Amazon is said to convert far better than Clickbank. It's down to the big trust factor that Amazon has. People are going to feel much safer about buying from Amazon over an unknown Clickbank sales page.

I've promoting a few Amazon Electronic products back in my days. MP3 players, Games, TV
s etc you know. I made top ten reviews blogs in every niche and the conversion rates was really good. Remember it was something like 10-20 sales each 1000 visitors. The cool part about Amazon wasn't that I mainly sold electronics, but the part that for every purchase for whichever product the reffered customer did i got conversion. So I often ended up with converting books than MP3 players.. but to the end, it' was pure profit.

Looking good outside,
Mike Tyler.

A tough competition but if the other site where the real products are sold from then the competition must be expected. Other than that no competition.

100 clicks and 1 sale is great!

I wouldn't count for CB to perform that good. I get one sale per 1000 clicks or even more.

I think most affilates average around 3 to 5% once they start getting things figured out, and it usually goes up from there.

I'm averaging about 8% on my sites, some better, some worse but the overall average is about 8%.

There are affilates out there claiming 15% and higher on a regular basis, if they are actually getting that then that is "great"!

Per click, Amazon converts better for two reasons:

1. You're selling real, tangible things. People already know they need one and aren't expecting the internet to give them a free answer.

2. The trust in Amazon means that people don't worry about being scammed or that they'll order something and the product won't show up.

My typical Amazon sites convert at around 7-15% whereas my best performing CB campaign ever was 3%.

Maybe I'm not as good at Clickbank promotions, but I always chalked it up to if someone wanted to dig a hole, you don't need to sell them on needing a shovel.

I have not yet gone into the world of Amazon. I want to try it, but something about writing reviews intimidates me.

I am promoting a clickbank product, but I need some help: how are you counting "conversion rate"?

When I had a store that sold physical products (many years ago) I counted conversion rate as # of visitors per sale.

however, here it appears people are counting it as number of CLICKS per sale. What is your click conversion rate?

I make 1 clickbank sale for every 500 visitors. I have about a 'click' conversion rate that hovers around 4%.

For every 20 clicks I get one sale. So my click to sale conversion rate is 5%.

However, if I use the sales per visitors ratio, my conversion rate is 1 sale in 500 customers, or .2%

What is the standard method for tracking conversion rates?

Thanks

I think it is against my TOS to give out conversions. Try very low and then some. Usually it picks up now. After all, we are in an xmas season. Happy holidays to all, hope that things at amazon start to improve soon. Hey, we can all use some more money.

I average between 5% and 6% right now, during the slow months it's more like 2-3%.

Conversion rates alone don't tell the whole picture, though. CB pays a lot more per product than just the 4% to 6.5% Amazon pays outside the electronics department. Electronics only pays 4%.

2% conversion at $20 per click beats 5% conversion at $5 per click anytime, methinks.

  Thats great!
  But how you make it, to get this high conversion rates?
  
  Do you have amazon widgets? Or you have the product direct link? Do you cloak your amazon affiliate link?
  
  Do you set the product with the link above your posts? Or with a widget in the sidebar?
  
  How you have build your theme ,to get this good conversion rates?

My conversion rates (without a review of the product) are usually between 2 and 3.5% but sometimes reach 4%

I believe about 3% is the ballpark figure to aim for in most cases, although I have seen examples where conversion has been as low as 0.02% and as high as 15%.

It all depends on the product, the niche, the traffic source, and your pre-selling ability.

Wanted to bump this up since I asked something similar and didn't get a response...thought this might put this into perspective:

Here's our situation (partner and I):

*two accounts with wildly different conversion rates
*one of them steadily performs at 5-7% and the other has tens of ZERO days and then one with something like 12% conversion

If you look at the keywords we are ranking for, the other account should actually be performing better, with a lot of actual product names...

This made me think there's something wrong with the tracking and of course after calling amazon they told me they do not see anything wrong.

Anybody with similar experiences?

Thanks

amazonian 8 years ago

I was thinking my conversion rate was low and maybe I should revamp my site or something, but it is at 20% right now with a little less than 15% average for the year so far. It is an old and plain looking site, but from reading others' comments - perhaps this is a good thing.

I get no Google traffic at all due to it being flagged for too many backlinks so this is mostly Bing and Yahoo traffic.

I'm not making a lot of $$ though and wonder if I should start from scratch with another domain etc... so I can get Google traffic as well? Or maybe Google is simply done with Amazon affiliate sites.

Any thoughts?
