How are my Amazon numbers?

So I am a new Amazon affiliate this year. Finally starting to see some traffic to my site and getting some action, so I was looking for some thoughts on these initial numbers:

This is November 28th through December 4th, so seven days.

My site:

Page Loads: 2,443
Unique Visitors: 1,145

Quite excited about those traffic numbers...

Amazon:

Niche product price range: $15-$60 per item.
Clicks: 467
Orders: 25
Conversion rate: 5.35%

I feel like I could be onto something really good here, but I have never really been an Amazon affiliate before so I have nothing to base my numbers on. Additionally, I am looking to make an extra 1k to 3k a month with this site, so I have to do quite a bit of volume given the price range my niche is in.

    Looks like you have a winner!!!

    Awesome work!

    Now expand on this niche and make a website for EVERY product within the niche to ensure best returns.

    The HARDEST thing is finding a well converting niche - once you get one make the most out of it!

    To answer your original question though - looks very good...

      Well I appreciate the feedback. Now, on the quoted comment above. When you say make a website for every product in the niche, I have a few questions about that.

      My website currently is focused as such:

      Widgets manufactured under the Super-Widgets brand name.

      So, should I make an individual web site for each widget that super-widgets produces? Or are you saying find different product lines and brands within the niche?

      Currently my site has reviews and product pages for each widget that super-widget makes, I assume you are saying now to make individual websites for each of those product as well.

      If that is so, should these also link to my main site?

      Thanks again for the help.

    As the other warriors have said expand your product range by looking for similar products to promote then build the websites to market them effectively (use wordpress). Your figures are really encouraging well done.

    An Amazon conversion rate of 5% is pretty average. In general, Amazon products convert very well.

    Just checked my Amazon conversion rate over the last 7 days and it's just over 25%.

      Nice job, those are some good numbers for just starting out with amazon. Keep doing what you are doing and try to add some more higher ticket products if you can.

      So are you saying 25% is pretty average for your set of products or is that a high end of the range you are experiencing right now?

      Is that sustainable?

      I am also trying to figure out if I should be tweaking my page to increase conversions...I mean I realize that is an ongoing battle, but if the conversion rate is a fair one for now, I will concentrate on other things that will bring more volume.

    First off your doing a great job with those initial numbers, now just ramp it up a bit and continue doing what you are doing.

    As for conversions 5% is about the average conversion for what many AA report and some of the top AA have 12-15%.

    To imply 25% is normal is a stretch, as 25% conversions on Amazon would be on the very high end of the scale for an Amazon Affiliate.

    Beginners should not expect those types of conversions and while not impossible since UMG is doing it, it is FAR from normal.

    Kickin it on Amazon

    You are onto something good.

    Now that you have a winner you can build a system that guarantees you money. The more quality content you publish, the more traffic you can get, and the more sales you can make.

    Review whatever you did to get to the point you are right now and look for anything you may have done wrong and fix it, and most importantly, rinse and repeat to make more money.

      Between 5% -6% sales conversion is exactly what I seem to get almost every month. It's interesting that this is the average for sellers overall because in my experience it seems to be so consistent, especially once you reach a certain amount of clicks per month

        Thanks for all the feedback. I do have another question:

        I want to keep better track of my outgoing links to Amazon for this site, so I wanted to write a PHP script with a header redirect and then some type of counter to help me keep track, but I have seen mixed reviews about using redirects for Amazon links.

        Is it okay in Amazons eyes to do something like this:

        <a href ="link_tracker.php?type=widget">Click here to purchase widget</a>

        then on link_tracker.php have:

        //redirect to proper amazon page based on type variable
        //track that click for future research/evaluation


        Basically each outbound link would instead be a link to a php script that evaluates what link was clicked, tracks it and immediately redirects to the proper amazon.com link.
