Amazon - has this happened to anyone?

8 replies
As I've just started out and seeing my results, i get excited checking my associate account once a day usually in the morning. I logged in this morning and it looks like my account has not been updated from yesterday! All the stats from yesterday remain the same. I make sales on a daily basis so I know something is not right. Have checked websites for visitors and had enough to make sales. Even if no sales, there should be a change in the no of clicks or the number of orders dispatched. Am I panicking for nothing...

    Make sure that it's set to the right timezone, but I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe they're just doing maintenance.

      Thanks. That's a relief as I wouldn't want to loose my commissions.

        Abbie,

        Amazon only updates the stats once a day, so you may be looking at it before the update.

        P.S. I'm really excited you are making consistent sales! That is great!

          Thanks Sara

          I had checked several times this morning, same time as usual. Just checked again and it all seems to be sorted now. My conversion has gone slightly up from yesterday from 9.02% to 9.05%. These little differences motivate me a lot!

      Thanks Ernie. I have 2 sites which are active. Saying that I is making the most sales. It is on the first page of google but not in the first spot. The other one is still on page 2 of google.

      Site A - making most money, was set up in February and got to first page of google in April. It's a product most will not touch as the price range in the category is so low. But has 30k exact local searches per month and the pennies do add up.
      Traffic - about 100 a day

      Site B - set up at the end of April - made 4 sales to date. this is now on page 2 of google. working on it to get it to the first page.
      Traffic - about 20 a day

      Both are wordpress.

      My stats as at now in Amazon.

      Items dispatched - 100 (This is to date for June only)
      Referral Rate - 6%
      Ordered Items - 109
      Clicks - 1205
      Conversion - 9.05%

      Hope this helps.
