No money with Amazon

can you tell me how much (maximum) can I make from Google ADS from your own experience i mean waht is ur maximum earning from that? I just want to get the practical and true answer.

Thanks

you're not basing this on anything factual. you should really avoid making such statements when you don't have anything to base them on.

I completely disagree. Most people just use the basic resources provided by Amazon and chop it up to Amazon not converting well. I assure you that you can make quite a lot of money with Amazon. I have 100+ Amazon sites that average $1-$50 per day each.

It's hard to give specific advice for your situation without knowing the site, the niche, products, advertising methods, etc.

Certain kinds of sites may not convert as well as others. Personally, I make my sites so they are only receiving highly targeted traffic. It sounds like you may have that going for you, but there could easily be other problems. If you are using the advertising tools from Amazon, that's usually the most common problem. They convert horribly.

Another issue could be the location of your website visitors and/or the products being promoted. Some products on Amazon may be limited to shipping to certain countries. As an example, there are quite a few electronics on Amazon.com that won't ship outside of the USA. If your niche has products like that and your traffic isn't USA based, that can easily cause bad conversion rates.

I use a plugin to make my Amazon ads. I made the plugin, but it's something I modeled after my own advertising that converts at 4-12% (depending on the niche and/or product price).

I don't make blog sites or really even review based sites, like many other Amazon site runners do. I try to create higher quality affiliate sites that people actually share, bookmark and become loyal to. To accomplish that, you just have to provide useful, unique information and do it in a very user friendly manner. I try to use a minimal amount of ads on my sites and hardly ever put more than one or two on a single page, while numerous pages won't have any ads at all. Many marketers view that as a poor way to convert traffic, but I disagree. People want quality, not just an automated review and an ad slapped on every page. Since marketers have traditionally been able to "persuade" people to buy things with dirty tactics, it's become accepted that it's the proper way to do things.

I have a couple of threads that give you more detail on the way I do things with my Amazon sites, if you'd like some more information.

How to Find a Niche Market

Who cares about clicks? Conversions is what counts.

Wow! If you are getting this kind of traffic I would certainly put up adsense! It would be WAY better, plus it doesn't matter if the traffic converts or not because you get paid per click vs. getting paid on a sale.

Better yet you could leave the amazon, CJ, CB, or whatever there and put your 3 adsense ads up and make money on all of them...however your adsense earnings WILL be less doing it that way.

Have you checked your links to make sure you have the correct code?

When I started out I made my own codes and I left off the country code accidently - lost a lot of sales that way.

Have you checked to see what countries are visiting your blog?

Install Statcounter.com (it is free) and see where your traffic is coming from. I was surprised to see most of my visitors on one of my sites were coming from the UK. When I dished up an appropriate product for them my sales took off. Are you using Amazon links for different countries?

Is the product you send people to what they are looking for? Again use Statcounter to check queries and make sure you are serving up what they want.

"What type of site you have?"

Its a real blog ;-) real advice on how to learn languages. No product reviews so far...

"have you tried any clickbank proucts?"

No. The blog is in german language and there are not many german clickbank products yet...

I would love to know how you do it.

Thanks for the tip! An ad rotator could be great to find out which product works best!

I do not sell toasters... Please read at least the first post before giving "advice"... The blog is about learning languages. I obviously sell books and other related stuff like dvds...

Thanks for the advice. I should focus on more expensive products!

I will try that soon. thanks for the advice

My amazon is really hit or miss. I have a few small niche sites which get decent traffic, but not much sales. I get around 300-400 amazon click a month, but only make a few dollars. I think a big problem with amazon is the 24 hour cookie. The only time I have seen it high was over the holiday in December

Nikon came out with a popular new DSLR this year (can't remember which one) and I was going to buy it. As soon as it hit the shelves at Amazon it was sold out... partially fueled by pre-orders. In fact, it was sold out at damn near every online retailer I looked at. And it did cost more than $600.

People ALWAYS have money to spend. During the best of times and during the worst of times, people have money to spend IF you're targeting people with money.

Language learners who buy $647 packages are typically business people and expats who (a) have the money to spend because their company might be footing the bill, or (b) must learn at least some of the language, and already know the great reputation behind Rosetta Stone.

Plus, Rosetta Stone gets people hooked by selling smaller less expensive packages. So you have people who already use Rosetta Stone, love it and simply want to continue with the same program.

You really have to understand the reason why people buy expensive products in order to sell them successfully. Know what factors cause someone to seek out an expensive product. Sometimes it's not just a matter of putting up a rehashed review.

Yeah it's because you earn commisions if they click on your amazon affiliate link and then buy something, it doesn't matter what affiliate link page they see, if the cookie is still active when they buy it, you earn a commission.

this made me laugh! it's a british saying (i think) which means you're telling somebody something that they already know, much like "preaching to the converted".

Be sure to also look at going after category keywords with qualifiers that get good search volume and use it in your domain name as well as backlinking.

So instead of treadmills, look at treadmills reviews or treadmills for sale. See if the .com/.net/.org is available for that phrase. Then optimize your site for that phrase and use it in your backlinking process....So many great phrases are still available!
