Thanks. I have several informational (adsense) websites, and I'm going to try adding amazon product links right on the home page for one of them. I currently have a "products" page with all the links, but I figure why not add the same product links right on the home page? At least the best selling products? I'll see how it goes.

Make changes, test and find out what works better - that's the key to improvements!

Thanks

That is fantastic! Maybe you should also add some pictures and link them with your Amazon tag. I think people like to click on images

Will you reinvest the full 1000$ or spoil yourself a bit?

Thanks, yeah amazon is a powerful solution for sure. Since they have so much stuff, people end up buying a lot of other products I don't promote on my sites. That's because they get "tempted by Amazon", once they get there... related products, product recommendations based on earlier browsing, etc. Amazon is smart. I only wish my visitors would end buying some high end plasma tv's or other high priced items! They haven't so far.

Thanks

You could try picking a few high priced products. Write some really good, in depth reviews with good pictures and review info. These types of rich warm up pages have a much higher conversion rate than hoping to get a sale of of a traditional short paragraph or quick description and link combo.

This is what I'm doing... also, include video when you can, and make the site look professional.

All these milestones are important regardless of size because you have to reach them before you get to the larger ones that are truly life-changing.

It may not look all that impressive, but you've gone from zero to 4-figures with this one stream of income! That's only 2 orders of magnitude away from the "magic" 6-figures everyone seems to have as an interim goal on their way to being a millionaire!

well done

If you have several sites, check where the most sales came from and promote that one a little more and you should see a bit more sales.

  That's brilliant. It took me years to make anything with Amazon using their promotional tools. Then I started adding text links and linked images and the sales started to come in and grow every month. I'm sure that will happen to you too.
  
  Thanks

Thanks for all the encouragement. I am starting to add more Amazon links throughout sites. Hope to make $200 within a few months.

I want to mention my strategy : talk about good products that can help with specific problems or needs, then link to the product in your text in an inviting way. Pictures are good too, but sometimes people don't know they can click on an image, so text links are still very important.

I have tried Amazon stores too, but those perform very poorly for me.

I made 8c last month with amazon, someone bought a $2.50 audio jack

I've been working hard on 4 sites for the past 3 weeks. Invested in a good amazon wso, and good quality articles... I'm going to make some money out of this if it kills me!

I also have 3 adsense sites... the one in my sig is getting some good traffic, and the conversion rates have gone up a lot since I changed the site from white to black. I've only made $20 in the past 2 months from these, but they've been on hold, now that I'm concentrating on the amazon sites.

Well done. I think that my first sale was a quit smoking savings tin that didn't cost much. The point is that you have made a sale and now that you've broken your duck it won't be your last. With patience, practice and experience you should see your sales grow monthly.

I made $2 the month before that

... I didn't really know what I was doing.

I feel confident now that I can make a go at it this time... you just have to take a step back, re-group and come at it the right way. Oh, and put the hard work in.

Sounds like you need TRAFFIC? That's always tough, but keep working on a variety of methods of getting traffic, and the money will come.

Yes, traffic is what I need.

Of the 4 amazon sites I'm working on, 1 is up on page 1 of google, serp 6... the keyword get around 1000 exact searches a month.

The other 3 I'm working on, have much higher searches, around 15k.

I've decided to go with a warrior seoNuke service... I'm hoping this will make the difference.

The traffic is most important with Amazon, this will effect to sales. And this can gain by link building. We can do it daily and this will give the good result.

  I've found that a lot of the traffic that I get come from searches by product name, so these are people already thinking about buying that product.
  
  I post by product name and I link to product name posts. For instance with article marketing I link to the home page and use the second link for a product name post.
  
  Thanks

Congratulations in gaining over $100 from Amazon. Your subject matter is certainly a subject which won't disappear overnight and there will probably be a demand for products which eliminated bed bugs. I think you've made the right choice in focusing more with Amazon and less with Google Adsense.

Waterburn....Congrats!

As you can see, it pays to test and measure your results!

I've tested all sorts of linking configurations for Amazon and I can tell you hands down that text links by far convert the best!

Be sure not to overdo the links either. I've found that 1-1.5% text link density is optimal.

Keep up the great work!

Congrats!

You can even upgrade it by selling higher priced product. My experience with Amazon is that when I drive people using very expensive product, they tend to stick around on the site and eventually buy something.

Try that strategy.

Hi caseyscreen!

If you do a search for Amazon and Amazon Associates on here and start with the 5 star threads, you'll have more than enough information to take action on. A lot ofgreat Warriors on here have been generous enough to share their gameplans on here. Just follow what they have to say...No need to reinvent the wheel!

That's a nice start!

I think if you approach the entire web page as creating a very helpful review/comparison/informational site (instead of just adding some more links) you'll start earning a lot more sooner.

Thanks waterburn. I've seen a couple of bedbug sites before, but not with the amount of work you put into yours. I appreciate all the info.

I also enjoy your username. I'm a bit of a forum rat and I use a few on different forums. They are all interesting, not the 'tds13' sort of username.

Except for the one I use on this forum. I'll have to work on that one.

Thanks
