Does anyone here make money with GAN?
I am not talking about adsense, I am talking about "google affiliate network" I joined their affiliate network about a month ago, so far I have 189 clicks but 0 sales!
My GAN links are for good products by well known brands such as sears.com and kmart but yet no sales at all. WHAT can be the reason???

I am using also amazon affiliate network and with them for a similar amount of clicks I have got already 6 sales!

Is it GAN? or is it ME?

    It's you.

    I work some niches that have conversion ratios of 1000 to 1.

    The internet is the ultimate way to Window Shop.

    Your numbers so far don't mean anything.

    But you can look at the keywords people are using to find your site/offers.

    You can look at affiliate histories.

    You can look at market research to see what companies do convert.

    Some affiliate programs are DOGS... some niches are POOR converters.

    You have to figure that out.

    Don't just throw up links and expect to make money. Figure out why something works and or why it doesn't work.

    Figure out what people really want.

    Make sure that the click path you are using actually works, look at the backend, is it easy to buy, is there a problem with your presell. Etc.

    But you simply do not have enough information yet to analyze.

    You should also know that people using Amazon are more likely to buy if they know the BRAND and many affiliate programs do not enjoy that brand awareness.
