When you targeting a product, Always write one to two follow up reviews and add the product rating as well. This will give more leads.

The only way you'll make any decent money with Amazon is either with 100s of networked sites, hundreds of articles on each with some really hardcore SEO work done to them. I set up a 20 page site about computer monitors when I was starting 6 years ago with online junk, extremely well optimized, great reviews... 2 years later only made $10 off amazon. Got into buying traffic direct to CPA and that blew up so good bye seo.

The biggest secret is just to send as much traffic as possible to Amazon's site. They are very good (maybe the best around) at converting visitors to sales, so just get them to the site.

Jodie...

How are you getting traffic to your sites? Is it all from organic google rankings?

When you say small traffic, how many visits are you getting to your site?

Where is your traffic coming from. You may have a bunch of browsers not buyers, although your best bet is simply getting as many people to amazon as possible. They'll buy something.

This is a numbers game. Keep on building until you find a winner.

It's all about traffic and a good enough page for clicks to happen. Keep it up!

It's weird. I have some sites with hardly any traffic and they make really good sales. Then I have other sites which get loads more click throughs and make virtually nothing.

I think it depends on the sort of traffic your pulling in. Exact product name search traffic converts brilliantly. That's what I've noticed with my own sites.

It is all about the traffic. You have to make sure the reviews feature links in the right places to get the traffic to amazon. After that, you just have to trust that amazon will do their job. It's not a quick process to make money with amazon, but you can do it if you put in the time and keep building traffic to your reviews.

Hi,

Please allow me to help with this matter.

Please keep in mind that Amazon in this case is a supplier of goods.
You are the seller of those goods.

If you are not getting results you have to ask yourself the question " are other people making money selling this product?"

Do a quick goolge search fro your product. Are there a lot of ads to the right?
If there are that means people are paying for ads there and if there are more than 3 or 4
there, somebody's making money.

click on those ads. See what they're selling. How much? Can Amazon compete?

Another thing you may want to consider is what I call the POWER OF ONE

One product. One website. One target market.

Think of who your ideal prospect will be. Go to Google adwords keyword tool. Search your keyword for more results.

There is a product that I can recommend that goes into all the details on this particular subject.

Pm me and I'll be happy to help.

"It's the keywords stupid!"

That's what someone told me years ago when I was starting out and I'll pass it along to you. In some niches, "product name" + "ratings" or "reviews" works like gangbusters. In other niches, "what's the best" + "product" works wonders. Also, you indicated that you've got a big button at the bottom. That's not the way, people are much more savvy than that today. Talk about the product, in a natural way prompt them to click on the link to get that cookie. Do it like this: That comes in several colors, see them here. Or see what others are saying about the product. Or, I saw this at a discount here. That should help out a lot. It will make the difference between success and failure. ALSO, this is important, try to capture each visitor by offering a buyer's guide to those products (of course, you should have your affiliate links in there) to get them on your list. Then, you can send them reviews of new related products.

How do you know they are clicking thru to Amazon? Is this Amazon stats or some other site you are using to see stats? Because if you are getting a lot of clicks and have had no sales in over a year then it may be that your affiliate link is incorrect. Check your affiliate links and make sure you have it right and have included the country code on the end.

The key to any websites success is TRAFFIC and without traffic then any website is dead in the water.

Additionally its no good attracting targeted traffic if when they get there you are not giving them what they are searching for.

The key with Amazon sites is to provide IN DEPTH information on the product in question, be sure you have an really great informational review on the product try to make it entertaining and informative at the same time.

Be sure you are using multiple methods of attracting traffic including review VIDEOS which can increase traffic dramatically especially if you make a nice video.

Video is even more important after the latest Panda update when your site may of been slapped into oblivion because video is really easy to rank so you can still get traffic to your Amazon sites while you adjust to the latest changes within Google.

For those that would like to see an article that give a rough idea of what might be a decent article here is one I made as an example

Please note: This specifically provided as a guide on how a decent article can be put together using text and videos personalizing it, and how it can be laid out. I used a brand name quite by accident and I do not recommend you register a brand in your domain.

Amazon is something that takes time and effort but you have to realize once you start making sales and build up the Authority of your site the money and sales will start to consistently come in, most give up way before that happens.

I do very, very well with amazon. It's important that you target products that are easy to rank and that you catch people late in the buying cycle. What I do is promote products that are very low competition and variations that people use when they are ready to buy.

What this does is allow me to rank with virtually no backlinking and the traffic I get converts very well due to the keywords that I target.

So, in summary: target low competition products, rank easily, make money. Of course the devil is always in the details. My personal blueprint below explains how I choose products and shows a full-page diagram of how I structure my own reviews.

Tom

Two things that I would make quick note of:

Firstly, I've seen a few people in this thread saying that traffic is the key. I would focus on targetted traffic as you can offer these people more value, and as such they will be more likely to click through to Amazon and follow through with a purchase.

Secondly, if none of your sites are making money ... then why have you three of them? In my opinion you should dedicate all of your focus to one website, practice and figure out what works for you, then perfect it and then you can replicate it with more websites if you like. But you have to focus and learn on one first ... if your focus is spread over several websites then you're less likely to succeed in the long run.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips everyone. Its always nice to have someone else's way of making $ from . I have yet to be successful with amazon (over 300 clicks and no sales!) but hoping that will change soon. Thanks again!

Most of my sales come from people purchasing other items, so I have a few different sites all feeding into the same affiliate account.

Tom is correct that by targeting very low competition products and buying keywords, will be a recipe for success, in fact I have a new software coming out very soon on a WSO that hunts out these exact products Tom is talking about, I am already using it and I am ranking products in 15 minutes to an Hour from scratch (all recorded) for low competition products works like a charm and is a good recipe to follow.

Traffic is still the key (as Jason rightly said Targeted Traffic, but I don't know any other sort and by targeting these low competition products you can quickly slip into Google results and start building significant traffic leaving others to fight over the higher competitive products.

I made an error on my first post with the example to a review article I posted as I put the wrong url it is now correct so for those that clicked it and thought WTF have another go

Targetted traffic is key. I'm using Amazon Kindle (currently selling my eBooks). The market is growing at fast pace...

Oh yeah, some people made a point.

But the point is, Amazon has some assets you can use. It has incredible credibility...Which creates a form of security for the home prospect. The commission rate's really bad, but the main power lies in its "upsells".

Amazon has this "Recommended for you" section that nearly always draws in extra purchases. You get this delightful payment... I once got over $2000+ worth in up-sells from someone who got crazy over purchases in Amazon.

And, the real magic's in pre-selling. That's the magic. Conversions. If you don't convert, you don't get customers to the Amazon page. And, obviously, you won't get any money.

Focus on that.

focus on keyword. Video marketing is also cool to generate traffic to your amazon website

Hi,

amazing thread here.

@ Gaz Cooper,the link to the galaxy mini site you have shown here, this is one product mini site.

Is such a business model as amazon affiliate better, as when I have 1 website with 5 or 10 product pages?

What is about the search volume for such a one page-one product mini site?
If I have a niche product keyword say about 200 search volume in google tool like;

xpro5000 crosstrainer, when I rank on spot 4-5 on google page one, I will get max.10% of this traffic who is 20 users. But from these 20 users I don't believe that I make 2,5 ore more sales with such a one page mini site?

Or you can say that from this example of 20 users, the conversion rate would be higher than 2%???

marco005

Marco...I'd focus on niche sites that target multiple products rather than sites that target a single product. What happens when that product goes away?

The people that make big money off Amazon are the ones that create products on 'how to make money with Amazon' and sell them to you.

So do you guys find amazon more lucrative or easier to use than clickbank?

Is it like comparing apples & oranges? Was able to make a few bucks off clickbank but I think its time to move over to amazon after all the threads I see just on amazon.

-Red

Pretty good info in this thread. Been trying to come up with a game plan and kind of dismissed Amazon due to past experiences, but that was prior to finding WF and having a better idea of how everything puts together.

My main concern is traffic, that it's always been my issue with any project I've attempted so far. On top of the low commission percent from Amazon, it just has seemed difficult for it to be worth while. Maybe I'll give it more thought.

Hello Op,

Yes, if you are building sites and monetizing them with Amazon, I would encourage the following. Then again, this is no guarantee. Sometimes the volume or conversions we think should be there just aren't:

- Solid KWR
- Build simple sites with around 5 pages of content and one review article
- Do not put Amazon on site for around the first 30 days of site
- Do simple SEO (either one time or cheap monthly social stuff - it's not worth it in my opinion and experience to do too much until you know you have a converting site that can rank)
- Add content at the rate and scale of 1 review article for every 3-5 content "info" articles. Have the review AND 'info' articles target longtail keywords.
- Do this until you hit 50 content articles and 10-15 review articles and then reassess. This much content even with minimal or no SEO should bring good traffic.
- If successful with traffic, continue to add content
- If traffic coming but no conversions, well, you need to look at your site structure and review types. Your main goal is to get the visitor to the Amazon site itself where you will then get credit for anything they buy on that visit.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all your responses.

I made sure I did my keyword research before putting the site together and found a low competition keyword with 2,000 exact matches per month, which the site is based on.

I've written 10 reviews and a number of blog posts about the best products etc. I am now ranking 6th for my keyword in Google and have a number of long tail searches including 'product x review' etc so I know the traffic is really targeted.

I am using Amazon's stats to see how many have clicked through.

[DELETED]

I bought, and had a word-press blog set up for me, I don't know how advanced you are, however I used micro-soft ad-center to drive traffic, did pretty good in the busy month of December. I would not use paid ad traffic unless you know what you are doing, you could lose a lot. I used a brand name keyword, but had to alter my ads
you can not use the brand name in your ads.

Hi,

wolfmmiii, yes when I make a 5 page micro amazon product site (summary 5 products) and each product has say 200 search volume and 2 page views, I will get 2000 traffic (on first spot in google) , on spot 4-5 on google page one it will be Ithink around 400-500 traffic in month, but with a good written review from this target traffic 2% conversions.

This example is better as only a one page product site like the galaxy phone site, then with this I have only traffic from 1 keyword, with the model above I have traffic from 5 keywords.

A strong focus theme I will use, the visitor does not have many choices, click to amazon or go,more choices are deadful for amazon affiliate business, like adsense there is the same-give them no choices.

With Amazon just focus on getting the user to click on the link so you get your 30day tracking period. You will get most of your commissions from completely unrelated products.

fenixpro describe very good point to keep in mind. structure of your site and your keyword research and promotion techniques also has an impact.
Embedded youtube video on your site and posting review articles are not enough to make your site as a income source. Social networking, bookmarking and authority backling to your site also very important but one thing also let me clear that do not go for quantity go with quality linking techniques.

I personally feel that it's sometimes best to take a step back and join a Amazon Coaching Program. There are some great guys in this forum who coach properly. We might think we have mastered it but when you go on this training, there are bits of the puzzle we missed out on. So having a coach/mentor can really help if you are struggling to make money

Have you checked your links with Amazons link checker to make sure they are working correctly? It may be obvious if you've had sites up for a year but you never know.

Great thread...

If someone clicks your affiliate link for 1 product but they don't buy it - instead they browse amazon and buy something else do you get credit?

And if so how long is Your affiliate cookie active -- 1 visit, 24 hours etc.

Thanks

Can you post a link to your sites? I'm surprised that so much advice has been posted without anyone actually asking this. The answer could be right in front of your face and some feedback might help you see what you've been overlooking.

What keywords are people finding your site with? Also, remember, basing anything on 100 or so clicks is very premature.

I am starting my amazon product website , hope to make money

I have won some money with amazon. How to work with Amazon is not with banners, you must have a site and work hard to get traffic. First of all, the theme must be about something that people buy, for example, digital cameras, if people are looking for a camera or accessory and you talk about that and you have a link to amazon, people buy. It is advisable to place the links in the middle of the article, the banners and pictures work very little.

Its a hit or miss. Make sure your aiming for good niches and your content is real quality stuff, no outsourced articles from fiverr!

Can you promote ANYTHING on amazon?

I think I want to promote music equipment because its so damn expensive yet producers are always buying new stuff. Plus its a niche I know a ton about.

So if I want to target the Waldorf Blofeld, should I be targeting keywords like "waldorf blofeld reviews" or "buy a waldorf blodfeld now"?

You guys are saying "long tailed", so maybe I can target something like "reviews on new waldorf blofeld synthesizer". Well its not that new anymore, but I know the day that synth was released there were videos all over youtube, all over music forums, basically everywhere.

So I'm probably targeted a more competitive product.

I find keyword research to be the hardest thing to understand in all honesty there are SO MANY keywords that I never know which to target. Like I can do a review targeting the keywords "which is better waldorf blofeld or novation xiosynth" I think I just need to start doing a crapton of keyword research and learn all the rules of the game.

It doesn't seem that hard to make money off amazon because I've bought most my music equipment by watching product reviews off youtube. Then when I found this forum I got so pissed off realizing most the reviews had agendas behind them lol.

That does it though, I'm getting tired of watching people make money off amazon I'm just going to go crazy making youtube video product reviews and we'll see what happens.

-Red

The trick is to find a popular product and then create a page which ranks higher than most others. For example you can create a landing page for a new HDTV model and then direct the visitor to the Amazon affiliate page.

It can be difficult but it also can be done. Getting your site to rank high for desired keywords takes time and effort but stick with it. There are plenty of free resources to help you as well.

Good luck

I have a very big market I promote and I am almost the only one, so yes you can make money with it

Hi,

My noob question;

its not easy to find specific product keywords who are profitable.
When I type my keyword like panasonic tms 3000 or so in google insights (local USA,year 2011), its showing not search volume, no data (data is not enough google said).

All specific product keywords I have found last week, shows in google insights, filter; usa, year 2011; "the data volume is not enough to show image"

Example like such a buyer keyword like this;proform cross trainer 970
google insights shows no data, not enough.

I stand on my head to find specific niche product keywords who are profitable.

So when this keyword in google external tool has a local exact search volume of 100 and nothing in google insights, this is not a profitable keyword?

Hi,

Now I think I concentrate my niche search on amazon best seller, and look if there are related items showing, when yes, then its a market.

Then I copy 10-20 product nich ekeywords and put them into the google tool to check their search volume.

Then select the keywords with the highest search volume and check each keyword on soc;
intitle:"keyword" + inurl:"keyword" + inanchor:"keyword"

and then the keywords who has a soc under 10.000, I check the competition on google first page with firefox seoquake.

Then I use the keywords who have a KPI under 1,9.

This folks is damm hard work, I sit down a week or so to find one niche and subniche keywords.

Are there recommend fiverrr gigs who do the work and find such niche and subniche buyer keywords for me?

I will not buy in semrush or wordstream or any tool.

Hi

my 2cents questions to the amazon affiliate professionals ;

I think search for products who is almost selling in catalogs too,this products people will buying online. Products as office desks or so as an example not, people will see it before they buy it.

Or expensive watches, I think people not buying these watches online, they will see it before???

???? Is that correct?

Folks...I've seen search volume mentioned a few times in this thread. Skip the keyword tool and search volume metrics. Most product-specific keywords are going to show no search volume. That's OK.

My sites get hundreds of visitors per day and they are all looking for very product-specific info. According to the logic that says search volume is too low, I shouldn't be seeing any traffic. That's simply not true.

I have to agree with Wolfmmiii many times I build sites and videos on products that have NO MONTHLY searches and still get sales, in my next launch which will be soon I will be specifically showing you this method. Also if you have the work ethic the low search volum can also be very good traffic as nobody is targeting it (except me a Wolfmmiii by the looks of it. LOL

Hi,

@ dear wolfmmiii, ok Im little philosophy about that again sorry please...you get sometimes a few hundred visitors from a buyer keyword that has no search volume in google tool???

So I try to think logical....then where does this traffic came from??? From heaven (choke please )?

Or does this traffic came from the google display network?

Google shows no data for an high target buyer keyword,but a few hundred people search for them, why google ,semrush and so on show us no data?

Yes, the best bet definitely would be getting as many people to go to Amazon as possible. This would only increase your potential for earning.

my question is how much traffic is needed before i put the ads of links on my site and start trying to convert.. should i shoot for 25 a day? or 50? more?? i need a small goal to aim towards and try to hit before adding the affiliate stuff

Add the affiliate stuff right away. No need to wait.

Do Amazon coaches offer any kind of guarantees?

Hi,

@wolfmmiii, do you additional promoting your amazon money sites trough web2.0 sites like hubpage or squidoo or so?

Question; When yes, on these web2.0 platforms you not write the same topic as your money site (that is stupid) you wrote in them on a more generic term like home im,provement tips or so (example)? Or does such hubpage and squidoo traffic not convert in expensive amazon products?

Do you recommend a one coloumn theme, this is fully focused, when you have a 5 product page, the products you not have in the sidebar, you put it on the main navigation (thats for smaller sites with 5-10 pages). On a one coloumn theme the user Has absolut no choises max 2; click to amazon or go.

Hi,

does shopzilla payout more than google?
Can I check the shopzilla peyout per click with the spyfu tool too?
(spyfu shows you the payout perclick you will earn for a keyword with adsense).

Shopzilla has not a fix percentage of click payout like adsense they have vage options like this (from their website);

Your earning is calculated about;

Level, or type, of integration within your website
Contextual relevance of the Shopzilla Publisher Program sponsored shopping content you have chosen to integrate within your website
Nature of your website user activity
Overall traffic quality of merchant leads, or redirects, that your website users generate to Shopzilla, Inc. merchants

That can means anything.

My PPC is usually $0.18 to $0.30 with Shopzilla. Much depends on the niche.

Hi,

wolfmmiii, not so ....I think the payout on product niches sites with adsense is higher,
for most niche keywords I have found, spyfu shows me most 0,50-0,80, what spyfu shows ist the payout what adsense will pay you per click, I think, 0,50-0,80 is not so bad,spyfu should be reasonably accurate, many people say.

To earn higher payouts per click like 1,50$ or more , I have found that these niches haves to heavy cometitions to heavy.

Especially on your long tail product keyword strategie,for long product keywords like;

Proform x5000 monitor elliptical trainer (is an example) spyfu shows no data.
For most amazon longtail products spyfu shows no data, so that Im little uncertain to use these keywords with adsense, I think amazon is better for them.

But a small detail with amazon, amazon pays always after 60 days (+10 days I live in europe) this is a long time.

But I think when you make sales within these 60 days, the following checks you get the next month after the 60 day period, so your income and payout is monthly.

Have you considered publishing to amazon KDP? In my opinion it's a much faster way to make some pretty good money.

didn't read the whole thread but i would suggest you to first get the feel of market , what is hot and then create lenses for that product . ranking a lens is much easier than ranking a web .

Hi,

wolfmmiii, is web2.0 like squidoo a good platform to promote my own site with amazon products (direct link in the sidebar from the squidoo lense) or is the squidoo traffic worst and will not convert like 1-2% with amazon high itmes?

marco005

Yaaay finally got a sale!

Yeah, if that's the case, I wouldn't worry yet. Provided you aren't over-SEOing your site, those kinds of sites will be easy to outrank. What I do is use Onlywire to bookmark each product page to 10-15 different sites. Once these links, no matter week, are indexed and counted, I usually see very easy rankings.

Very interesting thread. I am now having success selling Amazon on Squidoo, and am now starting some of my first ever niche sites of my own this month as I need to diversify now. So am on here, learning all I can!

I totally agree with Wolfmmiii, you can get buying traffic when Adwords says there are no monthly searches. Adwords Estimator will give you more of a hint. Even when it says 30 or 50 monthly searches you get more visitors in longtails if you write a good review, specially with multiple items. I don't really backlink and have been coasting on Squidoo's strength to rank and ultralow competition buyer keywords.

I never go product specific, clickouts are single digit and with barely any sales, and you have stale urls and products disappearing, so not worth the risk.

Short 3-5 item lists of Best X X or Top X X do well, 20-40% click throughs to Amazon, and categorized lists with 3-5 products per category ortype in 3 or 5 groups or categories often get 50-70% clickouts to Amazon. Both earn about the same $ all things being equal (which they never are!).

I am a bit nervous getting these websites going as the Squidoo is getting predictable, and I have a good idea of what works. I have had a sprinkling of organic search traffic an amazon clicks already, so no worse than the first few days of an article on Squidoo.

I am trying a 25-30 products review site, each post with about 250-350 words. One site with 15 or 20 products and short reviews as posts. One with 5 items/posts, and 3 sites with one 1000 word article (longer than what I do on Squidoo) with 3-5 items on that one page. It's an experiment, do you guys have any pointers as what is likely to work best of these. All are mundane $50-$1000 items, some seasonal, some not.

Jodie, your problem may be your products are a want, not a need. Needs get a higher buy rate by far, and less returns. Pick stuff people have to buy or all hell will break loose at home Well done on the sale BTW

Hi,

but for europe people like me; I must wait 60 days before I get the amazon check and then 30 days again wgen my bank payout the check (Obligo time).

My God absolutely impossible is that.
It's better I promote a partner program who pays me after max.45 days per paypal; after 45 days timeout for an customer credit card cancelling,so I have not the risk of it.

45 days is ways better than 90 days.......

Just get plenty of traffic to your site, without spending a fortune set up a YouTube account and create a few videos with good content related to what you are trying to sell, then make sure they are well optimised and have a link to your Amazon affiliate site plus a call to action on the end of each video to click on the link, and then if they are good videos worth watching they should get plenty of views, rank high in searches and gain plenty of follow up traffic to your site, gaining high numbers of sales.

low competition product is low price product?

Hi,

has anyone a tip for me? It's not easy to find good high product items on amazon bestseller, the most who are in price range from 800$-3000$..... they have no customer reviews, perhaps 2 or 3, ideal are 10 or more customer reviews.

Lower price products (100-200$)in the jewelry categorie too,they have often more than 10 customer reviews for an product.

But with 100-200$ your commission is not to high as affiliate.

Any tip here?

marco005

Hi,

ok thanks wolfmmiii, but when I sort products from high to low, the most not have customer reviews.........pain in head ist that, you will promote high amazon tickets and most of them has no customer reviews, this means, not people buying these products on amazon.

In the price range from 100-500$ max. there you will find more products who has 10 or more reviews, but the affiliate commission from such products are so lala, so lala......

10 sales from products who costst 500$ I made ~200$ in month with amazon, I must scale up this to 10-20 such product sites to make 2-4000$ in month as amazon affiliate.

2-4000$ with 10-20 amazon micro niche sites are much far better than earnings from 20 adsense micro nichi sites, who brings you perhaps 3-400$ 10 times lesser than amazon.

I've built several Amazon niche sites. But before I decide on a niche I Google it and review the competition. If I find that Google is saturated with Amazon ads and Google ads on the side bar, I keep doing this until I find a niche that has very few Amazon ads and Google side bar ads. Most niches are of beat with low searches but convert well.

Hi,

oniram,how you selected your product you will promote?
When I have products selected from high to low they have zero custoner reviews, nobody buying them.

Hi,

wolfmmiii, but I know how which amazon products people buy?
I have seen now I can select in the left menue in amazon the customer average, price range etc and so on I have overlook this.

But I can see that many many expensive products have zero reviews max 2-3, yes amazon has products in price range from 300-700$ who has more than 10 customer reviews, I think this is a sweet point.

Products over 700$ I found not have reviews.

So when I pick a product I type it in google insight to see if this product keyword is little bit popular also people search for them, when it shows a number over 45 for a keyword I think this is a good indicator not going under 45,be more then better.

But does products who has 10 or more customer reviews are easier to ptomote/sell?

I do very little if any research. As I mentioned in my blueprint guide, I simPly target products that very few others are promoting. Some products will get no traffic. I'm okay wih that because many others will.

Well said, Mike b. I will be picking up the Blueprint too and a couple of other Squidoo/Amazon WSO guides when my Squidoo pay comes in. There are always more things that work, more to learn. I want to get some awesome Amazon sites set up. I already sold a $340 item this week on one of my week old niche websites! Looks like this is going to be fun!

marco005, it seems you have a lot of reservations. It may be worth just picking something, jumping in and seeing how you d, and evolving your plan based on that. Squidoo for Amazon is free and Amazon earnings are paid by paypal. Also there are less concerns about paying for a website that doesn't work too. You can always use Squidoo to see if it is worth buying the domain for your squidoo article Kw if you are really risk averse.

I figure if something is on Amazon, it is selling, but if you want to know what lots of people are buying, look at the sales rank of the item. Amazon tells you the popularity rank based on how many are selling.

I find, generally the ones with low numbers of reviews are unglamorous everyday items, that are valuable but boring, a chore to buy, and either people take for granted or the reviewer won't get the "star" status they will get from doing a snobby Espresso machine review. Good luck.

Hi,

wolfmmiii, what does it mean when google insights shows for a long tail keyword only 1 or 2 local states? It shows only california as example, so onlx people from california search fot this term and people in other states no?

Should I go for another search term who has far more local states in google insights?
Sorry for my doubled post, warriorfoum was little bit hangup.

Hi,

wolfmmiii, with your method, I have to leave everything else what the others make.
Ranking with long tail buyer keywords.

Must see that my domain-main keyword has less competition under 100.000-better 30.000 and a KPI under 1,9 ( I look for that).

Picking longtail products from amazon is what I must doing with your method,who shows very less competition and search volume in any tool.

Wolfmmii, I think your approach is very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Two questions if you don't mind--

1. When you say low competition keywords, how many searches/mo are you talking about?
Double digits, single digits? That low?

2. You say you go after actual product name keywords even if there are no searches listed. How do you know when there really are no searches, as many low competition products will have no search volume?

Thanks

what are your traffic stats like. no trafiic means no money

Some great advice and tips here. I've bookmarked the page so I can continue reading another time. Has prompted me to check my Amazon links on my site. Appreciate all contributors.

I make avg $100 / day with videos to amazon. I know other people who have multiple yahoo answer accounts and setup question-answers. Just try find all the top free places you and post content to, and get busy. I like to have a little tool I used that creates several layouts from a single amazon item Id and just copy paste that to free website builders...

This question may have been already asked, but if some one buys something from your amazon site that is used, or is sold by a reseller do you still get payed?

Amazon seems like a cool venture, Ill give it a shot. Thanks for valuable info!

Hello. that's great for you. I want to make money from Amazon and i'm trying my best to do it.
But i think i have need to gather some knowledge about this and the easiest way to make money to carry.
I hope after completing those things and i will be reached on my target.

Dont give up!

Traffic is definitely the main cause why people fail in their online businesses. Below are some of the ways you can get traffic:

1. SEO - Google, Yahoo and Bing
2. Articles writings - article directory, Emule
3. Press release writings - if your products are proven to be effective
4. link exchange, traffic exchange programs
5. forums, newsgroup, community website
6. PPC - Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Website

They can help you to get more traffic to flow to your websites!

Amazon's affiliate program is working out great for me. I found that, instead of deciding between high-end or low-priced products, try to find some of your own passions and interests and write about them. You probably know a lot about certain topics that very few others do, and of the people who do know, very few are able to write about it. Like camping? Set up a camping gear website. I wouldn't know the first thing to say, but maybe other people could go on for hours about it.

I haven't had much success either with the Amazon Affiliate Program but I am not seeing the traffic that I could potentially be getting. More traffic means more sales, it's not a hard equation. What is your content like? Maybe add some fresh content, the more content you add, the more your website will get indexed by Google. That I do know and you will eventually begin to rank for material you had no plans on ranking for.

Amazon is still No.1 place to buy/sell things at there. I believe your main concern is traffic,
and comment or review you post about the product, maybe you can try building your list first before converting it to sales.
