INTERNET MARKETING

I came across this website using a plug-in I have in chrome called "StumbleUpon" I use it when I'm bored.. Anyways, this website I discovered I think is just a web store front amazon affiliate program, right? He sells the most interesting stuff on there, do websites like this make good profit?

He probably is making money. I had the urge to buy stuff when I saw the domain name. The sex panther cologne made me wanna buy again. That is a good site...

  I think people searching within this sort of market would result in a very high percntage of buyers as you will hit the impulse buyers and the "searching for a unique gift" type of buyers.
  
  People searching for everyday items tend to use the internet for research purposes just as much as a final buying purpose so I can imagine this has a much higher ROI.
  
  Thanks

  This reminds me of skymall. Any seasoned traveler knows exactly what I'm talking about. These items feel a lot more interesting though. Definitely profitable.

If it gets good traffic, I would guess it makes decent money.

For what it's worth, according to SEMRush only 1 low volume kw in top 20 Google results, yet it's got 1.3K Facebook likes and you found it via Stumbleupon. Goes to show Google is not the only game in town.

Great idea for a website, I think the owner could be missing out on a trick though with such a crazy array of products. Imagine if he wrote his own comedy style reviews for products such as this;

I think it'll make a good profit, give it a few months and you will see some advertisers on this site.

I would say he is probably making some good money of the site. However, it looks kind of new low google ranking of 2, yet a strangly low alexa ranking of 100,000. The good thing is he has designed a site that on the service does not really look like an Amazon affiliate site.
