What's up with Amazon?

Hey warriors,

I have been marketing Amazon prime through a traffic source that has delivered over 8,000 clicks. The problem is no conversions! When I was doing my research, google trends indicated that interest in Amazon prime was up by 4,000% and with the free 30 day trial I thought just a small amount of traffic would see at least a few conversions. What do you think, is Amazon screwing me?

    Go into your associates account at Amazon to the ORDERS REPORT section.

    Scroll to ITEMS WITH NO ORDERS. Click on the drop down button. You will see the items that were clicked on that you did not get an order from.
    Now you can see if your traffic source is genuinely delivering clicks. If it is and they are not buying odds are good you have a poor source of traffic. You can get thousands of hits from some sources and no buys if the traffic is not targeted.

    Also what is the traffic source? Keep in mind that Amazon does not allow certain types of sites, offline marketing etc.

      Oh my goodness - I can't believe I never noticed that little expansion arrow at the bottom of that report! Really useful data too - thanks

    What is your traffic source, it needs to be targeted.
