I've been really ramping up my Amazon ads on my site, both with tables of relevant products and linked text. I'm super jazzed because I've sold 7 items this month so far, and that's a first for me. I'm hoping it will increase over the rest of the month.

What tips do you have for Amazon ad placement or other ways to increase Amazon sales? I try to make sure I've got a good price mix so people won't be intimidated by crazy expensive stuff, but those with the cash can still click the "better" items. I'm doing a 5-wide picture link ad table about mid-way through my articles. It looks pretty cool, and I've actually sold two higher dollar items through those.

Anyway, I seem to be making more off Amazon than I am on Adsense (not much more), so I'd like ideas about how to really optimize my site for Amazon to maximize my income potential. Thanks!
