Advantages of Posting Amazon Links
I have been an associate with Amazon for many years now and I have really never done nothing with it. Yep I played with the a-store features and a few other things, I never really made much with it. I made $10 a few years back promoting a free after rebate item- never much luck after that.
Recently, I put up a vertical banner on my high traffic lingerie website front page with a related search term. You can see it here at www.ladystrange.com. Note: this is the only page it shows up on. I was checking out Big Screen TV’s & laptops for the Christmas List and decided to check out my associate account and Low & Behold I made $6.72 Since October 16 through November 16. None of the products sold have anything to do at all with lingerie. It has something to do with cookies and if someone clicks one of your amazon links and then later that day buys something you get credit for the sale.
I know $6.72 is nothing to write home about but it has given me inspiration to display more Amazon Banners.

Banner ads don’t convert well. I never had any succes with banner ads.
It is best to post product links. Post links to relevant products and people will buy.

Yeah, the banners with related content or search terms do better. I have tried using individual product displays also- the problem with this is eventually the product expires ( high maintenance). So I think the best is to use a related keyword search with a product display. Thanks for stopping by.
