Remember the last time i had suggested everyone of you to sign-up with the Amazon Associates Program? From the past 2-3 months I started trying out their options and looking into ways to earn money from their program. Exactly the last month I started linking to the referral links and also display their banners on our different blogs. Before you start doing this, my advice would be to first understand your traffic and ensure that if you get major traffic from US, then only this would lead to good number of conversions.
Once you login to your Amazon Associates you will be given an option to Search for products and generate the Affiliate Links for the same. I have added a small screenshot below which can make you understand this easily.
The code which is given is the direct link which you need to embed or link to, in order to earn commissions. There are many ways of promoting, but the ones which generally work are either Manual linking from your content or else using the Omakase Widgets because these would display products on your sites which are completely related to your content.
Now back to the Sales report as promised earlier, you can find the total number of Orders, clicks, CTR & Shipped Items. Amazon would pay you only when the products are shipped to the customers and the revenue slabs are based on the total shipped items.
The reports clearly show that there is an average of around 20 Orders / day while the difference of Orders & Shipped products would be actually shipped in the following month. There may be other reasons also like products are in Pre-Order which is why the shipping would not have been done. If you keep linking to the most related and useful deals, the chances of getting conversions increase.
Do let me know if you have any questions around the Amazon Associates Program and I would try my best to help you out.
Amazon associates is working fine for me, but need to concentrate on it a bit more to improve the conversions. Awaiting your ideas & valuable suggestions on the same. Thanks in advance.

I’ve been using Amazon products links on my blog after your suggestion, 2 months so far and there were no products sold. BUt what I realized that I need to improve my traffic and currently am getting 40% of my visits from US countries with 70% Bounce rate. I think Bounce rate is the reason for no product sale.

Amazon Associates is a very popular program – especially for website/blog owners. Amazon has a large selection of products for you to choose from – everything from cute sandals to iPads, from romance novels to camcorders, from blu-ray DVDs to china cabinets.
The great thing about Amazon is that they have variety of merchandise. I’m planning to promote Amazon products on my website.
Thanks for sharing an inspiring article.

How we will get payments from amazon? They send cheque in $$$’s. So, how many days and conversion of money will happen in rs. Any idea. As if now i am on $92 and 101 item shipped.
[Reply]
Amit Bhawani Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 10:50 am
You need to wait for the items to be shipped and then the following month Amazon would send you a revenue report and issue the payments.
Hi Amit,
I am planning to be an Amazon Affiliate. However, they make payments by 2 methods:
1. Direct Deposit – Only for US people
2. Checks – Your commission should be above $100 for this and 15% get cut on this, so we essentially will earn $85 check when we earn $100 commission.
This is my understanding.. Is this true?

I actually used amazon on one of my movie site which was getting daily 10k visits and I was getting only 2-3 sales. It was quite low for me So I removed. then I put some affliate from plimus which as movie subscription and I was getting daily 10 sale and was getting 30$ for each sale.
That site was hit by panda.

Amazon need targetted traffic. If you target amazon products…you will make tons of money. So, slapping amazon products to indian website make no sense. Because indian don’t allowed to buy from amazon US & UK. So, make targets. Next year i will make $50k in one month from amazon.
[Reply]
Keep it up dude… i too want such kind of traffic from Amazon Associates..!!
