I think not only majority of the online store’s sales are up for the holiday season, conventional shops are doing pretty well too…its seasonal for everyone

I’ve received a few commission certs. from Amazon, but I’ve never been able to figure out the secret to really generating a profit.

I’m happy with what I do make from them. It’s just enough to keep me in supply of the books I want, but I’m certainly not planning on retiring from it.

Oh, and I’m with Hsien on that one! No one ever buys what I recommend. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that! :D

I only have a few affiliate ads on my non-b5 blog. I will actually increase them throughout this month and January, because most of my sales come right *after* Christmas…women buying their own gifts with their Christmas money. Up until then, traffic is brisk but sales are small, and affiliate sales seem to keep pace.

aStores are performing especially well at the moment! AdSense hasn’t gained any significant growth!

I only have AdSense on my current blog, but interestingly, revenue is a little up of late, even though I wouldn’t think that the ads served are really holiday shopping season type buys.

Well, after hovering around the $98.66 level for 2 years and never receiving any payouts from Amazon .. I can finally say that I broke the threshhold with $100.67 .. earning that elusive $2.01 commission for 2006 Xmas! WooHoo.

I’m just not good at the Amazon promotion I guess. I said I would go out after hitting $100 .. but, I’ll wait until December 31 to commit myself on this .. as it was always hypothetical that I would ever reach $100!

I really wish I can say that my earnings are going up. This month has been a real disaster for me. I’m basically new to blogging and last month I started a blog on video games. I would post my reviews on games and even include posts with cheat codes. Results: my traffic went from 40 -50 visitors a day to over 900 the last 2 weeks of the month. Then December came….

My numbers have been abismal. I was beginning to average $3 a day in earnings, hoping to double that this month…. numbers are just terrible at about $0.25 a day.

I don’t understand… Google had certain posts ranked #1, now they’re no where to be found…. I just feel like giving up.

Amazon is up 60% and counting, Adsense is way up but I did rework my ad placement as well. I don’t use Chitika and haven’t checked my BlogHer stats. Text link ads are about the same or even a little less though. Of course my actual business is up at least 4x because of the Christmas card ordering, crazy!

I agree about Amazon, I have used it though in more places, maybe that’ what did it :)
By the way, Adam, love your site at Men in Aprons, very well done!

AdSense has picked up on my blog, still waiting for that very fist sale tru Amazon associates though. Still, the Christmas season isn’t over yet.

My amazon affliliate earnings skyrocketed starting the day after thanksgiving. Adsense clicks are up but I haven’t seen an overall increase in earnings. I’ll know more at the end of the month.

Hi Darren,
Amazon is performing very well actually, but Adsense’s CPM decreased remarkable. I have no explanation for this, maybe it’s topic-related.

Hi Darren,

Holiday season and launch of Vista is a bonus. I have had some good sales on Amazon – with the likes of watches, x-box consoles and quite a few Sandisk Cruzer memory sticks 9since san disk supports ready boost technology in vista).

Fingers crossed ;-)

Cheers!

Lots more orders via Amazon Associates starting around the end of November. Yippee! I always get a chuckle seeing what people are buying. Usually not anything I’m recommending. Nuts.

Hi Darren,

It’s a good question you’ve asked.
Since I’m new to the online marketing I’m not sure how to measure what I’ve
accumulated so far. I have both AdSense and Affiliate ads working and have seen more revenue return from the AdSense so far.

This is only my 2nd week of marketing though and the money amount is small, but I’m taking it slowly and trying to learn along the way.

I appreciate your article as always, Take Care !
