Good points. :) I am looking forward to the book you mentioned long time ago [though you may not have even started it ;)]. I am hoping to finish a few this year; “hoping” is always the keyword that comes to my mind for such a thing.

One way to increase your Amazon revenue is turning the standard Amazon ads into “contextual ads” using the Amazon web service like this one. The contextual system is based on words contained in the title posts. Yes this is technical, but it’s worthed. I found this on the PHP-Nuke community, and this guy over there give an impressive name for: The AmaZense AKA the Adsense style of Amazon Ads. It is highly contextual.

@ Cheques Gallery:
My post was not specifically about increasing Amazon.com affiliate revenues - although selling your own books as an affiliate is mentioned as a way to further promote them. Instead I was trying to point out additional ways authors can become a part of the Amazon.com community to be sure their voice was a part of the conversation.
