I have checked your various resources cited and can find no resource offering this. Is it required I sell my own advertising to offer this or is there a vendor you can refer me to? Thanks, Todd Darren,

My site is new, and I have 68 clicks in the past 3 days which sounds like a lot to me but 0 sales out of those 68! Is that normal? My site is about HDTV and other high ticket items like Blu-Ray and such, so I am thinking that the items I advertise simply cost too much. According to your article though, I should see people browse through and purchase un-related items. Do you guys have better luck advertising cheaper items? I am curious what percentage of Amazon ad clicks produce sales?

As an Amazon affiliate, do you make the same commission if your blog reader purchases a used book as apposed to a new book?

I signed up as an Amazon affiliate but had no idea the extent to which you could take advantage of it. I also never thought to buy wheat germ shampoo from Amazon. Live and learn, I guess!

I joined Amazon as an affiliate recently, and even though I've had some clicks there have been no purchases. I need to improve on how I place my links and all that, but what's interesting is that I hadn't considered all the extra purchases that a user could make besides the product that I have linked to. Thanks, this is definitely what I needed to read because I was ready to give up on Amazon. This is encouraging to read.

Your review must have been compelling enough to get other photographers interested, to get them to want to visit. Good idea, thanks!

In the past I have tried image ads but I think that may be too much 'in your face' advertising. Perhaps a simple text link similar to your photography blog would work better. I'll give that a go.

I was under the impression that if a reader clicked onto Amazon's site from your affiliate link, then started browsing around, anything other than the initial linked item was not credited to your account. Can somebody clarify this? I'm pretty sure that was part of the agreement when I signed up, but maybe I misunderstood. --Mark That’s wild!
