Amazon for higher traffic sites
Amazon is a really tricky one. Funny because they got the whole associate/affiliate ball rolling in the first place.
I have amazon links on one of my sites but it is not the main source of revenue from that site.
The site averages about 1000 hits a day, which is not a lot of traffic, but i get some sales in Amazon from that traffic. I think 10 hits a day is just too little traffic to make any money from Amazon
There is the 1 day cookie clause which is just ridiculous. But it must be working for some affiliate marketers or they would have scraped it by now.
I remember there was an ebook making the rounds about a year ago called amazonian king. Claimed to make a fortune as an Amazon affiliate. Wonder how he is doing now?
The other problem with Amazon is it is such a household name that people do not need your affiliate link to find the site.
Having said all this in general, if you are running a campaign for any length of time [a month maximum for me] that has not paid for itself, either change it [that is try to improve it] or scrap it and move on.
