When I was promoting amazon the BIG downside was that it took several months to get paid... which made it impossible to promote on PPC (not sure if it's still like that).

The other downside is that it's much harder to promote physical products with article marketing... which is my main promotion technique right now. I'm going to find a way to make it work but I'm too busy with info products right now.

I have got to admit it, Amazon kinda wins for me
It's counterintuitive because you have an affiliate program with a one day cookie [Amazon] vs one with a cookie life of 30 days and the one day cookie still wins
Very little in terme of refunds with amazon and sales everyday

I love amazon when it comes to christmas. My earning would skyrocketed about 5-6 times while my other site clicks and sales decrease at christmas.

However, amazon is less profitable than the other networks, but it provide some nice little earning for me.

I like Amazon more but that is because I am biased and have build a plugin for wordpress to create Amazon product sites fast.

What my main liking is, is the fact that sales of physical products are much larger then ebooks and other clickbank related products. Plus...the competition for for instance a " Dewalt Belt Sander" is much easier to beat then all the clickbank affiliates...there are more niches. Amzon has millions of products in thousands of categories and they are trusted by a lot of people

if your looking to sell something other than info products amazon is the easiest and fastest to get set up. Think in terms of holidays, the largest consumer spending period of the year is about to approach us, and what do people buy for christmas? They buy "real" products. Toys, TV's, phones etc. And they will spend billions.

Cmoney makes a great point. I've always been turned off because of their low commission percentage but it's certainly worth looking into for the holidays.
