I think that this is a big limiting factor, especially if you use PPC to promote their products. Amazon has 1 day cookie.

I don't even buy anything online and yet I usually turn to Amazon when in search of new stuff. Aside from the user reviews (which are very helpful and in-depth), they also automatically provide you with a list of other similar choices. It makes browsing all the more entertaining. Look at me.

CG currently gets 40-50K visitors a day but that is also up due to the season.

Usually, everyday can generate about $100 on my site. But your site is very nice, it have uped to $400!!! The high price products is difficult to sell. How many visitors come to your gadget site everyday? Amazon is another good idea to make extra revenue. Usually, everyday can generate about $100 on my site.

I have links, but really don't do much in the way of emphasizing them. They are a great company for referring a specific product. Can't find that with many other affiliate sites.

They keep a top 100 items sold for all the usual categories and it's updated hourly. It's a nice tool to help me choose what to blog about. I like Amazon’s Bestsellers list.

I do sell a lot of electrical items (low $xxx) which are a nice value but the commission on electrical goods is fixed at 4% whilst commissions on other items are tiered. Looking at yesterdays stats the cheapest thing I sold was a Dilbert calenday at $9.99 whilst the most expensive was WowWee Robosapien at $169.98 (which for some reason isn't classed as an electrical good so I earned 8% from that). My biggest all time individual item was a $2K plasma TV. Yesterday was actually my best Amazon day ever with 139 items shipped, revenue $9,442.63 and referral fees of $447.74 :) It varies a lot.
