its true amazon creates a certain trustworthiness that comes with a well recognized brand. but the same could be said for adsense.

I think Amazon produce high conversions because everyone knows the company and once they click… they will be extremely tempted to buy!

Only a 1 day cookie? I didn’t even know that. I agree that their payout is low (in percentage) but on the other hand they are masters at converting visitors once they are on their site. And that will benefit you as an affiliate as I believe (I’m not 100% sure) that you’ll get your cut from the ENTIRE purchase and not just the product you were promoting.

Amazon maybe might work on some websites, but I have avoided them since they only have a 1 day cookie and their commission percentage is low (last I checked)

Yes they are, I am testing a few different methods but they convert very well indeed.

Are they still converting well for you? I’d really like to see a blog post with some metrics so people like me can compare it to other ad networks.

Based on this thread I’ve now tried to implement the Amazon feature on a very specific niche website. For some of the pages it looks like the tool can find relevant products but for most others it is way off. This means that so far the conversion is below about 1%.

I’ll let it run for a few more weeks and unless things change I’ll go back to either picking the products myself or finding something else than Amazon.

But if you don’t try you don’t know

i find the amazon widgets to be of little value but direct links to products can do pretty well.

You could create a new tracking ID for each section on your site as a way of tracking clicks / conversions for different areas.
