Amazon Affiliates Site my Journey so far

[onkar]

I have started Amazon Affiliate based on various methods IM's have mentioned here along with few modifications (sort of A/B testing). Off late I have been generating traffic to the site. Google Analytics data some of the traffic is bots traffic and some traffic is direct one.

Amazon dashboard too says with some traffic, however no-conversion. Just want to know from experts, is it bot traffic that is being passed onto amazon as well or, "real" traffic my site is sending to Amazon.If the traffic is real, how do I maximize the conversions ?

Experts any other tips, please welcome.

It's probably bot. This month so far, I got 250 clicks and 6 sales, making me $6 in commissions.

Lately finding a real profitable amazon niche is a huge pain in the a$$. Following are my current month's earning so far.

I have quite a few amazon sites that are ranking very well but getting very less traffic and sales. Even though all the keywords tools shows good searches

The key is PATIENCE & PERSISTENCE

IMO PERSISTENCE is KEY to be successful as a IM . Profitable niche requires less PATIENCE

I don't know if anybody noticed but these few moths especially september many affliates complain about sales been drastically decreased eventhough more traffic is been send to amazon. I also can confirm this.

My stats: last month: 142 clicks with 13 items ordered and shipped = $44
this month: 370 clicks with 19 orders and 17 shipped = $40

So there's definitely something wrong eventhough I have a well targeted site for US traffic.

To get back to the OP's question. Obviously there will be bot traffic send to amazon but if you're site is not targeted for a specific buying customers you'll have hundreds of customers who will just look but will not buy.

Maybe it is early symptom of world recession. It is almost 2018

OP what percentage of your Google Analytics traffic is bot traffic, and what is your ctr?

 

[T2tkid]

It might not be bot traffic. If you are getting 1 to 5 clicks to amazon daily, at the end of the month, it might not result to sales.
Keep working on your site, so long you are getting that clicks, it will turn to sales soon.

About 35% is bot traffic..... 7% CTR

I'm not getting daily clicks but on an avg 4-5 daily... some days 13 some days no clicks at all.... Yeah I'm aware PATIENCE IS KEY, thanks for motivation

When you guys say that you have sites up which forward visitors to amazon, are you referring to a full site or a splash page for each product?

Specific buying customers ?I'm targeting "buying" keywords... do I need to change my action plan...
