Pinterest & Amazon Affiliate (No conversion)

[RedditShop]

Hi,

I've been attracting 300 visitors a day for about a 3 days, but no conversions.
Am I doing something wrong?

Products I work with and statistics;

What is the problem?

 

[Johnhope]

I am also interested. Anyone tried it and got good results?

Are you direct linking from pinterest to Amazon.?

If it is mobile traffic from Pinterest, the link is not opening in their Amazon app.

Can you see the Geo source of that traffic?

Yes dont forget about pinterest inapp browser.
Btw i set products widget only for pc visitors and still got traffic and no conversion dont know why,its very strange.

To make a sale you should drive "Buyer Intended" traffic to Amazon. Mostly Pinterest users and just click your link on the post and then close the amazon tab after viewing the item. Their conversion rate is very low. Even for a Buyer Intended Organic Google traffic has maximum of 10% conversion rate. In Pinterest traffic this is far less than this number. You should drive thousands of traffic from pinterest to see few sales.

When you enter amazona via Pinterest, it does not open on mobile? All incoming users are mobile.
I'il try it as a computer.

Location: ABD Language: English.
Product prices are under $ 50.

What else can I do?

Pinterest traffic has very low sales conversion, have you tried adding a call to action text on image , like " buy now on amazon" ?

There is a link service that will open the Amazon app for mobile traffic. Forgot the name but there was only one when I checked.

As others said, it's the in-app browser that has rendered pinterest traffic 85%+ useless.

Are there any places you can recommend other than amazon, maxbounty and clickbank?

so wait.. trying to figure out why this would render it useless..

op makes ad. pinterest user clicks it. it stays within in-app browser. does that mean his affiliate link isn't clicked? im not understanding. shouldn't his cookie still be used no matter the browser?

Best thing is to direct them to your page, then when they click to buy/see more details, they go to amazon and you make the sale. Thats what I do.

Cookie is still used, the problem is that noone(or most people at least don't) buys through the in app browser. Its only for reading stuff basically. Download the pinterest app and try it, you'll see. You'll never enter your cc details in it. If you find an amazon product on it you like, you'll hop over to your pc or amazon app or chrome and buy it there.

So it's useless to use Pinterest with Amazon Affiliate? Or there's a way to make this successful?

OP send the traffic this way pinterest ads=>website=>Amazon link. Amazon looks at your link referral data where the orders are coming from to make sure that it matches with your list of websites.

Cookies are stored only on the browser.Amazon uses cookies to track which sale belong to which affiliate. Use desktop traffic instead.When I buy stuff online I buy through my smart TV or desktop.
