Generally the returns are mostly the results of items not linked by you but that users had in their cart. Some even order multiple variants of the same product and keep one returning the rest. The other one is for products that have a high return rate, amazon warns if you are logged in amazon aff and browse the product url. No way to automate that so far.

Quick question. Do you do automated keyword research before creating a post so its better targeted with keywords or just feed the main keyword?

I just targeting products i want to have on my site, don't check for keywords in any tools, because for affiliate sites it's very hard to rank not long tail keywords.

What about creator connections product picking? Do you automate it in any way or its manual?

No it's all manual. I haven't automatized and optimized everything, this is just my side gig. If everything will pickup at least 3k per month will invest more time.

Nice journey, you don't have to rely only on organic traffic. You can generate traffic from social media pages or run ads.

Yes i know, but i want to be as more passive as possible in the feature, so trying to rank on search engines.

Nice, how many ranking sites so far?

One thing worth flagging on your traffic split: DuckDuckGo and Yahoo both take their web results from Bing's index, so what reads as three sources is really one. but other than that very impressive results I ran amazon with pinterest and made no money but scaled pinterest accounts to millions of impression but keep going.

i know, i also trying to rank on google, but for me it's way harder now. I'm collecting some traffic but not so much.

One thing is ranking, the other thing is generating traffic and sales.
All sites are indexed, but new ones not generating much traffic so far. For example if sites generates 10-20 visitors per day, so the sale can be 1 in a week or so...
For example this site is picking up

This one running steady:


this one so for not going well but you never know
