I would like to share this idea, especially for those getting traffic but no conversion yet or not so much conversion. One thing people get wrong and right is that as long as there is traffic which is the right, then the amount of traffic should equal conversion.
While this might be true in some certain cases, it is never right cos your traffic has to be of high quality, which in this case should be people interested in your product or having one or more problems relating to your niche or chosen keyword, idea or persona. I feel bad as this is always changing my own perception of the method shared by Meathead, I'm not saying it's not working but I'm saying indirectly that there is something we are missing, those of us working with this method.
So, with that being said, you have to keep trying till you find what works for you or your niche. You have to find your own direction, this is a very viable method and the trust I have for OP and his shares, have made me put so much time on just site design, trying this method out and plan to start posting articles this weekend as it is the only free time I have.
One question though for OP and probably other like whitepassion and more that have become conversant with OP's Amazon method and Amazon itself, how viable is traffic, in terms of conversion? Cos I myself know it's not the amount of traffic but the amount of valid trust in the site and the persona behind it.
Also, how many article is too much for a day's post on a site and how relevant should one take traffic and or ranking? Reasons behind these questions, is that I try to write an article almost everyday before bed and plan on posting at weekends considering I have a 9 to 5 and I have also did some research in regards to how traffic stats to Amazon might be irrelevant cos one could get so much and if purchases are eventually made in 24hrs, commission would actually depend on what was bought, 10000 visits, 400 orders, items sold equals $600, commission might end up being $15. So, should one actually focus on ranking and let natural traffic come in hopes of sales or just stick to posting on forums.
