Thankful that I found this via someone else's suggestion. Great Info.
My site has been created for ~20 days so far, 38 clicks on amazon but no conversion still. Is it normal?
I think it is normal for me, hoping for better results when time passes.
Keep going. If you don't get a sale by 200 clicks then you should be getting worried.My site has been created for ~20 days so far, 38 clicks on amazon but no conversion still. Is it normal?

Just scale up the clicks and you'll see the results soon enough
I got my first sale within the first 3 clicks. It all depends on how you're lucky or if the person who clicked the affiliate is willing to spend money that day. The comission was $0.50 though![]()
I hope it doesn't have to be that bad haha, I'm just hoping for at least 1 sale before January ends.
Wow that was nice. How's you going now?

Meathead (and others, if they have Amazon experience),
With all the discussion concerning the 'advertising fee' table and to stay away from 'electronics' because of the fixed 4% fee, it might be a good idea for a small segway into what generally is considered 'electronics'. Obviously, a BluRay player would fall into that (or maybe even into the 2% 'Television products' category)... but what about a slow cooker or an elliptical machine that include electrical control panels?
I figure a bit more elaboration into how it would appear Amazon categorizes their products would be a good idea. Are 'television products' just TVs, or does that include DVD and BluRay players? What in general do they consider 'electronic products' etc
Great thread Bro - much appreciation for another great money making method that's available to the masses - all they have to do is take the initiative and take action!

Hi,Please see the following two images to see in which Amazon Department Blu-Ray stands:
See the top line in Fig 1, it says "Electronics", and also see the left-hand-side menu where the relation is clear: Blu-Ray Players fall under the Electronics Department. So...

Fig 2:

So you see, for getting the Amazon advertising fees (commission, in short) the department is Electronics Products. The second image shows you that the Electronics Department products will get you only 4% commission on each item from that department you're able to "sell"!
And...
Being a Fixed Rate Advertising Fee product category, even if you sell 3,200 BluRay players in any one month, you'll ONLY get a fixed 4% commission on those confirmed sales, and not the 8.5% commission rate as the numbers (3,200 units sold) should give you for the general category products.
P.S.:
The number of items you sell from such Fixed List category will be counted along with other General category products where you get commission according to the following table in Fig 3. But, every Fixed Rate type item will get only the Fixed rate of commission attached to its department and that total will be added to the other sub total of the commission you will get for selling the General category products (volume-based commission rate as mentioned in the following image, Fig 3):
