amazon affiliate is still worth it ?

It's still worth it because there are so many "best XXX" keywords out there with low to no competition PLUS Amazon is the biggest shopping platform in many markets so that 1 day cookie can lead to quite a bit of sales.

May I ask the average monthly searches of those low/zero competition KWs?
Because based on my experience, those KWs have less than 200 searches per month and are scattered in different topics, which cannot be combined into a niche site.

im doing ok with it. im moving into an uncharted part of amazon affiliate
 
Still got potential but think of it this way even if your site is receiving the traffic there are other ways to monetize that traffic too

Always best to see what your competitiors are doing

Of course margin is low. but it depends on how you run the campaign.. Still huge affiliates are working on it..
 
Just use other affiliate programs with higher payouts like 30-50%, fuck Amazon and their piss commission.

indeed but like what ? do you have any good programs ?
 
I would say it is not worth it. They cut the commission down to very low levels (https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/node/topic/GRXPHT8U84RAYDXZ). Unless you are in the beauty department where it is 10% I wouldn't bother (products there are cheap also..). The cut was not due to pandemic, Amazon made record revenues last year. It's permanent and there is a big risk they will completely cut off affiliates.

Competition is hard and you can get banned by Amazon for random bullshit and then you are left with a site with no products to sell unless you start dropshipping which I would suggest instead of Amazon.

SEO costs so much nowadays also that I just don't see the value in putting in so much time, money and hoping for something that is not rewarding and can be taken from you at any time.

If you do want to go with physical products you can make Amazon site and see which products sell the best and then dropship them yourself with way higher margins.
 
Upload your bank documents to become verifed on empire flippers, unlock affiliate listings and see for your self.
 
Just a heads up as well @debaakram1 that the Amazon cookie window is actually only 24 hours.
Additionally, there is a plugin I believe that will provide you with a 90 day cookie, but it only works on that individual product that has been added to the cart.
 
I would recommend to switch to individual companies affiliate.

Amazon nowdays have high competition with 1-3% commission..
