Ride it a bit longer. Its a low time for conversions at this moment. See what you ave over 10 days - 30 days. Right now you have 2 days worth of data. . that sample doesn't tell you much of anything.
Yeah I'm gonna give it a couple weeks atleast. Then maybe try adsense. Then possibly try their affiliate program direct, with some trickery, as talked about here:

Well I got impatient and switched to adsense. Adsense was only making about $8/day, and the same day I switched to adsense, the next day (when amazon reports show), I made a sale on a $3000+ product, which means my commission will be $200+. And yesterday a $700 product. So Amazon is the best bet. Only thing better would be direct with the company, but who knows how much better. As the $700 product was a competitor's product.
Hopefully I can make about $1000 in the next month, and put it on Flippa and get a nice chunk for it.

Thanks, yeah it's nice this small project turned into something. I sat on the domain for a long time, glad I pursued it. What's cool is that I thought Amazon only offered 4%, but it can go up to something like 8% depending on how many items people buy. And I didn't know people buy so many small little things. I already moved up to 6.5% in a week, and should hit 7% by end of the month and hopefully 7.5% next month. My first time actually doing affiliate marketing.
Keep in mind they reset the % each month. Dirty trick from Amazon. Personally I already wanted to give up on affiliate / amazon marketing but with your proof to make such big commisions it might be interesting afterall. All my sales have been like $1 comission while most of my products cost more then $100,- but I'm in the furniture niche and I think that just sells bad online.

in europe we have anyway a max commission of 10E per sale...so even it the poduct you sell ist 1xxxx
i sell as well but i n general i think we are quite cheap for amazon in and in short time they will be so clever and powerful that we stand here with our shitty amazon pages and earn nothing and amazon will say thank you idiots for making us number 1.

You can promote Amazon US as well, the cashout procedure is a bit harder though. You could sign up for a UK citibank account, they allow you to clear cheques for free and from there you can transfer it to your Paypal. In my country (holland) it costs about 80 euro to cash a $100 cheque. No I'm not joking.
Yeah I'm getting like 10 (small) sales a day though, so it should be able to get back up there. I'm still shocked people buy so many non targeted things through my link.
Shit, sure hope amazon dont have some cap on it.

Its because Amazon is extremely good at upselling, and putting relevant product offers with your product.

Nice to be ranking and getting that traffic. I use to use twitter for amazon traffic, but it seems to be to much spam there now a days. SO any tips on amazon traffic are welcomed.
