Amazon - Safe BH Conversion Percentage

Chronos · Aug 13, 2010

Hello

I'm running a blackhat website and I'm getting a conversion ratio of about .59%. Is this acceptable for Amazons Affiliate Program?

I'm aware that low percentages can get you banned from a network, but I still don't think is too bad of a conversion rate considering it's only a 24 hour cookie.

Amazon doesn't care if you have low conversions, only if the traffic is legit and you're not breaking their ToS. They only pay you when there is a sale.

Amazon is good at finding people doing BH with them... and kicking them out the door.

I wouldn't risk it

Seeing how my current conversion rate is between 60%-90%, I wouldn't dream of having such a low rate. It's just asking for a personal review.

How long have you been below 1% for?

i have expereince with moment of that when my convert reach 70%, they send me email and ask about how i can make many convert in just one day, but it will not banned you anyway

my rate is more than 100%, don't ask me how. Have been getting paid for the past 3-4 month now ...avg $300USD/m

well I get traffic that sometimes converts even less than 1%, it's targeted and whitehat, it's just because it's from youtube

(probably) never had any troubles, but it's not really a lot of money

Well, even before I started doing BH stuff, I've had a conversion rate of about 2% and they never asked questions. I didn't think a 1.5% difference would matter much, but, I'm just checking the community for some feedback.

Thanks everyone!

Why would you even bother with a website if your conversion is 0.5%? That's really poor. My conversion with Amazon is 25%.

Because it's free, automated traffic I'm bringing in.

It took me literally about 10 minutes to set up and I see about 2,000 visitors to my affiliate link a day making about ~$100 in commissions/day.

That's why I "bother"

i am reading this correctly? how did you come up with a conversion rate of more than a 100%? each visitor buys 2 or more products?
