Hello friends,

After nearly 2 years, Few days ago I was able to rank #1 position for a some 5000/month search volume buyer intent keyword in the computer niche. Now I'm getting 50-60 clicks in my amzn affiliate account per day. But it did not make any sales at all. I dunno why even though I've ranked #1 position and it is a buyer intent keyword.
Is there any specific reason for this? At least I should get some non related sales because of the 24hr cookie policy.

Most affiliate sites are shaving. Best way is sell your own products/drop-ship. You will make up to 10 times more vs amazon affiliate.
 
Are all of your clicks Geo targeted? For instance, you have a USA affiliate account, but if all of your clicks are coming from the UK you will not make a penny. Have you made your 3 qualifying sales? If so, check your traffic location and add amazon locations and onelink accordingly.

almost all the traffic are from USA.
I have another affiliate site and I'm already making some money from it from the same affiliate account. Only the clicks from this site does not make any sale.

If someone registers from Germeny and get clicks or sales from Italy. Won't he get paid? If not why?
Is there any rule for this?

You can register "from" any country you like, unless there are countries that Amazon do not allow. (Not something I know about though). So if you live in Germany you can set up an account, however you need to know where your traffic is coming from.

If you set up your Store ID to be based in Germany, only sales coming from that country will be converted and paid. You can set up store IDs for any country on their list, all of them at once if you like, however they audit each store ID and location separately with their 3 sales in 180 days policy and close them accordingly.

Do you have both domains registered with Amazon?

Have you checked all your Amazon links through the affiliate page link checker?

That means, we need to create new store/tracking Id for several countries? :( Or,we can create a single affiliate link accepting all countries traffic?

yes and all are fine.

Actually site is ranking on the 4th place and 0th place which means the featured snippet. Yet it gets 50-60 clicks per day and 0 sales. That's my issue. :(

Perhaps look at your sales pitch?
 
Just be patient. Sometimes you'll have some days with zero orders, especially at only 50-60 clicks volume.

Yes. So you need to set up a store ID for each country that you are targeting, and it will be a different suffix for each country. For example, chamrox - 20 for US, chamrox - 21 for UK. Then you use onelink to connect them to give you geolocating.

Could you please elaborate? :)

When you sign up with a store ID, example; chamrox - 20, they will give you 180 days to make 3 sales. They then have a person look at your website to make sure that you are inline with their TOA and approve or decline your application.

if you open a US account today, your 180 days start today. If you then open a UK account in 1 week, the 180 days for the UK account will start from that day and you will have 173 days left on the US ID.

If your 180 days run out without sales it will close that ID only.

I hope that makes sense

Below question is out of the scope of the original question;
what if my US account got approved by a sale within 180 days, and I couldn't make a sale within 180 in the UK account? Does only the UK account get close or it affects the both US and UK accounts?
 
How many clicks total do you have without a sale? It is very strange if real American people are clicking to not get 1% conversion on random sales. Could be fake clicks. I would change my links to some link shortener to track the IP addresses clicking to make sure it's real people from American IP addresses and also that it is unique clicks and not the same IP clicking repeatedly. Also lets you track the time of clicks etc. Pretty links works for me for this.
 
Btw can this have any relationship with Good Friday and Easter Sunday? If so hopefully sales will be make after Monday.
 
The magic question… what niche is going to kill it, there is literally millions of answers to this, but of course some are more popular than others. but no matter what product you pick its all about your marketing, advertising, SEO, blogging, expertise, passion etc. Even with the best product if you are not savvy online you will struggle to sell it. So do your own research and find something you connect with as a product or interest, not just a money making item.

Shopify is a great place to start there training and support is great. This is a link to a blog they released on trending products.
 
Hello, Firstly, don’t go into affiliate marketing thinking it’s quick, easy money. It’s a long process which requires a lot of effort for the minimum returns, especially if you’re driving traffic through SEO.

You need to put out a lot of valuable content that is genuinely interesting and helpful to your target audience. As for conversion rates, this depends on your website, your target audience, the product, and the overall customer journey.

If your 180 days run out without sales it will close that ID only.

You will only lose the IDs that don't make the sales
