Haha totally feel both of you right now, been refreshing for hourssss.. One of my site had a nice amount of visits yesterday and ranks are all way up for two sites thanks to the update I guess.
Can't wait
I generated a revenue of $136k last year (=$9,5k for me) and they banned me without giving reasons. There is no decent support or anything.
Luckily I got paid before they banned me (via checks). But be careful with high amounts, even if your methods are full white hat.

Hey, just simply spreading some fear doesn't do us any good, especially for those who just started (like me). At least, try to explain what you've done and what you think that got you banned.
Basic affiliate marketing with amazon stores and product lisitings on my websites. Nothing special. I don't want to spread fear. The affiliate program worked very well on my smaller websites. Maybe they banned me because I complained about the bad support there, lol. I generated $136k revenue in 1 Month and I've got stupid autoresponse mails on my questions.

Just assume that you won't get banned. Carry out your operations according to the legit danny way. If you ever get banned. Don't worry, you can get everything backup and running in less than a day.
You need to have sites that are generating traffic though. Essentially thats all that really matters. If you really want to be prepared. Setup another account to your "friends" address or something, and have that as your one in the chamber.
Now less of the fear mongering! Get back to work ya skiving gits!

Yeah I really Hate when people get banned from Amazon and they bitch and moan about it - and complain they did nothing wrong.
It's like any Affiliate Program - Honestly they make money when you make money - so they have a vested interest in you doing well ... But they don't need Junk Traffic/Spam/Cookie Stuffing or other stuff that makes them look bad.
Who knows what really is happening with these people - I don't -- I don't know their sites nor them personally - so rather than guess I have always filled the thread with things that I do know.
Honestly take these things at Face Value and Just Make Good Sites with Good Content and your going to go along way ---> I know this is a BH Forum -- but BH and Amazon don't go together.
Have a good day today guys -- cheers.

what is your average earning these days danny ?
My earnings have grown from $20ish a day to $130 ish a day - But my number of Sites has grown as well... Ive gone from 20 to 75 (which includes some Magento Sites)
There is no way to start amazon today and hit that daily number in a few months using Search only - there is so much learning and refining you have to do to get your sites right and get stable rankings .. it's fairly easy to hit $20 a day but going above that you got to really grasp the whole business concept.
(Unless you have some other method of course - I'm just referring to relying on mainly Search Traffic)

Just a quick noob question... I am wondering how would be better to add another site and have the same hosting plan.
Would be ok to make an addon domain on the initial host plan / create a folder for his content and msql and redirect the main addon domain to the /folder.
Is this going to look spammy to google ? How to add the second domain and be ok for SEO reasons .. Thank you for your time Danny!

75 sites dang. Do a lot of those sites perform poorly, since on average w/ those kind of earnings each site would be making about $1.7/ day, which is low. Are any of those authority sites? What are the quality of the reviews like, for example do you kind of cookie cut the reviews or do you spend some quality time sifting through the actual customer reviews on the product to make your own?
I found that if you take great care in them and put your face out there so the visitors get to know you a bit better, like the ladies at only-cookware.com (i heard they make 10k/ month mostly from that site), that it makes all the difference. Lastly, what's your best bounce rate on some of your sites?

well i start my amazon journey before 2 months following Dani steps .Start with 6 sites premium themes many pictures and videos i mix articles reviews/from natashanixon/ with broad articles for more traffic, use contextual links ,basic seo no spam and i have good traffic for new sites.But what i note ? my conversion rate e is very poor 0,3% 1200 clicks maybe i missing something any advise
you forget 32 sites make all the money - 18 are new being seasoned and earning just small amounts - and the rest are Magento that suck. So for what I have I'm at my benchmark of $100 a month per site -- as the newer sites get older they will make more money.
All the other questions I already answered.... I don't really understand one of the questions - Sites don't sell the same amount every month - they go up and down as they become popular and not popular or certain shopping periods.... People don't buy $1500 Pumps in the Middle of Winter For example.
I don't make sites on electronics -> blu-ray players -- got no idea.
If your conversion rate is 0.3% - you have a problem with your Site - as to me that seems almost impossible to be doing that badly.
