One of the oldest affiliate programs (affiliate programs), with one for years – even as a small website operators – make money with online advertising money is our Amazon affiliate program (amazon Associates). As an Amazon affiliate, you put links to Amazon on your website.
These links can be coupled advertising out of the text or a banner or similar – the stickers you can be a partner from Amazon of all sizes to be generated, which is very simple. Then copy the code and paste it into your website to the desired location in the source code. Click a customer to one of these links, he ends up on Amazon – depending on what they have chosen, on a product page, search page, action page, etc. If the user purchases after clicking on the Amazon, then you get a commission.
The commission amount is capped, however, and the percentage of the fee increases phased (the higher the turnover, the higher the percentage of the commission) – ie, successful, heavily visited sites are particularly rewarding. The income you get hot, referral fees and advertising costs reimbursement. You can as an Amazon partner on individual products, special pages, search results, or any other site link on Amazon.
You can create (banner) links and widgets, such as self-updating banners, carousels, slide shows, recommendations, search results, with an integrated search box, and much more. You can also create an independent online store of Amazon products and integrate into your website.
In my experience as small Web site operators to Amazon is a very pleasant advertiser. You can choose what and how it applies – are constantly added new products and developing new advertising medium, which can incorporate and thus bring some variety to your pages can. The statements are clear and the payments reliably.
Nevertheless, I have the impression that it is increasingly difficult to make money with the Amazon partnership money – but that is possibly subject-and competitive-dependent (I used to, for example, a pioneer in the garden, money and health issues, today, the competition is very high ).
You also have to care quite a bit of work / time to invest to keep the advertising on all sides fairly up to date. Positive is that you can now buy almost anything on Amazon and so apply for website operators and customers in that Amazon has a good reputation and who are happy to buy everything on a platform to be able to.
Positive are the many attractive promotional material and statistics, with which one can analyze what works and what does not. However, I notice that the site visitors are not of the great advertising so impressed, as I do: click on favorite links hand-picked songs that go great with the theme – and the install and keep up to date, makes a lot of work.
