Someone over at Lynn Terry’s SelfStartersWeeklyTips forum asked, “How do you make any sales with Amazon’s affiliate program?”

For the most part I use manual product links. One strategy I’ve used is setting up a blog to promote seasonal stuff. For instance, I’ve got a Christmas gifts blog where I write about gift ideas and include links to Amazon (and other retailers).

Without any SEO efforts, this particular blog gets on average 60+ uniques per day and has a nice Christmas term at #3 in MSN which is where most traffic is coming from. This is a WordPress blog. I started out using Blogger but I find Blogger to be deficient in certain areas. In particular, I can never find a place where you can manually set sites you want to ping.

Made quite a few sales through Amazon too. Some items that are over $100 pay nice commissions. :)
