Amazon Affiliates Update
Thu, 17 November, 2005 – 12:56 am
I've made 2 sales in 2 days on Amazon Affiliates, selling the Swish Max Bible. I read up on the help section of the affiliates area and found out on the Performance Fee Plan you earn 5% minimum (which increases with sales) and then 2.5% on top of direct link referrals. I thought this is what I had set up, using the text links option on Building Links. However not so. I've discovered now, and this is really useful for Amazon affiliates only, under Product Links, choose your product then go to Basic display over enhanced (I think you click the customise link first to display this).nnWhy choose basic? Well the Enhanced display uses an iframe to display both the product, title and price. Great for a real update however the iframes are ignored by spiders and they are blocked by Norton's Firewall/Advert blocker - as that's what I run! Whereas the basic links are always visible, adds just a little more content and is viewable by all.nnSo now when I get an order it should be the 7.5% amount, which is much nicer! I've also added the Flash software option as the Swish software I had linked is only available via Amazon Canada and didn't actually work (which I only just realised). I know Flash is far more costwise but I'm lost of choice really. One sale of Flash would net me £15 - which would be very nice!
