We are about to launch a startup that aims to bring behavioral targeting to Amazon Affiliates links. Your sales will increase drastically and you will still be paid by Amazon. We do not interfere with the process, all we do is matching your affiliates links to your visitor real-life interests. We will charge a subscription fee.

Interesting, we are working on a similar product. What kind of behavioral data are you using to match interests of users with available products on Amazon? On a side note: will the subscription fee you charge be revshare based or a fixed fee per month? Why did you choose not to use your own Amazon affiliate id and thus get to a higher referral rate tier (volume advantage)? We're planning on using the increase in referral rate as a way to monetize the product.
Cool.I won't reveal implementation details here but i can tell you we will look at real-life users interests.The sub-fee will not be tied to your revs. Concisely, we chose not to use our own referral code because of the nature of the product itself, and the fact we do not think this would be transparent to Amazon.
