My Amazon links make about 1/1000th of that my Google links make; my Google links pay enough to cover costs on my blog and buy me a meal out a couple of times a year.

Admittedly ad placement is part of this but I've used Amazon book links where there are large amounts of people coming to a site with a particular interest - I've researched and picked out good books for that interest but nearly nobody bites (or Amazon aff links are not working?!).

Thanks for this, very useful info. I've been gunshy about Google, because I want everything on my page to be something I endorse, and I don't want Scientology or activist groups or make money online scams getting onto my site when I talk about religion or government or wealth.

But yes, Amazon hasn't performed for me, and I've tried to make it work. Short, snappy posts with Amazon link - nothing. Extremely long, detailed posts with obscure but really good books - nothing. For a while, I thought I'd be patient with it, but it's almost to the point where it's not worth the screen real estate.

Anyway, thanks for the insight. I wanted to drop you a line but no info in your profile - email me?
