I have this website since 2008 that I maintain without making any cent. I have thrown away more than a hundred domains in the last 3 years but I kept this one among others for some reason. The site was earning with adsense before but since my account got suspended 3 years ago, I never tried doing adsense again. I placed clickbank ads (targeted niche ad) since late 2009 and until this month I never made a single sale even though the site is ranking on second page on an extremely competitive niche.

3 days ago I decided to remove all clickbank ads from its 37 posts. Today, I checked my tracking ID and I saw $48.98 with 21 sales. Sweet!! It's not a big amount but considering that the site was not making anything for more than 2 years is something notable.

Considering that the niche is weight loss, I never made a single sale with CB promoting high-gravity products through this page. I am just happy and surprised how Amazon converted almost 50% of its visitors to buy vitamins and health supplements...

So don't be sad if Adsense or Clickbank is not helping you. Amazon is always there to turn your traffic into money!

  • I think the real takeaway here is not that AdSense and Clickbank are necessarily "bad," or that Amazon is "good," but that everyone needs to test extensively -- especially if things don't seem to be working.

    • Yes, I never said that both are bad as I still have some sites that are doing well with CB. I think it's just compatibility. I posted this just to give other people options on how to make things work when something is not working. I'm just surprised with the result and the quick turnaround.

  • Yeah, congratulations. I find that Amazon, most of the time, converts traffic A LOT better than Clickbank and most other affiliate sites. I just can't give Amazon the time of day because of their tiny commissions. :p

    It can be a GREAT money maker though if someone built about 10 amazon sites and kept them all up in the SERPS.

  • I guess I would go with Amazon, it's real useful products, while clickbank has lots of crappy stuff on it. But I guess once you know how to promote one, you know how to promote the other too.
  • Ever since the amazon tax changes and tax threats my amazon sales have plummeted...
  • Did you ever try promoting the product Six Pack Shortcuts by Mike Chang? People rave about that product, and during certain times of the year, it's all over the net -- places like Youtube and beyond. I just checked out the affiliate page, and it seems to pay out well also.

  • "Amazon is always there to turn your traffic into money" ... yeah, until they ban your account for making too much money.

    Selling On Amazon.com Sucks !

    • The link has nothing to do with Amazon Associate Program. Losers are always everywhere and the owner of that link (whoever he is) is the biggest loser.
