Has anyone else tried this on any of their websites? I tried it for a little while but didn't seem to be getting any clicks and they have to actually buy an item to earn money, I guess it depends on what your site is about and demographic audience.

I have a store front which is linked too Amazon but I have been having a issue in relation too there shipping policy, I posted a thread about this in the general advice section of this forum & I have posted in other forums too try & get a solution. I have absolutely no issue with the company who provided me with this business opportunity as they did a really good job with my website (Check My Sig).

They have also provided me the support when I needed it, Amazon really stuffed my marketing campaign as I live in a small rural area. So now I certainly can't say that they will ship all kinds of products across the glob because they won't.

If I was too say that they do ship everything across the world it would not only be misleading but unethical which I'm not going too do.

I have tried it, not much luck. Clickbank is better

One of the problems with the Amazon affiliate program is that they only have a one day tracking cookie...

I consider that too be issue as well but the thing I hate about Amazon is their shipping policy too international destinations, I had a business through eBiz-u but I had too cancel my account because I would not have been able too make a profit here in Australia. I was not only using free advertising on the net but I would have used local media in my area too promote the business.

I live in a remote area of Australia & that would have been my main marketing campaign, I was going too use the fact that people didn't have too travel for hours too a major regional centre just too get a particular product when they could have bought it online from my site. I even tried too find a alternative too Amazon without any success so in the end I had too cancel because I would have lost sales.

Not even 1 sale. So I gave up!
Clickbank is way easier to 'handle'.

Clickbank by far the better affiliate program. I have just built clickbank into my sales page. It blends in well with my other 5 residual paying programs.
