Sure some of the tools are a little quirky, but if you are a developer, they really give you all the tools you need to make sales. I think Amazon Associates is still the best.

They do reply within three days but their answers are INANE. They do not make sense. It's like they don't even bother reading your concern, they just blather useless, mindless, worthless information. One time they asked me to send them "information they requested" but they didn't even ask for anything at all. Amazon Associates has the world’s most useless customer service.

Amazon gives you only a 24 hour window for your referal to buy a product. after which you get nothing. 80% of people will not buy within 24 hours. I am experimenting with some of the best books on amazon and i am getting a lot of click throughs. I am also sure many people will actually buy something from them but not within 24 hours. That my 6% gone and amazon gets a new customer Rememeber, the hardest part for amazon is earning a new paying customer. Once it does that, it will make a lot more through the lifetime of the customer. In an ideal world, i would get a commission amount through out the lifetime of the customer i refer. Unfortunately, i am just sending amazon free traffic, and making nothing for myself. A http://www.lucky-six.blogspot.com You are missing a bigger point why amazon isnt doing well for most people.

I get so dang frustrated at how many hoops I have to jump through just to get a product link. If you want to use one of their widgets, it's a breeze. But when you want a link for an individual product, it's a royal pain. I for one, like the income generated from Amazon Associates but I couldn’t agree more about the link building.
