Or Amazon Associates is their very own affiliation program for promoting their products as well as the company. I came about this while surfing another weblog and was actually quite impressed. I can’t compare the impact of this against Adsense since Google has monopolized the online ad campaigns from my opinion.
However, here are my reasons why I might find Amazon Associates better than Adsense:
- Amazon Associates come with an image of the book.
- People always look at books then the price.
- Focused content blogs are like books.
- Don’t have to disguise the ad in an entry.
- Amazon pays by cheque, direct account or gift certificates.
I know a lot of you might not agree with me on how Amazon works better, but would your conscience ever bug you that you’re prying money from the mistakes of your fellow visitors when implementing Adsense? Yes, I know sometimes you can’t be honest in gaining funds but I’d prefer being honest than quiet.
There are different ways of enticing your readers into clicking ads by their own will. For my Amazon ads, I’d maybe title it “My Recommendations” or “Amazon Interests”. To me, that’s promoting as well as trying to be honest whilst gaining funds from my readers. If you’re interested in becoming an Amazon Associate, find out HERE.
In the end, me as a single blogger won’t make a difference in the blogosphere but I’d rather keep on doing good than spoil myself being bad in the future.
if amazon affiliate works, it is easier money than Adsense. However, I can’t get it work for my blog site… I wonder if it work at blog sites or not.. :/
I just signed up for the service. Now going to wait for at least 3 business days and see if the application is approved. :)
Cheers.
