The idea is to pique interest and present related ads that will tempt the reader to click in order to learn more. Whet the appetite of your reader while still providing value.

Amazon

Amazon sells a plethora of products. Whilst the commission rate structure is fairly low (starting at 4%), the more you sell, the higher that commission rate can climb. A great way to make money via Amazon is to utilise their widgets that contain photographs. The photographs can provide a great way to entice people to buy. It is true that a photo can be worth 1,000 words. Many who use photos rather than straight text links make more money.

Another great thing about Amazon is that not only can you benefit when people buy the product you’re advertising but you can also benefit when they hop from your site to the Amazon site and buy something else. Amazon uses cookies for their affiliate programme so you can get credit for a sale of something else. You don’t have to simply work on one product, you can do contextual advertising, place specifc widgets on your site, or even direct people to your own virtual store. And for some products, such as the Kindle, there can be residual incomes. Sell someone a Kindle and make commission every time they download an e-book!
