I don't track AWS v. other Amazon income, but if I had to estimate I'd say above 20k.
Probably 1-2k over the course of the last 2 years.
Oh - thats combined (AWS and static links)...
So apart from Chris and Jesse, we don't seem to make that much...
$21.42 :)
About $700 altogether.
Seems not. I've had aws sites for a bit less than a year and only made about 3 - 4k. Some of that is from static links too. Though, I really haven't given them much weight as far as PR goes. Just a few links here and there to keep them ticking over.Quote:

Oh dear. Thanks for letting me know. I'll get on to the host.
I started last quarter, about $250.
~$400
Meh, profitable ...
We've made small profits, so we can't complain, but I can't help thinking if I had put the time I spent making all my AWS sites into making one content site...
what about other affiliate programs? Surely someone is making more one off those.
$10 so far... and a 0.59% conversion rate. Nothing shy of phenomenal.
What, datafeed affiliate programs? I tried one with ebags.com and it's hardly made anything. Again, it needs more PR. Chris has had success with his new datafeed sites. But then, he has the PR to send to them.Quote:

Well, the whole PR update was a bit weird really. A lot of unexpected drops. From what I can see, DMOZ has less PR.
what about those people at abestweb? What are they doing?
Not all of the programs at abestweb are datafeed sites. DentalPlans for example.
However, there are a few, such as zZounds.com. I think the most successful affiliate marketers there use a combination of advertising (such as AdWords for example), SEO and marketing products to their site's existing users.
Quite often the figures that are quoted, ie, "Blahblah was the top affiliate this month and made a massive $34,000" are not profit. A big proportion of that will go straight on advertising costs. So they may only make a couple thousand profit for example.
Around $500 - would have been nearly double that if a $6000 order hadnt disappeared before appearing in earnings :(
Around a coupla hundred on advertising though...
I've made $300 in my first three months. But the past month has dropped quite a bit. Most was made with one site in the first two months. Initially, google unleashed on one of my sites and for whatever reason, I was getting some great results. The traffic was incredible. I decided to capitalize on it and update the mod_rewrite, but neglected to do a custom 404 to redirect to new urls before google came back and went through hundreds of my listings. Google just started showing some love again this past week.
Have built two more sites since. Working on links now.
BTW, have been a lurker here for a while, but finally getting off my duff to post :) Feel like I know some of you guys already, have read so many of your posts!
Welcome. You've got some nice sites there. Did you design them yourself? Really nice!
Thank you. Yes, I did the design work on each. Though the the upper left part of the power tools site was inspired from a template I saw on monster templates. The script is from www.ghostscripter.com and I have modified it quite a bit and changed the mod_rewrite to my own preference.
nothing actually worth saying.. i dont pay much attetion to amazon these days
GTech, I agree with Chromate, your sites are fantastic, clean and stylish. The best I have seen.
Nintendo hire this guy and retire!
All sites went down.Quote:

Around $50 from half of last quarter on....
After the last google update I am starting to doubt these AWS sites will pay the cost of their hosting + names.
Yes great work GTech, thats how AWS should look :)
I'm getting a few clicks (just a few), but no buys; I don't get much traffic to it though as I don't really know jack squat about promoting something like this for free without possessing large sites (PR and traffic pools) to link to it.
made around $7000 since april 04, plus a few hundred more from ads on one of them.
would have been quite a bit higher if my host didn't kill 2 of the big ones just before xmas.
Why did your host kill them?
I don't know, it was a small host and they said they were upgrading and lost my sites entirely. This happened 3 different times before I moved on. I think they may have been doing it on purpose so that they could keep peoples $$$ while pushing them to leave.
the only saving grace is that I was smart enough not to have all my eggs in one basket, so when this occured it really only harmed about 1/5 of my revenue.
Sue them. Period.
> Sue them. Period.
that's MUCH nicer than what I originally planned for them :) but, the reality is fighting back just isn't worth my time. also, I knew the risk of fooling with bargain hosts and still signed up, so I really blame myself the most.
You usually agree to terms when signing up that will prevent a successful lawsuit.
Not only that, it's expensive to sue, unless you can find an attorney that will take your case pro-bono or on contingency. I found this out the hard way in 2001 when I sued a former business partner for embezzling. I lost $8000.00 in attorney fees before I finally had to just give up. Justice is available for the wealthy in the USA. It's never as easy as "I'll sue you."
Unless you're a lawyer.
Still expensive as you are spending the time you'd have spent being one of the expenses for people suing.
In the UK it doesn't have to cost a lot, as you can just go to the small claims court. The other amusing thing is, you're allowed to specify where you would like the hearing to take place. So if the company you're taking to court is based in scotland and you set the court hearing in Southend (on the south coast)... ;)
