AWS - Digital Cameras Update

**mobilebadboy** · 05-05-2004, 10:01 AM

If you run an AWS site that deals with digital cameras, you may want to check your links. I was finishing off some mod_rewrite, checking my links, and realized that they've dropped a couple or more areas (advanced point & shoot, simple point & shoot and some others). Not sure how long they've been dropped but I don't think it's been too long, as I went through the site in the last week or so.

They also added 6 Megapixels & Up. So 5 MP and Up is now 5.0 to 5.9 MP.

Makes me wonder how many Adwords visitors came looking for what was on the now dead browse nodes.

So annoying. They really need to provide a way to retrieve active nodes (last I checked, it wasn't possible).

mobilebadboy, do you use adwords with your aws site? If so, how does it perform?

I run Adwords with the cam site off and on, maybe 2 or 3 times a week just to get some traffic to it. I've only had 2 sales so far (one person), but it gets a nice amount of traffic. I just got over 500 pages of it indexed in Google a week or so ago, and I just finished getting the site completely mod_rewritten so I'm hoping Google will come back soon, and that will help the site.

When I start making a little more money I'll probably increase the advertising for it. On a tight budget I'm having to rotate the Adwords around to different sites.

But that site's only a couple of weeks old, so I'm not expecting much right from the start.

They've removed Ultracompact Cameras and added 4x Optical Zoom & Up.

I use adwords with my AWS sites and one of my sites that does about 60-75 sales per month (around 400-600 uniques per day) I also make around $14-$20 per month on adsense. Not alot, but it contributes to my overall adsense earnings nicely for a site that requires very little attention.
