    Profitable AWS sites...

    I'd like for everyone to list any of their AWS sites that earn over 100 dollars a month. I just want to take a look at them and try to learn why and how they became that profitable; as you can probably assume, I suck at making money

    Thanks.

    None of my aws sites make over $100 a month. The reason is, I completely neglect them. The best way to turn them into nice earners is to pump them full of PR. Unfortunately, I don't have enough to go around as I send it to my more profitable sites.

    Unless you have a decent amount of PR, a very big AWS site or an existing site to tag the AWS onto, I just wouldn't bother with it anymore. Personal opinion though.

    Please hijack my thread rather than using PMs, Silex.

    Okay, so general idea is: pump them fulla PR and make lots of them if you plan to earn ANY money?
    Any other things I should know?

    If the pages are well optimized, then I don't think so

    Flood your store with back-links. Make a ton of AWS stores.

    Yes, you get what you pay for.

    Last quarter I made $745.93 just by doing nothing!!

    Tips: Use the real thing. Don't use the cheepo stuff out there.

    Or I could just use a script that's already SE-friendly, or just write my own and not have to give you any money.

    Could this statement be any more contradictory?

    Are there any tips you guys can think of to improve the conversion ratio?

    My conversions went up when I removed product pages, and just had the products in categories linking straight to Amazon (see www.buysport.net for an example). However, I know others have had different results, but this works for me (that sport site was making sales within a week, something my other AWS stores never did - except another one which I use a similar system for).

    The faster you can get visitors to Amazon the better. Though no product pages= Way less store pages of yours that can get indexed in Google.

    Don't give Amazon any back-links!

    You may as well not pass loads of PR to Amazon. I use the no-follow thing for my 'Buy Now' links, which I believe means you dont pass PR to the linked-to page.

    Edit: I thought I did, it appears I use forms for the links, must have been thinking of something else. Anyway, if you were using standard links, you could use no-follow thing to prevent passing PR to Amazon.

    Learn a little about Search engines, back-links, and PR!! Last thing we want is Amazon at #1 for every thing. I got over 1,000,000 AWS URLs indexed in Google, and not a single URL has links to the index page of Amazon. They invented redirects for a reason, use it!!! Each domain gives Amazon ONE back-link, the URL that re-directs to Amazon.

    Total back-links from all sites: Maybe 25 instead of over a million.
