Amazon Associates Earning

This Month Total: $1,027.98
Last Month Total: $715.01
Difference: +$312.97



This is the best month for me, for the first time I hit the $1,000 mark. There is a few reasons behind this result:

• My main site that I will refer to as Site A are continuously getting good traffic from referring site. However this site is still not getting much traffic from Google. It increasing to have a significant traffic from Yahoo and Bing though.

• A few of my niche sites that I built using premium ReviewAzon wordpress plugin are getting traffic from Google and the conversion is quite good for this month.

• There is also a good flow of traffic for my articles and ads at third party site that I'm using. And this month conversion is quite good too.
