Amazon Associates income for July 2015 and some new findings

My July earnings has been disappointing. I was hoping to break through the $500 mark, but it did not happen. I earned less in July than in June. My earnings for July was $416.32, down from $467.42 in June. See image. What noticed is that I did not sell much less items in July compared to June. In July I sold 211 items and in June 218. That is only 7 items less. So then I went to have a look at the items sold in June. There where a couple of high ticket items sold and I did not have any high ticket sales in July. So I think it was just plain bad luck for July. In July I only build 7 websites compared to 23 in June. Part of the reason is that I was on holiday for 8 days in the beginning in the month and … Continue Reading →

My Amazon Earnings for March 2015

There was a big increase in earning from February and I am very positive about my future earning from Amazon again. More on that shortly. My earnings for March is $536.56. This is a good increase from Feb $371.66. What makes the earnings from March special is that it was earned from de-indexed websites in Google. When I look at my analytics I see the earnings came from Bing and Yahoo. It is as if the traffic from Yahoo and Bing is increasing, which is good. Bing and Yahoo have simmilar rules to Google so I think it will be only a matter of time before they also de-index these website. But for now I am enjoying the income. 🙂 It is as if the other search engine are more friendly or they take longer to act. And this seems to be longer than 12 month which gives my websites … Continue Reading →

Amazon Earnings for January 2015 and De-indexing

My January Amazon earnings is much lower than December, but not as low as what I was expecting. My earnings where $555.39. There are 2 big reasons for the drop in earnings. The first is that the shopping season has passed and the second is that All My Amazon Store Websites are de-indexed! There is about 230 of them. Most of the website were de-index about the beginning of the year. I can see in the analytics that the traffic from Big G stopped about 1 January. This was a huge shock to me, but I know why it happened. All these store websites scrape content from Amazon. So it is duplicate content and a big no-no to Big G. I was relieved to see that some of my websites had good traffic from Bing and Yahoo and this is where my traffic came from. The websites have not been … Continue Reading →

Amazon Earnings for December 2014

The earnings for December has been die best to date at $932.93. This was expected as December months are always the best month for Amazon associates. Here is an image of my December 2014. I am very grateful for earning this money from Amazon. The exitement came to an end in the second week of the New Year when I noticed that 90% of my websites are de-indexed by Google. This was always a risk as I knw my Amazon stores do not follow Google rules. The one big rule that my Amazon Store websites are breaking is that all my pages are all dublicate content of Amazon. Google will de-index website that scrape content from other websites to publish. I have not build anymore websites since as I need to find a way to rewrite the descriptions of the items on each page. This will take very long to … Continue Reading →

Amazon Earnings for November 2014

This post is late regarding my Amazon earnings, but it has been a busy month. I am now on holiday, so I have all the time now. It has been another record month for me with earnings of $704.00 for November.     I am at an referral rate of 7.00% but missed the 7.5% by 38 items. December should be another good month because of Christmas shopping. My focus has been auto spares the last 3 months and I don’t think many Christmas shopping will be done in this category. In 2015 I will diversify more. The goal of building 120 websites in 120 days will be a huge fail. The reason is that my focus has been on Lns and all my funds available to buy domains went into building my Lns shopping network. The return on investment at Lns is going to be slower than my Amazon … Continue Reading →

My Amazon August Month Earnings and New Goal

My Amazon earnings for August is in. I made $516.60.   I am happy with it, but I have learned a new lesson. You cannot set a goal and then stop. You must have one goal set after another otherwise you are not growing. My earnings have been stagnant for 2 months now, because I stopped building Amazon websites as I did when I had my 90 websites in 90 days challenge. One big positive in this down time was that I did an assessment of website performance and it was very interesting. I found my most profitable theme. I need to do some more testing before I tell the world, but it could mean that I can make more money from less websites in the future or in other words more money from each money making website. It is important to me to make more than $12 per year … Continue Reading →
