The Adwords was unsuccesful at conversion rates. To get 145 clicks from Adwords, it would cost at least $0.15 each for the keywords that are relavent. If the clicks could be bought for $0.05 each, then 145 clicks would cost $7.25 and 11 orders would for sure make up for that expense. The conversion of clicks from Adwords to my site and then from my site to Amazon is probably less than 50% also. This would bring the costs up to around $16 to get 145 clicks to Amazon. It would make out to be about even. There would be little profit. I would say about 60% bounce after visiting it. It is difficult to obtain $0.05 clicks from Adwords, however. If I were to stuff tens of thousands of keywords and bid $0.05 Max Cost-per-click, then it could profit. Note: A lot of the 145 clicks did not come from Adwords for this experiment. I placed ads on several of my websites and Facebook applications.

Campaign Update

An Amazon sale of $140.00 just went through and it is up to 5 items ordered so far. I have invested $27 into advertising to date and the commissions from Amazon should be around $10-15. This is still a loss, but probably mostly from the earlier few days before optimization of the ad campaigns were completed. The ads showing now are only costing about $2-3/day with about 10-15 clicks. There are many impressions for lower cost max CPCs, but not many of them yet received clicks. This needs to be left for the long term to see if it profits or not. If it returns any profit at all (ROI), then they will remain. The ads should be adjusted accordingly to help optimize these campaigns.



Also, Ads were placed on my Quiz Apps from Facebook. There will be about 500-800 impressions per day for these Ads. This seems as though it would out-perform the SocialMedia ads that were there previously. The SocialMedia ads seemed to take a real plummet over the last several months. It is averaging out to less than $0.01 per click for earnings with a low CTR. That is unacceptable. It would not even be worth placing the ads there at all.



Details of this experiment will be posted back here every few days. Be sure to check back.


Amazon - Developer Resources & Featured Solutions



Developer Resources

Here are a few highlights and new additions to our Developer Resource Center.

Making Secure Requests to Amazon Web Services
Ensuring the integrity of requests to our APIs is of the utmost importance to AWS, as is maintaining your trust and confidence. This article provides detailed information about making secure requests: 1. Always use SSL-protected API endpoints. 2. If you are not using SOAP, use Signature Version 2, a new method for signing requests for Amazon SQS, Amazon SimpleDB, and Amazon EC2. These methods will be required as of September 30, 2009 so we urge you to read this article and migrate your applications as soon as possible.

Security is always a nice feature to have built into a system.

Manager for Amazon CloudFront
A Windows application for uploading files to Amazon S3 and distributing them through Amazon CloudFront.

Easy to use?

Stock Quote Example: Using Amazon SQS for Scale
This article shows how Amazon Simple Queue Service can be used to build a highly reliable, highly scalable application.

Interesting article.


Featured Solutions

Check out what your peers have built with AWS. These solutions include interesting web applications built on top of AWS as well as tools that help you integrate with AWS.

Vembu
Vembu StoreGrid's online backup software now supports AWS. Now you can start an Online Backup Service with your backup server running on Amazon EC2 and using Amazon S3/EBS for storage.

I am assuming this is not fast to access as it is aimed for back-up.

RunMyProcess
RunMyProcess delivers a cutting edge and ergonomic "BPM as a service" platform, enabling rapid SaaS integration and workflow applications design.

Business Process Management as a Service?

Dropbox
Dropbox is a desktop file sharing tool that makes it easy to store, sync, and share files online. Dropbox automatically backs-up files to Amazon S3 and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

This is nothing new except that it automatically backs up files to Amazon S3.

Amazon Anouncements

Anouncement/Response


EC2 Crosses the Atlantic
Developers and businesses can now run their Amazon EC2 instances in the European Union (EU) to help achieve lower latency, operate closer to other resources like Amazon S3 in the EU, and meet EU data storage requirements when required. The new European Region for Amazon EC2 contains two Availability Zones enabling you to easily run fault-tolerant applications with the same scalability, reliability and cost efficiency achieved with Amazon EC2 in the US.



The servers offered by Amazon sound very appealing for companies. I personally do not have enough traffic.



Public Data Sets
AWS has announced the availability of public data sets hosted in Elastic Block Store (EBS), part of Amazon EC2. These data sets are available for free, with only EC2 runtime charges for accessing and using the data. The first data sets come from various biology, chemistry, and economic sources.



This information could be very valuable to do scientific research. This data could highlight trends in human behavior in order to make some prediction on what will happen.



Requester Pays Option for Amazon S3
Amazon S3 has released the Requester Pays feature that makes it easy and cost-effective to share data stored in Amazon S3. You can now configure a bucket to bill the requester, rather than the bucket owner, for both request and bandwidth fees. Also, when used in conjunction with Amazon DevPay, you can sell access to data stored in Amazon S3 either as a subscription or by marking up individual request fees.



This is not really applicable to me as I do not get nearly enough traffic to even slow down my own server running through DSL.



New SQL-like SELECT API for Amazon SimpleDB
To make it even easier to get started with SimpleDB, the SimpleDB team has released the SELECT API, which is very similar to the SQL syntax. The introduction of this query option allows developers to quickly become productive using the web service without sacrificing the intrinsic benefits of the SimpleDB model: scalability, flexibility, and high availability.



This is interesting. It reminds me of Facebook's FQL.



Featured Case Study: Channel Intelligence
In commercial applications, automated subjective intelligence is neither cheap nor easy to implement. Using Amazon Mechanical Turk, Channel Intelligence was able to leverage human intelligence around the globe and decrease task-specific costs by 85%. Read the full story.



It is always good to share intelligence!

Popular Baby Toys Blog

I was playing around with the Amazon Affiliates Program and made a blog about baby items. This was just an experiment to see if it makes money. I am investing a dollar a day for Ads on Adwords by Google targeting the "baby toys" keywords. I'm going to let this sit there for about two months (max. $60) to see if I make at least the same or more from the Amazon Product links.
