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.
