Pineapple Express DVD/Blu-ray

This blog is used just to sell the Pineapple Express DVD or Blu-ray through Amazon widgets. There are also other ads on the site for Amazon. The blog was advertized with Google Adwords for the "pineapple express" keyword and some other similar relevant keywords.

Blogging Performance to Date

It seems really hard to make money doing that. Amazon only pays 4% for 1-7 sales, and it goes up to 6% from 8-13, and the percentage goes all the way up to %8.5 on scaled values.

It is hard to get CPC for under $0.20 for relevant keywords. The clicks only ended up with about 2% going on to sales for that. The only item purchased cost about $20 bucks. I generated $0.80 in revenue and spent $10.50 on advertising.

It was a big lost it seems. Maybe some of the expensive items will sell within 80 clicks to make up for the losses. Some items listed cost up to $500 and the minimum is around $15. 4% of $500 would be $20, so I should sell that within $20 spent or it would really not work. It would lose money.

I am looking to these possibilities to fix the problem:

-Choose different products
- Try expensive products
- Try cheaper products
-Choose different keywords
- Try cheaper keywords
- Try expensive keywords
- Try more specific keywords

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.
