Just wondering,

Yes,

But from my expirences, amazon products are not a big seller...

Yeh. I would tend to agree.

Though I think it depends on how you market the products. And also what products you're selling.

For example, a 15% of a $10 book $1.50. Really not all that much at all. It's the same a a couple of good adsense clicks. I do wonder if it's worth it.

I guess if your site is about a specific book or range of products and you're expecting a fair few sales, then it's probably worth it.

Dunno. I've not used it myself. I kind of always thought that the return's not worth the effort of getting users to buy their stuff.

I'm sure there're loads of instances where I'm wrong though. Chris's sites in particular (coupons / OL) probably do very well off Amazon.

You're allowed to use reviews if they are attributed to Amazon.com

Well

Thanks guys. The aim for this is to grab the content and optimise my pages more rather than selling the books. I'm actually trying to sell another product :)

Thanks
