You are absolutely right, not until you try things on your own site will you know what will truly work and convert for you. Congratulations to your income increase that’s great!!
Currently, I’m still using EasyAzon, due to the time it saves me adding links.It’s also a great way to make sure that images and prices are always up to date using the ASIN code. I have not tried the OneLink feature. Right now EasyAzon is working really well for me.

TBH, my website relied a lot on Amazon, the latest fee structure change did affect my monthly income. I was reluctant when someone suggested me to look at Ad Network, but now, 2 months after engaging an ad network, my income grows to almost double my previous Amazon earning.
Lesson learned here: I guess we just need to test if a particular source of income will work or not for us. Don’t just assume that one will always outperform the other.
Btw, have you heard that Amazon recently launches OneLink for link localization for US, UK and Canada stores. Do you think it is worth trying or you still prefer to go with easyAzon?

Great advice, I do that as far as websites go but using 3+ affiliate programs within the same site as long as they are relevant is a great idea. The hard part is to get those numbers in reality 🙂
With this site, I now have two good affiliate programs to work with, I wouldn’t be opposed to taking on more as long as they are relevant to the site.
Hope things are going well with your site as well Derek!
Have a great week!

Great results there. So sorry to see the dent in your income from the amazon side of things but it is great how you have managed to recover that by affiliate program no 2. It is really a true testament that we all should be aiming for a multiple supplier relationships.

As trusting and time tested as amazon is the change in their commission structure really caught us all with our pants down really. Luckily, a friend of mine, a Harvard MBA Business grad, gave me some top advice on that to help me avoid this kind of issue in the future.

His advice was have 3 affiliate programs generating income divided 40% 30% 30% income distribution wise. Seems ever so simple, when one has problems – say a lack of supply of their products (out of stock) or changes in commission structure we are not so affected business and money wise.

Looking forward to next week and seeing your June results 🙂

I use mostly product links. I tried the native ads and they work ok, for this site I find the reviews and direct product links working best though.
