Hubpages Great for Amazon Affiliates

The Amazon Affiliate Program is one of the affiliate programs that Hubpages works directly with to provide a money making outlet for it's writers, along with Google Adsense and Ebay.  In fact there are many people on Hubpages who are making more money on the Amazon Affiliate Program than they are on Google Adsense.

Both affiliate programs are a really great way to make money on Hubpages, but both have it's advantages and disadvantages as well as different strategies you must use to make money from them.

One of the great advantages to using the Amazon Affiliate program is that you can potentially get a higher payout per conversion.  If someone clicks on a flat screen TV link on your Amazon Affiliate link and buy, you will get a larger payout than if the same person clicked on a Google Adsense ad for the same product.

You can search by product keywords or you can go to Amazon.com and search for specific products. When you find the one you want, you can then copy and paste the URL into the Amazon capsule on your hub. Abracadabra, the product now shows up on your hub. Now each time someone clicks on that ad and they buy that product, you get a commission off that sale, again usually higher than they had gone through a Google Adsense ad.
