I really appreciate your thoughts...I'm fairly new to this, so I'll have to read your post over a few times to make it sink in.

I'm still a little puzzled about the seemingly high commission dollar amounts people mention in this forum. In your example, you mention $10 commissions. When I look at Amazon's rate schedule (5-7 percent) this tells me that Amazon customers would have to spend somewhere around $200 for you to make the $10. Is it fair to say that the Adwords program just isn't cost-effective for products under a certain price point?

And in regard to Ebay, I have to assume it's the registration commission of $45 (not the rate schedule of $0.10 - $0.25 per bid) that inspires anyone to bother joining their affiliate program. Is anyone really making money from $0.10 commissions? What happens when everyone in the world is registered at Ebay--will the party be over?
