Amazon.com's custom Alexa toolbar for affiliates

Anybody making money with the custom Alexa toolbar?

A few years back the threads on the Amazon affiliate forums were all about bugs with the custom Alexa toolbar and affiliate IDs not been correctly integrated into the toolbar.

Have things changed? Are any affiliates making money through the Alexa toolbar?

One worrying thing I notice is that most anti-spyware programs delete/encourage users to delete the toolbar, which would affect revenue.

Thanks.

If anyone were making money from it, you'd hear about it on the Amazon Associate forum. I check in there regularly, and I don't think it's even been mentioned recently.

Amazon is also not promoting it to us Associates, and instead are focusing on some new ad setups. So I would be VERY surprised to hear that anyone is making much of anything from it, including Amazon itself.

Thank you for your feedback. You make a good point.

Anybody making anything with the Alexa toolbar? The potential to earn long-term income through it is there... but is it just theoretical? :)
