Amazon and their Affiliates Program

changed again

[PatrickDeese]

Anyone figured out what the new "tiered structure" means (besides less money for us)?

[ThomasB]

You have to sell more things to get into the same tier as in Q3.

Well, the non-media requirements are not as stricts as before. Nevertheless, the comparison at the faq should help.

Maybe they should change the plan just one ... more .... time right before Christmas! That way no one will really know what the program pays!

There is a lot to be said about a "simple" program.

That does not mean that there can not be incentives or bonuses structures ... however of late I think Amazon is spending too much time with bean counters and the affiliate program.

Crazy stats and figures in the agreement!

Yes, it is simple, and very easy to make BIG bucks! I made $5,571.19 last quarter. Simply using mod_rewrite increased my sales 300%.

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but what is mod_rewrite?

[Jesse_Smith]

Using a AWS script that brings up info for any item in Amazon. Instead of it looking like a cgi URL, it looks like a static .html URL, tricking the search engines.
