Hi friends!
I just want to share how my affiliate links performed for the last year. This report is from Amazon.
I found that my links perform better if they are in the text rather than in the images.
The code up there is for text only.
Down below is for the image affiliate link performance.
See the difference?
Text link got 691 clicks while image link got 412 clicks.

Conversion rate for the text link is 9.41% while image link is 3.64%.
Which link should I use?
I think I will still use both links as they eventually bring traffic.
I'm loving the text link better because:
- it proves me that my article got read
- people agreed on my opinions and click the link
How about NativeAds?
Somehow I see that this type of ads doesn't work on my website. It has very low clicks.
and NO CONVERSIONS!
I think that even though Amazon NativeAds looks very nice, I think people know that it is an advertisement. People tend to avoid it, don't they?
What do you think?
Should I discard all nativeads? Should I only choose text, image, text-image?
What is your opinion on this?
