Clicks, but no Sales
So I've been a premium member for about a week now, and its been very fun. I didn't expect to start making sales immediately but I am seeing that my amazon affiliate links are getting a decent number of clicks, which tells me that my ads are targeting the right demographic. But, I have absolutely zero sales.
I've signed on two other affiliate networks as well to see if I fare better with them
I'm still very confident and hopeful, but I was wondering how everyone else in this community is able to get around this issue and if they have any tips for other new joins.

Some of those clicks may be by you testing the link out and I've heard of the Google spiders following those links which may count towards the clicks. But it's a numbers game. How many clicks did you get through to amazon?. For me, my average is 5-7% conversion rate. So out of every 100 clicks I make 5 to 7 sales on average. But other people may have a higher conversion or lower conversion rate. All depends how targeted your amazon ads are to your audience. Hope this helps
I've gotten about 89 clicks over 5 days. The amazon data shows that I actually received clicks from unique users somewhere in the mid 60's, so I'm already attributing some of my clicks to myself doing testing.
You joined about a month ago so do not expect much, give yourself at least half a year to see any results.
About clicks; This is less than 18 clicks per day. So take 5% of this (statistically, but realistically go to 3%) and this yields 0.9 sales per day or 0.3 per day. So be patient and grow your content and traffic.
Exclude your own clicks, these is easily done.
