Out of Time for Amazon! What Now? My Strategy So Far

I won’t be approved for Amazon Associates this time around. My 90 days are up on the 19th of September. In the previous 3 months, I have made just over 2 quid. Traffic’s still low though.

This past week, I’ve been approved or whitelisted for another program that seems a good fit for my site. Pays around $30 bucks per sale. There’s a banner available. Another 2 affiliate programs are UK based paying £5 and £6 recurring monthly.

Essentially, this past week, I’ve made an attempt to put money links site wide.

For each of them, I have banners - one I had to make myself. I had already created a child theme and now I’ve coded it to show the banners at 20%, 50% and 80% of the content length. Essentially, for a 1,000 word post, the first banner will show after 200 words, the 2nd after 500 words, and the 3rd after 800 words.

Those banners are excluded from my review category, which are where I publish the roundup posts for Amazon products.

My strategy is to publish 10 info or problem > solution posts for every round up one and use them to funnel traffic to the money (Amazon) posts. With the banner ads in place on the info posts, I get the benefit of affiliate ad placement while also building the internal links to funnel readers to the product posts.

That’s the strategy, now a question…

For Amazon Associates… will I have to reapply after the 19th of September? (the 90-day qualification window)
