This is a great tutorial. I just started with Squidoo and promoting Amazon. live in a state where i am banned from being a direct associate.
I already knew about bestsellers, but like to quantify my research. You have given some good guidelines as well as your theory behind them.
Thanks.

Thanks Scott. That's a great work around to promoting Amazon and I hope other members caught on to this. Hub pages also offer partnering with them on eBay and Amazon products, I believe.
In fact, the commissions can be just as much partnering as it is if you were an affiliate on your own. Squidoo / Hubpages have a higher commission payout rate b/c they do more sales a month than you.
What I mean is this: if Squdoo does a million sales a month and their commission rate is 8% b/c of it, they split that with you and give you 4%.
On the other hand, if you were an affiliate of Amazon and only sold 30 items a month, your commission rate might only be 4% anyway.
If you make, let's say 101 sales a month, you may get paid 5%. In this case you're better off being an Affiliate directly.
NOTE: I'm not sure what the exact commission tier break down is, but the point is do not think it's not worth promoting an Amazon product w/ Squidoo just b/c you cannot qualify for the Amazon Associates program.
TIP: Just don't build your whole business around Squidoo b/c you DO NOT OWN the site. Therefore, they can change the affiliate program rules at any time and wipe out your income stream.
