Not so long ago, it seemed like every affiliate and his dog was focused \u2014 almost exclusively \u2014 on creating Amazon affiliate websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But with reduced commission rates \u2014 and product review related Google updates \u2014 Amazon\u2019s program has lost some of its shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s true that Amazon Associates may be past its heyday, it\u2019s still one of the very best affiliate programs around. And affiliate marketing websites<\/a> are continuing to make real money with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I\u2019m going to take a look at seven Amazon affiliate website examples that are still<\/em> crushing it in 2024 (and probably beyond).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But first, let\u2019s address the elephant in the room\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Amazon Affiliate Websites AREN\u2019T Dead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is a general trend with larger affiliate programs: initially, the commissions start high and decrease over time as the company expands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why? Affiliate programs aim to attract new customers, especially in the early days. But as the company expands, they rely less on affiliate referrals. Eventually, someone crunches the numbers and suggests cutting commissions to save money. If the first cut doesn’t hurt the business, they’ll keep doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s exactly what\u2019s happened\/happening with Amazon. An excellent analysis by Geniuslink <\/a>showed that the average commission rate on Amazon peaked in mid-2012 at 9.25% but had fallen to 3.14% in early 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we can mourn the loss of such mountainous commission rates, we have to accept the fact that this is a trend that is likely to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But despite this, Amazon Associates is not dead<\/a><\/strong>. Far from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a case to be made that it is still the best affiliate program<\/a> around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also the most popular affiliate program out there, with 58.5% of affiliate marketers using it according to our affiliate marketing statistics<\/a> page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it converts like crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use dozens of different affiliate programs for the niche websites I run and while Amazon is far from offering the highest commission rates, the conversion rate obliterates the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Conversion Rate vs Other Affiliate Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To prove how good Amazon\u2019s conversion rate is compared to other programs, here\u2019s my actual data from 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"amazon
Amazon Associates (Top), Avantlink (Middle), Skimlinks (Bottom)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

In 2022, my Amazon affiliate links converted at an impressive 15.19%. To give that some context, the second and third most clicked affiliate programs I use frequently (Avantlink and Skimlinks<\/a>) converted at a meager 0.89% and 1.09% respectively \u2014 which is pretty standard across the affiliate industry. That means Amazon converted 15x more sales than the rest of our affiliate programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So even if Amazon offered just a 1% commission rate, other programs would need to offer 15% just to make you the same earnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Amazon remains \u2014 arguably \u2014 the best affiliate program. And that\u2019s before you even factor in other benefits such as their vast range of products, additional cart value (i.e. people purchasing items other than the products you recommend) and its global presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
