What's the joke about being an Amazon Associate?

You guys are clueless. Im already a major player in the game. Ryan Eagle has nothing on me. I was pulling hoes when I was broke but it took money for him to finally land one...
Not quite LY2!
Referral rate @ Amazon.com is 4% to 8.5%.
Referral rate @ Amazon.co.uk is 5% to 9%.
The rates rise the more items you ship. There are many products on Amazon that can't be found elsewhere so it makes sense to use them if you run a load of niche sites like I do. Just remember that Amazon is America's largest online retailer and gets three times the sales revenue of the runner up (Staples), so I doubt there's ever any issues when site visitors see the Amazon logo.
Meanwhile a few post earlier in the same thread . . .

lol that items ridiculous. You don't really see affiliates pushing industrial/scientific gear though do you? May be worth looking into.
Agreed. It converts very well for me and people don't hesitate to buy big ticket items from Amazon. You're never going to make a profit doing PPC to Amazon, but if you have a niche product related site that gets some traffic, it's a good revenue source.
push these

If you've got organic traffic you can do alright depending on the niche. I make decent bank from Amazon, but I don't pay for the traffic so I don't care about waiting on the money.
I've done well over $100,000 in sales for amazon and made a measly $4k.
Not to mention their payment system is at least 2 and 1/2 months behind. I JUST got paid for june.....

$4k = 4%... Should be higher than that shouldn't it? You only have to ship a minimum of 7 items in a month to move up to 6%.
I think Amazon definitely deserve more credit, the possible 8.5% is a really good rate for specific products. Many brands tend to offer up to 12%, but some stores like Toys R Us offer just 3%.
During the World Cup I wanted to push those Jabulani footballs, but the sport stores were only selling the Glider versions. Adidas sold them all (but ran no affiliate program) and the one other place was Amazon.com. At Amazon you could find the Jabulani Final ball, the Jabulani match ball, all of the Gliders and even the MLS versions. Because Amazon have become so popular now a lot of manufacturers tend to go straight to them first as well, so you can pick up plenty of buzz products there before anywhere else.
