Though I won't give out the exact number, I'm roughly a dollar a day for this month. I have no experience with All Posters. CBD is a little more work than the usual affiliate, but their payout is a little better. With CBD, finding the id for the item is work, then you have to download the graphic yourself and "create a link"-- but that's not really all that flexible since they really only want one link per product. I haven't done much with them other than a few books and the search box I had up at Christmas time on this site. I got my sales mostly through the search box. But, like you, haven't done that much promotion. So, as for your question about it improving-- I haven't noticed much improvement, but I'm not there a lot. I've been doing more through Amazon-- though Amazon's commission is less than CBD's, and I'd much rather send the business to CBD. I'm still thinking about the MInTheGap logo shirts, though. I figure that I could have a whole separate blog on products, but that's another story. Google AdSense is nice in that I get paid for every click– but every click is worth different amounts.

I've often wondered how that works.I'm an affiliate with allposters and CBD, but have yet to have anyone actually buy anything from them from my site. Allposters gets traffic from my site, but no buyers, which is fine, I just signed up with them so I could use their beautiful pics on my posts. I haven't done a very good job advertising for either place, or I might have more success. I do have a question for you, when I first signed up with CBD, there was a lot of rigmarole involved in getting the right codes for the product links back to their site. Have you noticed if this has been improved at all? I gave up way back when, on directly linking to them with a product in a post. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts on these things! <em>Mary's last blog post..<a href='http://homesteepedhope.com/2008/01/31/blogging-and-other-updates/'>Blogging and Other Updates</a></em> So do you get a lot of hits on your Google ad sense ads?
