Wow, thanks guys for letting me know how you "found" Fastlane. This really helps me!<br />
<br />
The problem with Amazon is you're always shooting in the dark. There is NO WAY to uncover how sales are made. That means, I could sell 100 books from a video I did and have NO CLUE that the vid was responsible. Or this forum. Or some post. Or somewhere else. <br />
<br />
It really sucks that authors have no idea how they are getting conversions that port to Amazon. ("it really sucks" -- can ya say, "need?")

MJ there is Affiliate link tracking software available on the market. The software or tracking service develops a unique link that then redirects to your amazon affiliate link, this way you can know which links people are clicking on that sends them to amazon. The problem is once on amazon you still do not know which convert into sales and which do not convert into sales. <br />
<br />
This software is mainly used in the affiliate marketing space: it is used to test which links are converting traffic to the advertisers website, and it also cloaks through the redirection so that advertisers cannot track how you are sending them traffic, which prevents them from going directly to the source and placing those same PPC, PPV, Pop Up Ads, etc.. <br />
<br />
This is just another example why hitchhiking in the affiliate space is often a losing situation.</div>
