I added an Amazon storefront to my site today. I am curious how this will perform on my site over time. I lost a steady readership when I took three years off from writing (big shock there!). I noted earlier that I want to repost all my original content, but I need to edit all the data before I do. Perhaps that will slowly rekindle the traffic to my site. Mind you, I am note particularly trying to drive traffic for the sake of bragging rights. I am here to practice my writing, build my web development skills and basically keep a general journal of what I do. I do not have dreams of fame.

I used to have links to Barnes & Nobel affiliate items on my original site, and I even made a couple of dollars from it. I never liked how B&N worked, however, and it took something like two years before I got my miniscule kickback as a check in the mail. I hope the Amazon does better. One option that Amazon offers is gift certificate kickbacks in $10 increments, presumably every month, provided the minimum is reached. My own orders alone, over time, will make that worth the effort.
