Just like Google Adsense, most Bloggers use Amazon ads to generate additional website revenue. It is very easy to get approved for an Amazon associate account and they give you a decent amount of widget sizes to start with.

I went Amazon ad crazy when I first got my account, until I realized what a waste of space it was. Now, I personally think that Amazon produces the most tackiest widgets. And with the release of Amazon Omakase ads, every color blind blogger has gone color crazy with them. Unless you know how to use their API integration to your website, it is hard to seamlessly integrate their ads.

So, my question is, in all the time you have used Amazon Ads, have you generated any income? And if you haven't, maybe it's about time to look for other money generating solutions.

Shopping.com released its own shop widgets version late this summer. Shop Widgets are pre-built ad units that you can easily place on any web site. Shopping.com supplies you with three widget sizes showcasing their product catalog, merchant offers, and Epinions content onto your site. I like their program better because the widgets are easy to integrate and user ratings for the product displayed are shown. To apply, visit http://partners.shopping.com

Another solution is Tumri CornerStore. The ads are flashy and come in really nice fancy rounded corner boxes. Their fully-automated merchandising network provides an intelligent and efficient way to deliver relevant retail offers to interested online consumers. I really like this concept.
