I think you are pretty much 100% wrong here. With a active user base and the cookie duration for amazon links 10% isn't necessarily far off at all.

This of course takes into account high ticket items purchased with active cookie etc.



Not sure what amazon's cookie duration is. But to get enough cookie coverage, a lot of people would have to be clicking out on the links.

I simply think that 10% conversion is just way to high. If it was so easy to make a $1 ARPU from a blog, you'd see way more way more bloggers :)

24 hours[0], if I'm reading correctly.

If I made $1 ARPU, I'd quit my job and blog full-time.
