Amazon.com - Main Revenue Sources
Amazon has come a long way from its original inception in 1994. Books music and movies are just the start of what they are dealing with. These days itas sales of say, electronics, was far more remarkable than purchases that took place involving books and movies acoording to recent sales figures.To be more exact; media sales were something like 3.5 billion while 3.7 billion was responsible for electronics and other goods. Amazon.com's biggest challenge these days is dealing with digital formats while retaining their market for tangible goods. But as these physical things cant be duplicated they can still maintain their stronghold on the market. Their main source of revenue obviously is from advertising. In 2006, the company made $10.492 billion in profits from advertising and only $112 million with other revenues. One of their revenue models is Google AdWords (pay-per-click advertising), or in other words: site targeted advertising.
It allows the advertiser to target people in realtime that are looking for information relating to what the advertiser has to present and in turn makes it a whole lot easier when consumers are looking for particular products. You only pay when they click on shown adverts. People upload reviews of products and rate the product on a scale out of five stars, and others are encouraged to leave comments also on reviews. Affiliates clearly display products directly on their website, re-directing customers to the website upon point of purchase which results in the site owner earning his or her commission. Some industry experts claim Amazon "pioneered" affiliate partnership marketing.
Amazon Product Ads is a marketing incentive that involves product and payment for qualified customers. Basically, you only pay when they click on your banner on your site. Similar to other affiliate marketing strategies, Amazon provides the tools to design the advertisements. Afilliates upload, for instance; a product catalog and it will appear on Amazon.com in their search results. Cost-per-click bids will appear in the account that you set up. There are varying levels of control at the users discretion: maximum price paid per click, and daily budget, controlling returns on your advertising investments and optimize your budget accordingly and keep track of commissions. Furthermore, advertising links to target product on the affiliates web site where point of purchase takes place. They are charged when an Amazon customer clicks on the ad and is taken to the website.
