Whats the benefit of Amazon Associates tiered compensation plan?
This may not be terribly helpful, but thought I’d chime in here – I used to work at amazon (down the hall from the associates group), and still happen to be a fairly active Associate – and even I get pretty confused about their whole tiering system. Always have. I’ve got amazon associate accounts in the US, UK, JP and Germany, and my personal rule of thumb was for the accounts that sell 100 units+ in a quarter, the tiering system can make a nice difference. Those selling fewer than 100 units in a quarter… well, there really didn’t seem to be a benefit either way, so I just stuck with the classic. For this quarter (Q2 2004) though, they appear to be experimenting with the basic difference between a flat rate (classic) and a graduated scale (tiered) – testing performance, cost and feedback, etc. From what I can see there really is no good reason for you to choose classic over tiered – for this quarter.
