For 3000 visitors/month Amazon pays $100? That seems quite a waste.

Not a waste. Last month I got 2800 uniques, 5300 views, and made about $50. The thing is, The blog is there anyway. It's truly passive income.

Well, I meant waste on Amazon side. But I guess all that money is paid by the consumer of those products.

traditional ads would earn maybe $7-15 on that amount in most categories
