Another problem with amazon is, there is a commission limit at $25

To clarify, that's not a limit. It's a minimum commission you must accumulate before Amazon sends out a payment. If you don't reach that amount in commissions in any given month, what you did earn is carried forward to the following month(s).
I don't think most affiliates would consider that much of a limitation.

No its not...
Amazon pays 4% but there is a limit... For example, you sell a plasma TV worth $1,000 and you should receive $40. You can only get $25. I am not really sure if they already changed the rules but that is what I know.....
What you mean is totally different but you are true in some other way..

I've never heard of that. Can you provide a source? some documentation?

Steven explained that in his series of videos @ supersimpleblogging.com (an excellent marketing tutorial). It's on video 3B or 4 I think...

Checked it out at the source: Amazon.
There are caps on a few items but they are not universal:

Other than that, you are paid a percentage of the sale on most other items:

I think Clickbank is a little easier but I see now that amazon has a widget that allows you to put a whole page up on your website or gives you the link or code to the page making it a little easier to promote.

That 's exactly what I am doing now., SEOing sites promoting amazon I think is a waste of time.... unless you are outsourcing..
Clickbank has my vote also. I have tried both and find that clickbank is easier. I am happy to see that there is money being made by the posts on this thread. It reinforces what is true, clickbank is the way to go. If you do have a website though and promoting through it, amazon has a product now (which I am not promoting, I just saw it last time I was on amazon) that lets you put a search box on your website which imbeds your affiliate information in it so if people do get to your site, they can search amazon and if they buy you get the sale. This, however, might detract from the real reason they came to your site in the first place.

I tried promoting the same product category from both sites/companies and I'm making more with clickbank. Yes, there are too many "how to get pregnant" products on amazon but that "pregnancy miracle" on clickbank is giving me more...
How are you promoting? Do you pay for traffic or get it for free? Do you have any methods you could share? I tend to get stuck in ruts... although I get traffic, it would be nice to get out of the rut and try some new types of promotion.
i like the fact that some of the sellers on CB have affiliate pages that cut your work in half
I think clickbank is a little better than amazon in term of offers and support. It definitely also provide a better result for me there.
Both are good but one thing a lot of people don't take into consideration is cashflow. If you are just starting out then you might be much happier with Clickbank paying you weekly via direct deposit versus every 30 days like Amazon.
Having said that, physical products are an easier sell....
