120/50000 = 0.0024 0.024%

You need to use branding better. I know you cannot use 'amazon' but can you incorporate the product's brand name into you verbiage (copy)? That would probably double, (or a much greater gain), your CTR from search, considering your copy is appealing ... If you are already doing that sort of branding effort, then your site ranking is not good enough.
 
Many many things to consider
yesterday more visits from Ecosia.org than Google!!!!!!
that last algo update really hit hard
getting desperate now
my day job is a real bitch
earn round about $200 for a full day
pays the bills & some left
but its the graveyard shift
i fuckin hate it
would take half that to be an affiliate

am considering affiliate machine gun approach
--> pop up a heap of affiliate sites
maybe 10 or 20 different angles of the same niche
keep them all updated & see which gets traction
then hammer on those

need that boost to get back on track
 
Ecosia.org....I've never heard of them before, interesting find. I actually wasn't sure what to make of it.

but its the graveyard shift
i fuckin hate it
Crying Face Understandable. But it's temporary, a means to an end.

would take half that to be an affiliate
Keep going and probably you will be. Actually.....you already are an affiliate but I know what you mean.

problem is now my health getting bad again
No you don't! Don't make me come there and make you drink chicken soup and take vitamins! Because you know I will! :rofl

but the network stuck by me

Traffic went up & up toward 200 daily

considering a switch from affiliate to web design but nothing decided
anyhow im pausing it atm

I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hope your infection heals and your eyes are better soon!
 
Oh dear STI
hope it doesnt become STD
immune system gone wild

meanwhile .....
have decided to keep affiliate fashion blog going until Christmas
2 main goals
  1. help visitors
  2. improve analytic stats
any affiliate commission just a bonus
Google ranking would be a miracle

im not doing it for the money any more
just enjoy blogging and helping folk
