I'm pretty confident that taking the user's perspective on things will make a difference. I have to really make sure that my site adds value for the user and currently, I don't think I do that very well. I'm basically hurding people through to merchants (or trying to) without making sure that my merchants' deals are the best out there. I have a feeling my users aren't stupid.... Thanks, Pete!

I have a classic amazon associates account and I was <a href="http://www.affiliates4u.com/forums/getting-started-affiliate-marketing/144323-amazon-marketplace-pay-commission.html" rel="nofollow">asking the guys over at the A4U forums</a> how much they pay. If you know different, I'd be glad to hear it so I don't get way too excited about my potential amazon earnings! Hi Bob,

It's about users and core actions of your users. It doesn't make a shade of difference if your boss, friend, dad or dog like it if it's not targetted at them. It's something clients are guilty of to in a traditional client relationship all to often. They believe all to often their users like what they like and act like they do. It's seldom true. Focusing on your users will certainly help you. SEO and site optimising will only get people to your products, it won't make them buy them.
