Ask HN: Anyone making money from Allposters affiliates programme?

[kevbam]

Hi,

I have a number of niche sites that attract a healthy amount of targeted traffic and send allposters a lot of unique visitors, but the conversion rate is extremely low.

Has anyone had any success with allposters.com affiliates? Any thoughts on how I could make these sites into money makers? If you want to check the site out : http://www.spanishcivilwarposters.com/ http://www.ww1posters.com/

I know they are not exactly oil paintings, but the bounce rate is lowish(50%).

First thing I would do is mask the affiliate links using something like http://www.w1posters.com/go/<insert-unique-id-for-each-p...;

Second thing I would do is emphasize current coupon codes for your visitor to use. Free shipping, 25% off, etc etc

Thank you for your response.Good idea regarding the coupon codes, that is something I will look at doing. Do you think people care that they are affiliate links?
