Amazon Context Links Beta
I am using Amazon contextual links on my Wii blog, unfortunately I have yet to gather enough data to make any kind of decision on it's success. After only running the ads for 2 days, it's virtually impossible to gauge any sort of conversion rate, especially with the delayed reports today.

I finally received my Wii, almost 3 months after launch. The next-gen console from Nintendo was obviously going to be a success, but I didn't think so much in my area of the country.
