Your guides are well written, but I think they need something to make them more profitable. As it is the links to the Amazon store aren't very obvious and aren't very likely to be clicked by visitors.

I would recommend that you use product ads such as the ones generated by Amazon Affiliate Script. They will be more attractive and more likely to generate clicks from visitors.

Hmm, did you use Affiliate Script specifically or did you just try to use Amazon.com's product ad designer?

Basically, the way it works is Amazon.com or Affiliate Script or whatever system to use will give you a code snippet. You then edit your post, click "HTML" and paste the code snippet into your post.

Then the widget appears, complete with price, a picture of the product, a "buy" link, etc.

The advantage of that is that people are more likely to buy or at least investigate buying if they can easily see that price and the "buy" button.

With regard to blocking from China, many sites are blocked from China because China has a very restrictive nation wide firewall designed to prevent the inflow of porn, but mostly ideology that is anti-communist, etc.

China tries to rigorously control its nations internet access by blocking most sites. So it isn't uncommon for Chinese visitors to be unable to reach your blog. I get very few. Over more than a year with eighty thousand visitors from other countries I think I still have less than 500 Chinese visitors to my blog.

It is a shame, really.....
