Amazon Sucks?

I just made $14 for selling $400 worth of merchandise for Amazon, and I'm sick of it.

Comments such as this are starting to run rampant amongst the affiliate crowd. Whose fault is this? Obviously Amazon is a business looking to make money, but are they starting to cut the grunts out of the picture. Afterall, the grunts are the ones putting Amazon's name out on the net and marketing the plethora of products they have to offer. Truly a game of give and take.

The downside to Amazon is that they have considerably low percentages for payout. However, they offer a broad line of products that you can choose from to market. So, utilizing Amazon could best be done by mixing it with other programs on your site, ie. Adsense, Clicksor, or other contextual advertising.
