My affiliate site is getting 2K monthly visitors but conversion to Amazon is under 1%. Traffic sources are mixed — Google organic and Pinterest. Products are relevant to search intent and links are clearly placed. What am I missing?

Google organic traffic generally converts better than Pinterest because it arrives with high buyer intent, especially from comparison and review queries. Aligning affiliate links immediately after comparison tables can capture 25-40% higher click rates. Pinterest traffic typically comes with discovery intent, requiring additional trust-building content before conversion. The Amazon Associates platform has a 24-hour cookie window, which often results in 80-90% attribution loss for high-ticket items or Pinterest traffic due to longer consideration cycles. Comparison tables improve conversion by 25-40% and should include Amazon's Native Shopping Ads or OneLink for better tracking and conversion, especially on mobile devices. Highlighting key product differentiators in these tables can help increase conversions. Since products priced between $30-$100 may need two to three browsing sessions, cookies expiring too soon can be problematic. Mobile optimization is crucial, as it increases conversions by 64%, and page load speeds under 2 seconds can further improve conversion rates by 50%.
