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?

Your site receives mixed traffic from Pinterest and Google organic, and you mainly use Amazon Associates with products priced between $30-$100. Conversion under 1% might be affected by Pinterest's discovery intent, as Pinterest users often browse but purchase later, beyond Amazon's 24-hour cookie window, leading to lost attributions. Comparison tables boost click-through rates by 25-40%, but ensuring the table is mobile-optimized can increase conversions further by 64%. With Amazon Associates, leveraging Amazon's Native Shopping Ads or OneLink in tables improves mobile app attribution. Trust signals may play less of a role in this price range compared to high-ticket items, yet they still increase conversions by 35-42%. The Amazon cookie window mismatch is a challenge; using email capture for retargeting could help maintain attribution. Using urgency messaging can compress decision timelines, although this is less effective for mid-range purchases where buyers typically take 2-3 sessions before purchasing.
