Play pay a tiny commission, whereas Amazon would pay you a lot more and is one that converts very well. I suppose part of your reason was to drop a cookie to gain secondary sales in the weeks ahead, and Amazon only pays you for sales that session. So maybe that's why?

Word of caution to those jumping on the X Factor bandwagon. It is almost a year since starting the Alexandra Burke site and the first album is due for release in October 2009. Like Kieron said, traffic is definitely generated and I'm sure a few quid has been made with AdSense but no real money.. Here's to the album being a huge hit as I'm currently No 1 in G for that phrase .. until Kieron steals it from me now, ;) Quick follow-up to this.
