Maybe It's just a coincidence, but..

   Amazon earnings lower when ad program earnings are higher and vice vs. to where the total stays pretty consistent.

      Definitely a coincidence.  I am experiencing both my highest Amazon earnings and highest CPMs in this month.

         What? Your highest Amazon earnings ever? If yes, I'm surprised because of the commission cuts and everything.

            I make the same number of sales, or even more, but those commissions now really make it a waste of time. One of the best selling items on my pages used to earn about $2.50. Now it is 50 cents. I would have to sell 5 times as much stuff just to earn the same as before.
            There are also things like this: $0.04
            Really?

               I shipped 72 items two weeks or a month ago and made guess what, $2.**
               
               That was the highest single-day shipments I've seen on HP and also one of my lowest earning days. I did not even bother to look at what shipped, because I see a lot of a few cents when I look it up. I made a few hundred off of Amazon last month which should have been my best Amazon month, going to have to consider it as a surprise bonus.

                  Yeah, those $2 days are enough to bring tears! I had one because someone returned something and destroyed all my other sales. I guess we need one of those "buy from Amazon and give the author a cup of coffee". Or a few drops, because that is what those commissions are worth now.

               Agreed!
               
               My sales are about the same if not a bit better as well. Not that it matters.  I'm making less than before with the new earning rates basically being cut in half. A sale from last month I earned a measly 1%! What a joke.
               
               I thought I was the only one making cents on some items. I had never seen only pennies before the new contract. Sorry to see you are making almost nothing on some items as well.

                  There was no need for this either. I seriously doubt Bezos is going hungry.

            All of a sudden, people are buying more.  It's weird.

   Seems like a coincidence, I have a 12 dollar range in the last week.

   Amazon earnings aren't counted until the product ships. So, it would make sense that you see a rise in Amazon earnings a day or two after you had the rise in traffic that gave you the higher ad earnings.
