Affiliate Marketing Secrets

My website is a music blog that updates users of new music, and every post I include a Amazon MP3 and iTunes affiliate link. But almost nobody is actually using them and buying the music through my website. It gets about 1300 unique visitors every day. So why aren’t people buying the music? Thanks

If yes, what’s your favorite team? Mine is the Buffalo Bisons, (The Triple-A affiliate of the New York Mets.)

I’m interested in learning some web design, but I’m not sure where I should focus my efforts. I’m interested in learning how to develop web applications – the kind of thing that would allow me to develop interactive applications, interact with databases, etc.
I’ve got a bit of background in programming, but it’s dated. I also have a stats/econ background, and I’m hoping to pick up enough web skills to eventually develop some niche online tools relating to statistical analysis and economics (and hopefully generate some side income from these tools).
What kind of things would I need to learn to do this (software/languages, courses, etc.) ? How much work is it to get a basic competency in these areas?

The Houston Holocaust Museum is trying to collect 1.5 million butterflies (not real ones) to represent the 1.5 million children killed in the Holocaust. Information about this program can be found at this link. http://www.hmh.org/ed_butterfly1.shtml
I wish I could do more to help them, but I can’t draw a stick. I guess my contribution will be finding people who ARE artistic to help. The deadline is December 31 of this year, so there is plenty of time to make a few butterflies. I hope that you will help.
I should add that I am not affiliated with the museum in any way.

I thought privatized security was more efficient? Plus it doesn’t cost taxpayers money.
Does he hate the free market & capitalism? Socialist hypocrite.

I am new to internet and affiliate marketing, but I have this great plan I’m working on. The only problem is that I can’t seem to find a good way to add backlinks to my website. Is there a program or something out there that does this for me?
