but if I had the choice, I would prefer to have higher commission rate from Amazon instead of cool widgets
Still is pretty cool, though

AAAAAMEN!!! I have probably sold nearly $10,000 worth of products from Amazon.com over the past 10 years and the commissions I have to show are pathetic! I really wish they would raise their commissions because you can find almost any product to sell.
I've never had any luck with Amazon at all, although I only signed up recently, to be fair. I get the sense that the moment someone sees the Amazon logo, they feel they may as well go directly to the website - but perhaps I'm wrong. It certainly seems as if one member here has sold pretty well if she's shifted $10,000 worth of merchandise!
I use Amazon a lot so I was considering using it when I build my site. But now I'm having second thoughts - is it really that bad? Has anyone made any money using Amazon?

Yes, I make money from their program but it's a small part of my affiliate portfolio. Even though Amazon.com has a very low commission structure, it's good when you know you can sell a lot of a certain product but can't find an affiliate program for it anywhere. Amazon.com sells everything so it's always my fallback plan when I can't find other affiliate programs for specific products.
That is a cool Carousel Widget from Amazon and it is really too bad they don't pay their affiliates a higher commission.
Although I know this thread is about affiliates, this post does however talk about the Carousel Widget and I thought this would be great to share with everyone.
Here's one that you can put any affiliate pictures in and link to your affiliates sites. It's pretty cool looking and it's free to download and use.
