Mega Champ

I live in India and can safely say that Internet shopping in India is evolving but it will take time for it to reach to a level like in US or European Countries.

Why, Well Lets Point the reasons :

1. A big majority of Indian Population, still don’t have internet access, so internet shopping is out of the question.

2. Those who do have internet connection limit there online presence to only mail checking and some causal browsing.

3. And then there are few who do some internet shopping but that is limited to booking train,flight or movie tickets.

4. Lastly we have the breed that Indian webmaster are looking for, people who actually buy stuff from net.

So, even if you have a website with good amount of India traffic, there is pretty less chance of earning big bucks by affiliate marketing and finding those people who are feel comfortable buying the stuff from net.

This is contrast to what happens in US and European countries, there people do major shopping through internet and Internet presence is there in almost every household. So, clearly US based websites have a edge over Indian websites when it comes over to affiliate marketing.

This even applies to PPC. As for the same reason Adsense pays less for clicks coming from countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc. as conversion rates must be very low comparing to US based clicks.

So, it will surely take time for Internet Shopping to become a rage in India, and till then Indian webmasters will have to work little hard to get more of traffic from US or European Countries in order to increase their earnings.
