My site, which gets slightly less traffic than Less Wrong, makes me $50-$200 per month with Amazon referral links and no advertising at all. I don’t profit this way, but I recoup some of my costs.
My own experience is similar. Over the year I’ve had Amazon referral links on gwern.net’s existing Amazon links, the average monthly income has been $45.
(I’m not sure traffic-wise how LW & my site compare, but the Alexa US ranks are 60841 & 100008 respectively.)
