I tried an Amazon affiliate link (similar to https://kenrockwell.com) on my blog (https://frdmtoplay.com). 6000 views over 4 months has lead to 2 conversions for $12. For my level of traffic that's better than ads, but still not covering hosting costs.

I feel like Amazon affiliate money is "swingy" I have affiliate links when I review or recommend books on my blog (arthur-johnston.com) I won't make any money for a few months and then I'll make $50 in a month.
The only consistent earnings I get is every summer my article "3 books developers should read when they graduate"(1) makes me some money. My assumption is there are a lot of CS grads who need the advice :)
