Good information. One more to add is including their links in ebooks or offline media such as brochures.
It boggles the mind how restrictive this program is considering that people are essentially providing the company with free advertising using their time and effort. All for a 24 hour cookie and 1% to 3% commissions.

Why does Amazon offer the shortened link option if you're not supposed to use it?

Excellent video, to the point which is helpful. As someone who is about to start using it I have to say I wasn't as wary as I should have been!

Thanks for making the video
🙂

I just went through my website and realized at the end of this month will be 6 months since I launched my site. No traffic yet, but if I’m correct, I should be starting to receive traffic over these next couple of months. I’ve now increased my efforts and think early next year will start looking promising. I wasn’t aware of notifying Amazon about all the locations I plan to promote my affiliate link, thank you for that tip. Great video, always appreciated.

Great info! Question, what if other people are sharing your links they got from your website, etc. without you knowing about it at all? You can’t really control that, can you?

[ChellyWood]

Thank you for this helpful information. I wanted to add this to my "watch later, " so I can keep reminding myself about these important tips, but I don't see that option on your video. Also, have you got a WooCommerce store with affiliate links? And if so, would you consider making a tutorial that shows us how to add Amazon images using the site stripe with a WooCommerce WordPress online store? I've been looking for a tutorial on that, but I can't seem to find one.

I made over $150+ dollar in a day and got kicked out during the night. Later, I realised that I didn't add the link of the website on amazon through which I promoted the products. So, don't do these mistakes.😅✌️

Didn't know what I was doing when I applied, I generated several sales in only a few days, but got kicked out right after. x) I was pretty much doing numbers 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 without realizing they were bad 😂 Now after watching this video I can reapply confidently and do things right!

Great content as always!! Love watching your videos. Thank you so much for the value you provide!

Alex, long-time watcher, first time commenting. Great content!

Question, is the AAWP plugin, the same as the Woozone? If so, do you like AAWP better? Is using a plugin like Woozone considered link cloaking?
Also, are there any good budget alternatives to Ahrefs for keyword research?

[stevewigg]

Great info as always Alex. In relation to not mentioning prices, what about ' priced at around $700 ' Would that be ok do you think?

[notabolished]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. What about adding alt text to the images?

[alexherrera]

Nice
If i have a new blog site, can i buy some 3 products at the beginning so i do not get kicked out due to those 3 minimum sales in the first month?
Thanks

[mellomedia]

Thank you. Joined last week. Good thing they haven't kicked me out yet. You just saved me. Let you know how I'm doing in a week.

So using an image with Amazon as long as there is an affiliate link with them, it’s just okay?

[tweedledee-ks]

This was very helpful. I just got the reminder email from Amazon about disclosures. Do you think you need to put 'paid link' next to each link? or is the general disclaimer sufficient? Thanks :)

[polinaraw]

Thank you very much! Knew everything except for the first one!

[Makblondie]

I was denied my application because my group I created on fb was private. It has to be public.

[dr.biscuits]

Quality information as always from our Alex....thanks pal.

Noooo!!! I received a rejection letter THIS MORNING. But the good news, I was using a free table builder and including Amazon pics and star ratings. Table removed, problem solved. Looks like I’ll be using your Link for the API
