I'm about to start an Amazon affiliate site and have read their T.O.S and my question is this!

What does framing mean in terms of Amazon as they don't allow it, but don't explain what it is, can anyone help.

    Frazer - Framing is an HTML element that lets you display content from other URLs on your own page.

    In the past, some webmasters would take Amazon's exact content - formatting and all right from the URL on Amazon - and frame a section of it on their own site.

    Then it looks like the visitor is actually reading Amazon's page while staying on your site. For a number of reasons, Amazon does not allow associates to frame their content. You'd have to actively code your site to use frames or have a plug-in that purposefully framed content. As long as you avoid tools that frame Amazon content and do not tweak your own site to frame content, you should be fine.
