Are You Allowed To Use PPC On Amazon Associate Program?

2 replies
Some people are saying that amazon won't pay you if you use any kind of PPC marketing.

I've just looked at amazon associate terms and conditions. From what I understand you can use PPC as long is your send visitors to your site. After they get to your site visitors then click on an amazon link.

Here is a paragraph from the terms and conditions explaining this. Can you please confirm that I am correct that you are allowed to use PPC with amazon.

“Prohibited Paid Search Placement” means an advertisement that you purchased through bidding on keywords, search terms, or other identifiers (including Proprietary Terms) or other participation in keyword auctions. “Proprietary Term” means keywords, search terms, or other identifiers that include the word “amazon,” “Kindle,” “myhabit,” or “Javari,” or any other trademark of Amazon or its affiliates ( see a non-exhaustive list of our trademarks), or variations or misspellings of any of those words (e.g., “ammazon,” “amaozn,” “kindel,” and “javary”). “Redirecting Link” means a link that sends users indirectly to the Amazon Site via an intermediate site or webpage and without requiring the user to click on a link or take some other affirmative action on that intermediate site or webpage. “Search Engine” means Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search or referral service, or any site that participates in any of their respective networks.

    You can use PPC to send traffic to your website where there are affiliate links.

    You cannot use PPC to send traffic directly to Amazon.

    You cannot use Amazon's trademarks within the search terms you are bidding on.

      Kindsvater, thankyou for your reply. I am new to amazon affiliate program so was just double checking I understood the terms and conditions.

      Why everyone is complaining they can't use PPC I don't know, maybe they assume that your not allowed to use it at all.

      Remember never assume as it gets you into trouble.
