Amazon TOS

Hi, I just started a new Amazon site but I was wondering about the TOS. I have the earnings disclaimer at the footer of every article but the Amazon link at the end of the article is just inside some anchor text.

Just wondering if anyone knows if that could get me a ban or not?

Thanks.

    I am confused as to what you think can get you banned. If you are talking about the earnings disclaimer, here is the exact info from Amazon:

    You will not issue any press release or make any other public communication with respect to this Operating Agreement, your use of the Content, or your participation in the Program. You will not misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute to any charity or other cause), or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Operating Agreement. You must, however, clearly state the following on your site: “[Insert your name] is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to [insert the applicable site name (amazon.com, amazonsupply.com, or myhabit.com)].”
    You can read the full terms here:

      I think he's talking about the clause to identify yourself/website as one that participates in the Amazon affiliate program.

      Just add the clause to your website footer (if you're on wordpress, some plugins will do that for you) and you should be good.
