Video Hosting with Affiliate Links allowed

6 replies
Well, I had to learn it the hard way.... 2 of my ytube channels are suspended. I can only imagine they did not like the amzn.to links in there :-(
Although I always provided great content, nice reviews and I never seen that as spam - 20 k views a month sure is not a spam-channel .....

but, that kind of sucked. around 100$ lost a month now .....

I am now looking for a service with which I can host the reviews and use amazon affiliate links. But this time: embeded player on my domain.

I need approx 250 GB storage, 20 k views month, max file size at least 2 GB.

it should be around max 50 $ a month.

I heard about Amazon S3, but I estimate more than 100$/ month c ost. what do you think?

Vimeo pro is close to 800€, thats too much. perhaps hostgator?

    OK so vimeo pro is only $199 per year. This is not so expensive. Also, most of the time they are up. Personally, I use vimeo. I do not rec HG any more. Let us say I have been through some terrible user experiences. Read some posts about migration of servers.

    Do not give up on you tube or other similar services. Create a video and link to a short domain name. For example use zpy007.com or a very similar name.

    After that do not put in any affiliate codes into your description any more. Only link to the short name. Put zpy007 in your desc or what ever. Please make sure to use com. Do not make the video spammy. Instead, make it exciting to people will share it. Social media is a big plus and spam is a major minus.

    i use youtube to promote cb, and never get a problem maybe because i use pretty link to cloak my aff link.. maybe you can try too if you host your video to your own hosting maybe you need to think about seo too, because google index youtube video pretty fast and good.. But i see google index dailymotion or vimeo quite good too

    I use a domain name that I own and then I redirect to the affiliate link. These days I prefer to send people to a landing page and entice them to opt in to my mailing list. That way you can remarket to these individuals over again.

    All the best! Kenny

    SOmehow, this whole ytube thing really got me pissed. No warning, no complaints and wham, 2 channels closed. really some great an nice review-channels..

    I can do SEO myself, bought everything like captcha breaker, GSA ranker, etc.. in january.

    sorry, guys, but those USA-3rd-party IM-providers just close and ban....

    same happened with mailchimp, they suspected spam (which wasnt!! just a bad bwritten mail) and closed the account, WITHOUT warning.

    I hate that.. all companies spam you to death with unimportan info mails. but importan stuff? no info, no warning, just gone.....

    I will try to find some provider to self host them and embed them with wordpress 3.6

    That's possibly because Amazon don't like affiliates to use links from amazon on sites other than affiliates own website. It's in their terms of service.
    That's why you don't see many reviews using aff links from Youtube. I imagine it's the same for any other video hosting site. I think you're going to have to work around this one. Links direct from videos to your website not amazon might be a way . In addition don't use the images from amazon in your videos you'l have to get them somewhere else ( copyright
    of course).
    Using Pretty link is another way but it doesn't get around the fact that if your videos look obviously amazon affiliate reviews they will get taken down.
    All I'm saying is hold your horses before spending a lot of money the problem & solution maybe simpler. I don't think I misunderstood your dilemma.
