Amazon Problems???
EVERY BIT OF CONTENT is 100% unique written by me, based on actual use of the products. I have about 1500 words on the home page with a comparison chart featuring about 15 similar products linked to Amazon and Top 5 nicely reviewed linked to Amazon. I have another page with 5 more similar products reviewed. Each review is about 200-300 words and is linked to Amazon .
I have a Tips page with 6 "How Too" articles 500+ words each (3000 words of non sales content) . I have a "Myths" page with 5 articles all over between 400-600 words ( another 2500+ words non sales). That gives me somewhere around 6000 words of content on 4 pages and 12 posts not directly selling products just general "How Too" and general information.
I have a video "How too" section with 8 You Tube videos, not selling just demonstration "How too's"
I applied to Amazon at the time I started the site. I got a letter 3 days ago telling me I needed to make a referral sale in the first 90 days to keep my account active. So I called Amazon to see what was up, they said "No Worries" you still have 45 days to get your first referal.
So I call up 3 buddies and had them go to my site and make small purchases. They all live about 150 miles away in different directions. Each one went to my site from their home computer, clicked on links to the Amazon products off my site and made a purchase of around $20.
Well guess what? I DID NOT GET CREDIT of any of the three sales. So Yesterday I called again, asking why I did not get credit for 3 sales I got e-mail thanked for???? I told the Amazon Associates Rep the people emailed my personal email to thank me for the great product referral and they just bought the product.
The Amazon Rep fumbled around with a few lame excuses why I may not have received credit for the sales. I told her how do I know if other sales had not been credited and in my eyes Amazon was stealing for me by not giving me credit.The rep apologized for the problem and would look into why I was not given credit.
Now today 1 day after the call 48 days after applying for the account I get a letter from Amazon that my account application has been rejected because of a "LACK OF CONTENT"??????? There is NOTHING in the terms about minimum content requirements. Looks like I got scammed!!!!
WTF I caught them scamming ME and they reject my account???? All others BEWARE!!! Sure looks like something fishy going on. I wonder how many out there are loosing $1000 without ever knowing about it??????
I have allot of time and effort into this site any advise on what to do next???? I cant find the products I build this site around on any other affiliate program.
