Running Amazon Affiliate Links through Facebook Ads

That's a no no.
The only way is if you have a website or blog about a Amazon product review but not
the direct link or you'll be banned.

Amazon allows you to post Amazon products directly onto your facebook page I am not sure if you can do what you are asking but if Amazon enables you to post any product onto your facebook page using their app then why would they oppose you setting up a fanpage and then directing your facebook ads to that facebook page.

HOWEVER the best thing is to send a support ticket in and ASK them and get it from the horses mouth so to speak.

If you would like to know how to post Amazon products to your facebook timeline, Group, or fanpage here is a video I made.

Campaigns of facebook ads for amazon products are not worth it.

You will only be throwing your hard earned money away

So to be clear, you can post a link in the post, but not advertise it?

You can advertise on FB Ads and send them to your website first and then they should go to Amazon.
I did it many times. i will publish 2-3 case studies about that soon.

Send the person to your blog or website that has links on it. You can't use an affiliate link or squeeze page. You could even make a page ad your website or boost your post with your affiliate link in it.

I have seen a page on FB that uses what looks like Amazon short links to send a person directly from the post to the product on Amazon. Is this allowed by FB and Amazon TOS?

I recently had a chat with an amazon associates rep about this. Here are my takeaways, but you should verify everything directly with Amazon. In short you cannot run paid facebook ads that directly link to amazon with your associates links.

1) You CAN use the amzn.to affiliate shortlink in a post on your fan page.

2) If you use the amzn.to shortlink in a post, you are not required to include the amazon associates disclosure in the post since that particular link is already considered to be declarative.

3) You should have the amazon associates disclosure somewhere on your fan page, such as in the About tab.

4) You CANNOT include an associates link in a boosted post or paid ad.

5) You CAN run paid facebook ads to your own compliant site or landing page that has amazon associates links. So basically the visitor will have to click at least twice (first from your paid ad to your site, and then second from your site to amazon).

6) Amazon Associates wants you to add your fan page URLs you intend to use to your sites list. If you reach the maximum number of sites in that list, you don't have to keep adding more.

7) In addition to everything above, Facebook and the FTC have their own rules. So even though you don't need the Amazon Associates disclosure in your post, you still have to satisfy the FTC disclosure requirement. Here's a link that gives some examples regarding the FTC disclosures in social networks (I have no affiliation with this site):

Do not do this, you'll get banned. You MUST run your Amazon links through a domain you own or content you own, or else you'll end up getting your AZ account banned.

I have seen people do this all the time. I have talked to Amazon, and their answer is always as clear as mud. I know I would make a lot more money if I could advertise my links, but to me it is not worth the risk.

thanks buddy for this post.this is so helpful..really this will help many like me..

If you want to run ads and get your affiliate commision too, what I've seen others do is send advertising traffic to a landing page on where people can click to buy the product on Amazon, and that second click uses an affiliate link. That's the safest way to go about this.
