Hello guys,
Amazon will be changing their terms of service as of June 6th. I quickly skimmed through the changes and found two instances, which I think are very important for people who are using european amazon affiliate links.
"In addition, you must not use a link shortening service in a manner that makes it unclear that you are linking to an Amazon Site"
|
Was added to the General Link Policy section.
"You will not cloak, hide, spoof, or otherwise obscure the URL of the site containing Special Links (including by use of a redirecting page) such that we cannot determine the site from which a customer clicks through such Special Link to the Amazon Site."
|
Was added as a new point in the operating agreement.
Third and finally this is how the old point 27 sounded:
27. You will not artificially generate clicks or impressions on your site or create Sessions on the Amazon Site, whether by way of a robot or software program or otherwise.
|
It was changed to:
You will not artificially generate clicks or impressions on your site or create Sessions on the Amazon Site, whether by way of a robot or software program or otherwise, which we may determine if you have a conversion rate (which is defined as the percentage of clicks on a Special Link from your site in any given calendar month which results in the purchase of a Product) of less than one percent (1.0%). |
Maybe other warriors will have noticed other such crucial changes? Personally I'm safe as I still comply with all of these terms with no problem, but I thought it was important to let you guys know that the deadline for fixing this is a week from now.
