Is is ok to promote Amazon products by PPC service

5 replies
I just made a website promoting Amazon Products and I am trying to get traffic by using PPC service through bing, advertise.com... I just read this Amazon associate agreement from Amazon. I am not sure if it is ok to promote Amazon product through ppc service. Can someone help to clearify it? Thanks,

"Prohibited Paid Search Placement" means an advertisement that you purchased through bidding on keywords, search terms, or other identifiers (including Proprietary Terms) or other participation in keyword auctions. "Proprietary Term" means keywords, search terms, or other identifiers that include the word "amazon," "Kindle," "myhabit," or "Javari," or any other trademark of Amazon or its affiliates ( see a non-exhaustive list of our trademarks), or variations or misspellings of any of those words (e.g., "ammazon," "amaozn," "kindel," and "javary"). "Redirecting Link" means a link that sends users indirectly to the Amazon Site via an intermediate site or webpage and without requiring the user to click on a link or take some other affirmative action on that intermediate site or webpage. "Search Engine" means Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search or referral service, or any site that participates in any of their respective networks.

    It's OK if you send the PPC traffic to your own landing page that contains affiliate links. If you're buying PPC traffic and send it direct to Amazon products, they'll ban you.

    You mentioned that you are sending the PPC traffic to a website you own, so you are fine.

    However, make sure that you don't use their trademarked terms or misspellings in your PPC ads, even if the ads only link to your website and not directly to Amazon!

      There are products listed under "Product Ads from External Websites" Can I promote these products? Will I get commission from Amazon?

        No, you don't get commision from products on external websites. Only products purchased through Amazon.

    PPC traffic should be sent to your own landing page and never directly to a affiliate offer.
