Using Pop Under to promote Amazon products as an Affiliate

by RichMarketer

Hello expert warriors.

I am wondering whether Amazon allow us to promote their products using pop under?

The reason I ask, I have bought a wp theme where if visitors click any of the link inside the website, we can setup a pop under to promote any website. Thinking of utilizing the feature to promote amazon products as an affiliate.

Hope to get any views?

Cheers !

    No, they do not. I am 99% sure.

    They don't allow any CPV or PPV last time I checked.

    This would probably work well.

    If the pop-under opens with your affiliate link and sets a cookie then that is considered 'cookie stuffing' and will get your Amazon account banned.

    You cannot auto-open a window using an affiliate link. The customer must deliberately click on your affiliate link and go to Amazon.

      My first instinct is to say no they don't allow it, but I don't think this is what the poster had in mind?

      If someone hit my site, and a popunder window loaded with a description of a product and my link (no cookie stuffing, no redirects etc...) I'm not sure what would be wrong with that? The user would still have to click the link to be redirected. I probably wouldn't bother to take the time to find out, but if the OP does and it turns out to have a super awesome CTR - PM me

        No, indeed. Neither am I.

        I was rather surprised by the replies above, and am wondering whether the OP actually meant something different from what all those comments appear to address.

        I'm no expert on Amazon terms of service, policies and procedures and can easily be wrong, but I'm struggling to see any problem with what the OP outlined, here.

        We need a post here from Gaz Cooper or someone who knows all this stuff back-to-front and in his sleep ...

    I would be careful doing unorthodox marketing methods with Amazon.

    Reason being; they have a draconian ban structure, meaning if they ban you, you're done.

    Hate to be a curmudgeon, but it's just my $.02.

    I think that it is risky. You never know what is going to get you banned.

    Really folks, this stuff isn't difficult to find if you exercise just a little bit of due-diligence when joining a program.

      I'd quite like to know Amazon's view on this question, myself, but I can't find it on their site. I find it very difficult to find, in this instance, Tom. Even after reading your reply and clicking on your link.

      You may be right. Some people think a sliding-up "pop-under" is a pop-up, but other people think it isn't. It's ambiguous, at best. It's actually far from clear that 'sliding-up things' were within the intention of whoever wrote that sentence, isn't it?

      I'm not suggesting that this proves anything, of course, but I've certainly seen this technique in use.
