Basic Introduction

Use our Amazon affiliate account to create an Amazon product link on your own independent website, link the best-selling products on the Amazon platform to your own independent website, and let our customers click to jump to Amazon to purchase. Once the transaction is successful, Amazon will return the platform commission of 4% to 8.5% of the transaction to our Amazon affiliate account.

Commission

If a user clicks on your link, within 24 hours, if he does not click on other recommended links and purchases any product on Amazon, you can earn an affiliate commission of 1%-7%.

condition

1. Have your own independent website

You only need one of the two

Affiliate Marketing Methods

(3) Carefully check whether the product listing is suitable, such as fit, quality, weight, etc.

(4) From the “Also Bought” product entry

2. Keyword Research

(1) Look at the popularity of products/keywords

(1) Consider using keywords as website names or domain names

Summary of reasons why Amazon affiliate accounts are blocked

1. Forgetting to add your website to the Amazon Affiliate Dashboard

Amazon will not track this click every time, but once an order is generated on your website and you have not added this website to the Amazon Alliance backend, your account will be blocked.

2. Use Amazon’s Buy Button & URL

Amazon has made this point many times: using the Amazon logo or placing direct URLs on buttons is not allowed. Amazon will block any affiliate website that places the same yellow Amazon buy button.

Just use regular text like this: Click Here to Check Current Price

3. Mention the price of your product

Don’t mention product prices on your affiliate website.

Sometimes, someone will write a very detailed review of a $350 DSLR camera, with the title "Good DSLR Cameras Under $400", but they don't know that a month later, the price of the DSLR camera increases to $510, Amazon detects it, and then the account is blocked.

4. Using cloaked links

What is a cloaked link? A cloaked link is a method of hiding your original link through certain means, which is a SEO black hat technique.

5. Send Amazon Affililate link via email

You can continue to do email marketing, but you need to divide it into two steps. You can ask people to visit your affiliate website first, and then they may click on the link to the Amazon website. But remember, you cannot put the Amazon affiliate link directly in the email!

6. Send Amazon Affiliate links through Facebook page

Amazon customer service has said before that the Facebook page and the website belong to the same owner, so the Facebook page can be used and you can share the link on your Facebook page.

7. Send Amazon Affiliate links through e-books

This method is similar to Facebook page and email, but it is best not to share your affiliate link through e-books.

8. Copy Amazon

Amazon doesn’t like duplicate content, especially if you just copy the information or FAQ section of a product page and put it on your website without changing anything.

9. Use your affiliate link to buy directly

This is against Amazon's policy. As an affiliate, your job is to guide people to buy things on Amazon. But at the same time, don't think that you need something and you will earn a commission if you buy it using the affiliate link.

10. Disclose Amazon Affiliate Revenue

On the same affiliate site, don’t disclose your income.

11. The website uses pirated content (such as downloading pirated music)

Remember one thing: never try to get people's attention by using pirated content.

12. Offer Rewards

You can’t tell people that if they buy $100 on Amazon through your link, you’ll give them $3 back. In fact, you can’t tell consumers that you’ll give them a prize if they buy something on Amazon. The purchase has to be natural.

13. Promotional content/gambling

Amazon has strong management over adult products, and the affiliates do a good job in this area. Amazon has said on other occasions that they don’t like sexual content or gambling.

14. Targeting minors under 13 years old

Your website's content must be targeted at people 13 or older. You can't build a website and your potential customers are under 13. Amazon probably wants kids to be outdoors, not online.

15. Use Amazon’s Images

You can download images from Amazon to review products, but you can’t do much with them. You can crop the image, but don’t edit it too much. I recommend you avoid adding/removing content from the image.

16. Not mentioning that this is an affiliate site

You need to mention that you are an affiliate on every page of your website. You can state it in the navigation menu or at the bottom of the website.

register

Taking the US site as an example, the registration address is: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/

Step 2: Click "Join Now for Free" to enter the new user registration interface

If you have or have registered an Amazon.com account, click “I am a returning customer”, enter your email and password, and then use this account to directly apply to join the Amazon Alliance.

If you have not registered before, fill in your email address, select "I am a new customer", and click "Sign in using our secure server" to enter the new user registration interface.

Step 3: Fill in your personal information

One thing to note here is that you have to make sure that the address is where you can receive it, otherwise it will be troublesome if you cannot receive the advertising fee check. Of course, this is not the only payment method.

Then fill in the website or blog address of your alliance, make sure your website is only open to children over 13 years old (select NO, because your website is for all ages), go to the next step, fill in the basic information of the website, mainly title, URL, description, category, etc.

The last step is to enter the verification code, so remember to fill in +86 in front of your mobile phone number so that you can receive calls from the United States. Note that there is a PIN code below. Enter it when the call comes, and you can successfully register.
