I am still getting commission from links in email. Will Amazon reverse the commission? I am really concerned.
I know many big sites who put links to Amazon inside their emails. e.g. Check out this great offer on Amazon. Or buy the book from Amazon. In my opinion this relates more to pretending to be Amazon or using their promotional material. This is the key line: That says to me your not allowed to use their "Special Link" i.e. their promotions or advertising material. But reading this again I am having doubts... I hate these things because they are never black and white Anyone else have any input?
Well I think they don't want anyone to use Amaozn Logo, trade mark or links because of SPAM reports. using a doorway page or site would be the best option.
I too have used links within email and have been paid commission from those linksBut now I am concerned too. Really hate it when these sections seem ambiguous. Amazon can conveniently interpret things the way they like, leaving one high & dry. Hope we can have more clarity on this.
