Amazon store on Blogger, is it legal?

    I have started to use blogger to build my amazon stores on early January. I have earn around $50 in January and already earn $100 till today in February.

    I believe the collaboration between Amazon and Blogger will give a huge success.

    But the problem is, is it against Amazon or blogger TOS? I'm afraid if my blogs closed by blogger, I'll loose all my hardwork.

    Please share your experience mate.

    If you are just using product links, or widgets, I don't see why not, but if you are making money, why keep risking it ?
    Spend $20 and get yourself a blog that you actually own, and you can do what ever you want.

    The reason why I use blogger isn't about the $20 buck. I've already use several hosted wp blogs to build my amazon store too.

    But I prefer blogger, because:
    - blogger easily crawled by google
    - blogger don't need any plugins like wordpress to be optimized
    - blogger have close to zero downtime
    - sub domain from "blogspot.com" that have very high PR and authority
    - safe from injection / hacks / deface

    90% of my amazon earnings is from my blogger blogs.

    True. Blogger is easy and you don't have to do anything, or be creative, but you do not own it. You can't customize it, and you have no control over it's operation.

    The only good thing about that list is piggy backing off of the blogger domain, the other stuff is pretty simple to attain if you put a little effort into it.

    I'm not saying blogger is no good, but when it comes to my money, I want to own the store and have total control, not just squat on a coop space.

    Blogger can change the rules at anytime...and then what happens to your income ? You loose it.

    Don't sweat it. I've seen much wackier things done with blogger blogs that have not been shut down. I know Amazon won't care, and I don't see any reason Google/Blogspot would either.
