    I just signed up for Amazon to use at my site, GamerGlitch. I was wondering, are you allowed to use Amazon along with Adsense, or does that break Google's TOS. Also, are you allowed to tell users to buy through Your Site so you can Profit, sort of like an incentive deal. Thanks in advance

    That's not exactly the answer I was looking for.

    You can use AdSense with Amazon. You can't ask users to click your AdSense ads but you can ask them to use your Amazon shop/links but I'm not sure if Amazon allows incentives.

    I would check Amazon's TOS about the incentive thing, but I don't see how it would be any different than all the affiliate marketers who offer bonus content for buying clickbank products through their links (I know it's a different site, but same dealy).

    I guess it depends. Are you actually thinking of offering them some kind of bonus gift for buying through your link?

    No, I would just say support the site by buying through amazon and then have the affiliate link.

    I agree. No conflict between Amazon and Google. Google simply says no other 'contextual' ads. Amazon is not that.

    On the 'directing users' issue - I'm not sure. You would need to read the Amazon TOS. BUT - Given that it's CPA, I doubt they would care one bit...

    Alright, thanks for all the replies. I'll check out the Amazon TOS.
