    Hi guys ...

    Will it be my first Amazon sale if I'll purchase a book by clicking my own affiliate link ?

    Thanks

    self purchases, family etc don't earn commission and are against the terms of service you agreed to when you signed up.

    Sometimes my own purchases show up (I use Amazon a lot for my own shopping) ... I never do it on purpose, I think it's just my code is embedded in my computer from all of my affiliate work!

    I believe they subtract all of those self purchases from your commissions - but I don't think they consider it any serious problem. I think they realize how easy it is to do by accident.

    Yes it will be. but it's against the terms of service, usually this doesn't just apply to amazon, but to every affiliate program self purchase.

    That made me laugh. It's literally the SAME thing as clicking your own advertisements on your website. Idiots. :p
