Thread: Amazon ban paid search referrals

Amazon appear to have banned all referrals that are created from paid search engines such as Adwords. This means that you can no longer, for example, pay to be high up on a keyword on a search engine, using your Amazon referral to link to Amazon. However, it does seem that you can still pay to link to your site with Amazon ads on it, which is good news for the majority of webmasters.

As of May 1, 2009, these paid search Associates will not be paid referral fees.

I did not know you are allowed paid referral in the first place, most affiliate programs ban it.
