Well i guess that blaking refferer would solve the problem - for example using double meta-refresh.
Blanking the referrer is an option but am sure amazon would like to see where your traffic is coming from otherwise you probably risk getting banned for showing them where your traffic is coming from. As far as i am aware you are only allowed to promote amazons products on websites that you actually own so forum posting is really out of the question so i don't think you can turn this method white hat unless you own your own website.
Why not send them to your own site ?
The thing is though, if you had a build a niche site on product X and then recommend that on sites like mumsnet and it genuinely helps others, they're going to share that with their friends on social media. Mumsnet can be a gold mine if used properly, and doing a bit of work and making your own site is going to make you a lot more money over time.I would of but it takes time to build up traffic to your own site and i was looking to earn some quick money by forum posting which worked for a while until i got the ban hammer lol.
I've been doing affiliate marketing 10 years andi had no idea you couldn't post affiliate links on other people's forums and websites. I thought as long as the content is not spam and has context it was allowed. What if I put an amazon affiliate product in an email? I'm shocked. Click bank don't stop you from advertising items on sites you don't own as long as its relevant and not spam do they?Sending traffic to your affiliate link from properties (websites/forums) you don't own is a very good way to get your account banned for life...
