Amazon affiliate question

[gipulvorka]

Can I write the product price in a single product review article? Is it allowed in amazon affiliate?
I will mention that the price is subject to change with time

No you are best not mentioning prices. Use terms like inexpensive, mid priced, budget etc etc

Use the API from Amazon to pull off live prices.

Thanks

Years back I used to go to the manufacturers website to find the MRP and would quote that as;
" At the time of writing the XYZ is comes with a manufacturers recommended price of $599.99"

Which was fine while Amazon sold it for $499 but you looked bad ( IMO ) when Amazon price was $699 and your article still showed $599.99

I stopped doing this though, personally.

Personally I also avoid mentioning prices as they keep changing. But for new product releases some top websites mention prices. So, I just was curious about what would be better.

They'll be pulling prices direct from Amazon, plus they'll have several staff updating the sites etc I imagine.
