They said yes, but they sent me payment. I guess they didn’t manage to cancel it or something

Commission rates on Amazon could be better, but conversions are excellent.
I tried share a sale, but not even close to Amazon...
In the end, for me the winning combination are display ads + Amazon aff. links...

Just a doubt: I have always known that Amazon's rules are quite restrictive .... is it therefore possible to do DIsplay Ads + Amz Affiliate Links?
Can you explain a little more?
Thank you

Well, I always clearly state that the link is toward the Amazon and that the link is affiliate.
Also, i use amazon search ads a lot.
I never use images from Amazon, but i take them from the manufacturer pages even if they are the same - no brand will tell you anything when you are writing reviews about their products and when you try to make few sales.
I never copy text from the amazon product pages - all reviews are original.
But, because of google, I also try to write info articles with no Amazon links, best of type of articles with tables (for examle, if there is a column with Amazon links, it is clearly stated as "amazon links", and after the table there is note that the Amazon links are affiliate), and similar.
Personally, when there is a note that the link is toward the Amazon, people will click it more often... IMHO of course...
And Amazon don't mind if you mix other affiliate programs with theirs (but you have to write down for example walmart aff link and similar) and if you use display ads, for example, google adsense, mediavine, adthrive and similar...
Just my 2c...

that means that if you want make money by Amazon, you have to drive the traffic from somewhere else and not from Google - or change something when choosing the topics for your articles.
Also, if you know a better affiliate program than Amazon, please, speak up
IMHO, it is not only about commissions, it is about commissions (not good), conversions (great), people wanting to spend money (good), etc.

So you have one or more sites on which you publish reviews of products sold on Amazon .... unique and quality texts ..... Many like me are probably wrong in this .... that is, publishing the same data as Amazon .. .. so unoriginal content
Then through the ads you bring the traffic to your pages, where the user knows that clicking certain links will go to amazon .... all in the light of the sun.
In this way then Google can not say anything to the contrary?
Two questions:
1) On which platforms do you advertise?
2) Have recent google updates (from May onwards) also affected this type of site?

I'm in the process. I'll post as soon as I find it. There are better alternatives, although it all depends on the niche and the product.

Why can't people drive traffic from Google? I see plenty of with ads for amazon list websites. Most of those websites use descriptions, images, ratings from amazon products. I know that you can't bid on amazon trademarks keywords like: amazon, kindle, etc..

I drive traffic from Google only via SEO, nothing else.
One of the sites was hit by the May update, but not much - most of the articles are info type of articles, but there are also reviews.
two other sites were hit by April and July/August review updates - in April, they started to lose traffic slowly, and on August 1, sharp loss of 60-70% of Google traffic ... that just shows us not to put all eggs in one basket
also, we should not spread ourselves too thin - for short, balance is the key
regarding an affiliate program that can match Amazon, I would really like to hear more about it...

It will be hard today making good money every month as amazon affiiate, you se eon many products amazon has very impressive product reviews on it.
Do you can do that job better?
or do you have the writing skills a la Jan Roos ?
or you have the seo skills like babylist(com) website? They started their company with $650.000, where they got this money, bank loan ? Bank gives you a credit for an affiliate business? (yes when you can give them mortgage on your house....)
They rank for a hefty career baby toddler keyword in google on #1 this keyword has millions of search volume.
