Amazon Affiliate Programs Changes

[IronBots]

I've been seeing low click numbers for a week, and I spoke with Amazon support. They informed me that promotions made through Twitter and Reddit are no longer considered valid, which is why the clicks have decreased, and if I continue to promote from these accounts, my account will be banned. However, every time I talk to Amazon Associates, I get different information, so I'm not quite sure I trust this. Has anyone else in this program been affected by this situation?

TLDR: According to what they say, Amazon will no longer count clicks from Reddit.

Create a blog > send traffic to blog.

It's risky but you might be able to cloak the link. Setup a dummy wordpress, link to your own doman from reddit and 301 to Amazon. I haven't done it before. So try at your own risk.

Amazon is cracking down on this, if your website doesn't work you'll get ban hammered.

Setup a landing page then.

Redirect > When they click buy now to Amazon.

You'll have to test and adjust to see what does/doesn't convert.

They 100% are my account manager messaged me to let me know one of my websites was down and if I planned on bringing it back online.

What is the best way to past reddit traffic to amazon? Now Reddit is really tough to even post a website link.
