TechEinstien yes many ppl use it and some of them get banned..

I would recommend you to switch to any other affiliate program for ex, aliexpress. Its doesn't convert as good as amazon but they are pretty lenient in such cases.

Your buy now button use Amazon's logo

I don't think it has anything to do with the button as the it clearly states "buy from amazon". My website uses this very same button and i've had no problems in the last 2 years.

You answered your own question. You used amazon word, you used "best price", you downloaded images. Use their api for images, use custom buttons and don't use "best price", use check price or something like that

USA282: sometimes it's not easy to sell something with amazon so with aliexpress it maybe extra hard..

It has everything to do with the button, you can not use buttons like that, amazon do have a few buttons you can use but they are dated and horrible looking.

OP Use text links its easier, Something like Check Price and Availability here

It does not matter that others might be getting away with it. You didn't so fix it.

But using api for images giving very small images. Should i have to reapply for application? or it is already applied?

 

[Tove]

You will have to reapply

You will have to reapply

I have created new id with different email id and also replaced all affiliate link with new one.

So, how should i re-apply?

You can also monetize your ecommerce traffic with Viglink, Skimlinks or Infolinks (they have super creative names.....). Essentially they are brokers between you and advertisers and they take a cut when a commission is made. In return they will geo locate your links, protect you from direct ban from advertisers and fix all "broken" links so no traffic will be wasted (more or less).

Basically, they're in the "we're screwing people" business.

I got the exact same email this morning on my first Amazon site. However, I don't have any buttons or pictures that have Amazon's logo.

I did have the sentence "with many 5 star reviews on Amazon" in one of my articles, but I just removed it.

Is something as small as that enough to be rejected?

The problem is your "call to action" button.

I know things have changed within the last few years in terms of the Amazon's approval process. Does anyone have a rough estimate as to how many pages, articles and or words at minimum Amazon would see as fit toward approval?

Write more informative content not affiliate contents..

This is the first step.. you should build affiliate content later on when your affiliate program is already approved..

Examples:

7 things you need to know in doing your assigments..

Did you know that a shark is one of the oldest species that lives the earth?


By writing this i am sure your affiliate program will be approved..

something like this.. maybe around 10 contents will do.. something what your site is all about or niche..

And also dont forget those permanent pages like about me,contact, pillar pages and etc..terms etc

Try it
