ok I got a word back from Amazon.
The mail was that support representative that I contacted made them revise the website and they found more original content than they originally percieved. So my website is Amazon Affiliate again, thanks to Amazon support.
My thoughts about this:
I think they for some reason quickly reviewed a review or two and thought that was a whole site. My intuition is that they then thought that a website with just 2-3 pages is there to hunt easy Amazon money with spamming the internet and blackhat methods or something like that. Although they might be thinking something about reselling according to the mail, not sure. When they saw that site actually had much more content, they then reapproved me. Meybe I am wrong, who knows. But I am pretty sure they had to miss majority of the content on my website, since it is enough of it and it is original. At least this is the feeling I got from the conversation with representative.
In general, I am glad to be back in business and that everything was resolved thanks to their support service.
But, another thing gives me food for thought about the whole business strategy of all the affiliates. He said, as I mentioned in previous posts is that Amazon can reject you from their program if they think your content is not quality enough. Imagine, sometime in the future they can decide to be more strickt on content of the affiliates and decide that your content is not quality enough, not enough personal, etc. and simply reject you after you have been their affiliate for a while. And take all your current earnings with them! Amazon affiliate sites are big player's bitches - dependent completely on Google and Amazon. One of them changes their policy and you are out of business... Even if you have multiple sites, if you used same methods, your business is based on weak formations. This is not anything new, but worth considering if your income depends entirely on niche affiliate websites.
I will gladly remain their affiliate, but I guess I should be cautious about their possible policy changes...
