Permanently Closed Marketplace Sales Thread

Summary
For the review, I asked the seller to set up a fresh Amazon account so that we could test this service. The details of my review are below.

Service Information

• The review went on a little longer than expected while due to some timing issues (both of us had to be online at the same time so that I could confirm some details).
• I confirmed that the account was fresh prior to the seller starting the review. Once the seller finished, he sent me a screenshot showing proof of earnings from the traffic. I logged into the Amazon account to confirm this as well.
• So the traffic comes from blogs, review sites, and traffic the seller buys from third-parties. The traffic is from the USA.

For buyers: The quality of the product or service that I receive is what you should expect, or better. If you feel that the quality of the service has dropped significantly, please let us know via the report button.

Question; "We are offering a traffic service that is highly targeted and converts pretty well for products in the women fashion niche"

Is this the only niche you supply traffic in ?

One question, if it works for amazon US. Any possiblitiy it work for ecom niche? if not, why?

You’ve got my attention..
Though something hooky / BlackHat is going on in the background.
So a site, say a page with a title “20 Slimming Dresses that makes you look a dress size smaller” would work well?

this bit was put there mainly for clients who might want to try out our traffic service on other ecommerce websites, it will convert on other women fashion niched ecommerce website but not as well as it does on amazon, we cannot guarantee it so we don't recommend it. since amazon pays advertising fees for all qualifying purchases and not only for the product you advertised, it doesn’t matter what niche your are promoting products on, this traffic will convert. that is a guarantee

yes there is a possibilty that it would work for ecommerce in the women fashion niche that is not amazon but it is not a guarantee so we don't recommend it. i guess the reason would be that this traffic source trust the brand name AMAZON.

i wouldn't say anything hooky / Blackhat is going on in the background. our traffic is from different sites (coupons sites, deal sites, review sites..).All traffic is from users interested to buy and shop online from USA , so we just send them to your Amazon Associates (USA) link and it converts because we get them at a point where they are ready to shop,amazon just converts very well because it is amazon.

please note: sending this traffic to any other website that is not amazon is not guaranteed to convert so we do not recommend it, do that at your own discretion.

hm... so, you are sending traffic from your page to straight to Amazon product page bypassing my website ? If Amazon analyses my traffic they will see that none of the visitors came from my website?

Is it within TOS to send traffic directly thru amazon affiliate link?

Interesting!

So you send traffic directly to our amazon affiliate link? Won't that get you banned on amazon because you are sending traffic not from your approved sites?

Is the traffic sent to my website?

Nope, it's completely against Amazon's terms of service and they will close your account:

All Special Links must be accessed directly from your site.

Don't make it sounds too easy...you need to have a website in place to make this work from what I see?

This method is effective, but not sustainable. I onced tried to send PopAds traffic to my eBay link. Daily commission numbers were amazing for a few days, but one week later I ended up receiving a letter informing me that my promo methon was in violation of ToS and I never received my earnings ....

I don t see any reason for a website to be in place if they send traffic to the affiliate link and no product research is needed i would have websites where to place an amazon aff link just to have it live and working, though.. if that s all they need

One possible way (I would need to double check Amazon's terms) is to have a proper affiliate site and then use redirect links e.g. hxxp://bestbabytoys.com/out/amazing-rattle-toy which has a 301 to your Amazon affiliate link. You then set up your shortener and link it to the redirect link on your site.

The above method is the only way I can see this might work, as the referrer will appear as your legitimate affiliate site. However, Amazon is probably going to see through this so quickly.

The reason Amazon will not allow direct linking is because people would spam the crap out of their products.
