I have a youtube channel where I share the amazon link as follows: http://www.site.com/asin-number
Because the content of my channel is not allowed to monetize with Amazon Affiliates, so to hide the origin of the link, I redirect to the site that is registered with amazon associates and from there, I take the user to the product page.
However, somehow they are getting to my channel and banning my membership account. It seems strange to me that this happens, and it always happens very quickly, just a few days and they send me the link to my channel saying that my account has been banned.
My suspicion is that youtube itself, with its redirect link, must be taking the final URL and redirecting it directly to amazon, without going through the intermediate URL.
The url on youtube looks like this:
https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbm41Q1ZDNklSMmpLZ3lLcHdsYU02WmJjU3JnUXxBQ3Jtc0tuZmtlWVVzRDlzZFdxM0JKemtmN25rSlZHTi1LeDBncmlKVWtfU1FjVnVuazBJV0NtWERGR3ItYllNdXVJOWpVMGl3dHdLbERXb2w5SUJTdHVUMzNJaklMOGNoY3JzVTlXNHlXLWdtd0dqSkZ6Tkkybw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmysitee.com%2FB00J9OB9AS&stzid=UgyCi380JmPrmPcGde14AaABAg
What could be going on, does anyone have any suggestions?
What better way to prevent this from happening?
