Can you use a subdomain for your affiliate link that forwards to Amazon? Maybe put up a subdomain link that goes to a legit affiliate page and then later change it to forward to the affiliate page on Amazon.
What's a Subdomain? I'm trying to use Blogger right now but I suck at it. I really wish I could just mask the links I enjoy posting pictures on Pinterest. I really wish I could just post the links to Pinterest or something. I really need help with this stuff. I'm new to all of to. I'm good at posting pictures on Pinterest and I actually enjoy it. I wish I could figure out how to make money off of it.

Go buy a go daddy domain them.. they are on sale for .99 cents, seen the deals on the forums. have them land to that page and then refer back to your affialite site.

Create a site that contains your amazon links. It can be free site like blogger, weebly, tumblr, wordpress, etc. Or buy a domain and hosting. Your choice. Then pin the images from your site to pinterest. When users click your pins, they will be redirected to your site. Then hope and pray that they click your amazon affiliate links so youll get commission when they purchase something in amazon. Hth

Thanks for all the replies I understand what to do now! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your help! I have one more question though. I have a Blogger and I'm new to it and don't quite understand how it works but is there a way to make it to where when someone clicks my link on Pinterest it will take them to my Blogger or some other page for a split second to bypass Pinterest's stripping of the Amazon Affiliate link then immediately redirect to my Amazon link? Thanks for the help guys!

I can give you some domain I don't use, so you may use it for a while if you want.
If was to use one of these sites what kind of stuff would I post on it? A variety of things? Or would I just stick to one topic? How do you bring free traffic to these sites? Is it true small niche sites do the best? I'm particularly interested in electronics like computers and video games. I don't have every gadget out there to write reviews on though. What could I do with this interest?

ive tried many ways to mask my links. in a few weeks, they get removed. i had hundreds uppon undreds of pics. all removed. the safest way is to put ur domain in ur pics, then have ur visitors click ur links on ur domain. no other waay. pinterest r soooo stingy lol.

You need your Pinterest account, a blogger account, and your amazon aff links.
Add a "pin it" button to all your blogger pages. (google it to get your pin it button, very easy)
Then Post your pics and aff link on your blogger post. have to make sure it looks nice
Go to each post/page and start pinning your pics to pinterest.
Hope they click on your post links.
A little black hat trick to override pinterest would be to do a auto redirect from your post/page to your amazon aff link.
You would have to get the the edit blog html page for your blogger page and then post in the redirects to your amazon page manually. This of course could be violating the tos but i have done it in the past and never been banned..
Just a thought on how to get around pin aff link issue for you...
