Pinterest + DIRECT Amazon Affiliate Links

intop · Sep 17, 2019

Hello,

Two simple Question:

ONE:
Today in 2019... have any problems or Ban to make some Pinterest Account with ALL PINS POST DIRECT TO AMAZON AFFILIATE LINKS ??
Without own domain as intermediary, no any landing page and no link shorteners. Only real and direct link affiliate to Amazon per pin.

TWO:
Amazon affiliate regulations let you link directly from pinterest ? No any problem with this?

Thanks!

Oh no.. don't do that

BrandingCat · Sep 17, 2019

I think you will get double ban,but you will be definitely banned on pinterest as I am fairly new with amazon affiliates.

I have seen accounts doing that, but they merge between random pins and amazon affiliate pins

I have read the regulations of pinterest and amazon and I don't see where the ban can be.

Thanks ahmdhoshan. I have asked the question because I have also seen several accounts in Pinterest with thousands of outbound links direct to Amazon with no any personal domain to redirect or landing page. The accounts that I have seen have at least 90% of their content with links to Amazon but I don't know if they will stand in time without blocking.

A matter of time.
If your income exceeds a certain amount (in my case it was $1000, but may be $100), an Amazon employee will check your traffic. Then you get a ban and lose the money you earn.

Thanks Astraport! You earn more tan $1000 per month o per day? I want to understand that it is a month?

but... I have read the conditions of amazon and I have not seen any problem to put direct links from pinterest. When they banned you from Amazon what answer they gave you ? you know why ?

you are right... conversion rate will also be very very less which will trigger for manual review...

Don't forget to add a profile in your amazon account, as far as Pinterest goes, chances are 50-50.

Don't even bother doing it, you'll get banned if you are linking directly without a website or using your influencer link. One of my accounts was banned for doing this so I wouldn't recommend you to do it.

From Amazon website:

Which Social Networks Can You Share On?
You can share on social networks where your readers are, including Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. For any channel, you choose to share on, make sure to review the rules of each one, so that you’re familiar with what they allow as well. It’s required that each account you intend to share from being listed in your Associate's profile before sharing (more on this later). The following are the basic criteria requirements:

The network is public and widely accessible and does not require access through paid applications. Anyone should be able to access it or view it without requiring special permissions (more information later on discussion groups and forums)

You are the sole moderator of the account that you plan to post to, and otherwise compliant with the OA and Program Policies

Is there a social network not mentioned above that you are looking into? Contact customer service for more information.

Pinterest allows affiliate links, that's sure, they banned them a lot of time ago but now they are allowed

So I think that it's not a problem from both parts but I would contact them just to be sure

official clarification
https://amazon-affiliate.eu/en/affiliate-links-allowed-pinterest/

Affiliate Links on Pinterest
In the past, Pinterest removed Affiliate Links from its platform because spammers were abusing them. Now that Pinterest’s spam detection system is more sophisticated, Affiliate Links are back. This means you can earn money by Pinning your favourite products and recommendations from affiliate networks and getting clicks on those Pins.

Using your own AssociateID or TrackingID, you can post as much affiliate content as you like – just as you would on your website or other channels.

Astraport you take it wrong. you were banned for something else.

I think if it was not true they would delete it

This article runs counter to the latest Amazon rules. For example, you cannot post static prices for goods.

In short, Amazon doesn’t want you to open an account with them solely to promote affiliate links on Pinterest!

Yes, you can go for it. Image with your amazon affiliate link. But before going for it go to Amazon affiliate support and ask them to add your Pinterest account as your own property in your Amazon dashboard.

Note: Do not use a paid promotion on an account where you have direct affiliate links placed.
