Would I still get commission from Amazon affiliates?

Hi guys,

I recently had a guest post published on another site and they allowed me to place affiliate links in the post.

I wanted to ask, would I still get commission from Amazon affiliates if my links are on another site?

Hi, as long as the affiliate link is under your affiliate ID, you will get the commission.

This question is actually ridiculous. Of course, your commissions will be credited to your account no matter where your affiliate links exist on the web as long as someone buys through your link.

As long as the site is correct according to Amazon`s ToS (site needs to have amazon disclaimer and so on) you will get commission. Otherwise you may get banned.

Cheers

lol... funny question. Whether it is your website or some other website doesn't matter. If there are sales commission, it will be credited to you

If a visitor buy anything through your Amazon aff, of course you will get commission!!

Ok thanks, since Amazon is always updating their terms and services, I just wanted to double check because they ask you to input your website URL into your affiliate account too.

This part is something I wasn't aware of.

That's interesting. Haven't done affiliate sales through Amazon in about 3 years, so I think this is relatively new. My links were not on a site I owned either. Doesn't Hubpages still allow Amazon affiliate links? Damn that sucks.

Guess they are cracking down. Good for them.

Amazon will pay you as long as your cookies are recorded. This part of the afreement is made to defend themselves from the cookie stuffing techniques.

Would I still get commission from Amazon affiliates?
