Amazon Associates account closed - how do I challenge

Amazon Associates account closed - how do I challenge

Hi everyone,

My Amazon Associates account was just closed. The reason they gave was that they said my content is not original. And they gave as an example the URL of my home page. However, all the content on my site is completely original. I have written all of it. I have been very careful not to either cut and paste or repeat text from other sources. I have been careful also to write any profile post on social media sites differently than on my own site.

They say I can resubmit a request to join again when I have fixed the problem. But there is no problem to fix. Since I use Amazon links for books which I review and are very relevant to my site I am not sure I could replace these with Barnes and Noble links for example and have any success - who buys from Barnes and Noble? I am also careful to write all reviews myself, no plagiarizing or copying.

Ready to put this into action?
