Adding affiliate links from Amazon Affiliate Program

I did some research on this topic concerning link shortener and Amazon policies and found following solutions:

1) according to the link shorter company Genius it is that Amazon wants to know where the referrer is coming from:

"Fortunately, if you use Geniuslink, we’ll always ensure that any referrer information is passed on to Amazon, so you won’t ever be cloaking or hiding the referral domain"

According to Geniuslink, it applies also for Pretty Link and other short link providers as long this information is included.

2) It is of upmost importance anyone following your links knows to be taken away from your website to the Amazon storefront!

If this information is missing in your shortlink you get punished.

3) ensure that you’re completely honest with your audience!

The main reason Amazon is really precise on this, is for the many scammers out there who misuse shortlinks to scam people...

It is important you read and study to know what is expected to be in the link.

So just saying not to use it is the easy way out, thinking out of the box means you do your research and find alternatives or you look it up yourself why this is, yes that will take time and is not always available around the corner, sometimes you need to analyze and try out things to see if it can bring you the solution, but this is the way of learning and growing and pay it forward.

I suggest you go and lookup that article i found at Genius link shortener website and read it through yourself as it contains much more information as I wrote here, I just gave you an overview that shortlinks are possible if you know what you are doing... :)

Here is your start, I will see over time if Amazon can be an asset for my project(s), for now I am not using this service, however your a bit "vague" question what you are looking for and the opposite meaning of SteveMand made me curious to look what is todays status in 2018 concerning making affiliate links to Amazon.

Let me know how it goes, let this started research not be in vain.

Thank You

Stefan :)

Please add your findings and comments below. :)

They provide you with links, once you sign up normally.

Use pretty link plugin to make it look cloaked, it is a part of the Bootcamp training in lesson 2.

Thanks tolinoli,
I was wondering the same thing!

I didn't refer to Amazon,

he wants to know how it for other companies is, at least that is his question.

If someone wants to know for Amazon, I expect the person writes that in his question.

Anyway, he needs to check that with each and every company then before using Pretty link.

That is the description and can also mean that is what he is currently doing and that is what I understood.

The question is:

How do I insert an affiliate link from another company?

I watched a couple of videos on how to create an email account within my website but it didn't show where to go to do this is the site within the WA or is it outside the WA dom


Watch this Robert. David

Once you have a website with your domain name hosted in WA (not a sub domain within siterubix.com as far as I am aware), select Site Rubix, then Site Manager. Near the top of the screen there is a Site Email option, click that and away you go.

According to GoDaddy website I can't transfer my domain to WA for 60 days since I just bought my domain name a couple of days ago at GoDaddy site what can I do now wait the 60

Hey Kat, I did talk to tech support and they showed me how to get hosted from GoDaddy to WA. Thats done I just wanted to do the transfer but according to GoDaddy I have to wait to do a complete transfer.

There is always a delay between buying a domain and transferring it, You have no choice but to wait. however you can point your dns to WA and buidl your site.

Mmm transfer of domain and hosting is not the same.

You can always redirect your site and have it hosted here (ask support to help you with that). Better wait to add to your site untill that is done

In the mean time you can do some testings on a rubix site first in cAse you are not so familiar wIth the wEbbuilding stuff

WA Affiliate Program

I would like to know if I upgrade to Premium Member do I pay for the entire year upfront or pay monthly payments?

From experience and observations I would suggest to pay yearly; There are times when frustration may set in and the temptation to make a hasty decision that you will eventually regret if you are serious about building an Online Business.Go yearly If you can afford it.

You can do both. You are being offered a choice. Annual membership fee comes out a bit cheaper.

Upgrade to premium member are they billed monthly?
