Amazon Affiliates Question
Good morning all,
I signed up to Amazon Affiliates a while ago now and am waiting on the dreaded email saying they are going to suspend my account because I've not yet received any sales! The problem I am having is that I've used all of their pictures for my site. So my question to you is will I have to stop using the pictures if I am no longer an affiliate for them?
Thanks to all who reply!
Have a great day.

Good question. I think Autumn56 gave you a response. I have been holding back from applying because I don't have enough traffic yet. I will be curious if they let you reapply and if they approve again. If so, I will go ahead and apply too.
If you get the dreaded email, just reapply =) I think it is just a way for them to weed out accounts that are inactive and remain inactive over time. You do plan on eventually making a sale so just reapply if you hit the 90 days and they close it. Then you can keep your pictures! but yes in theory the stuff you take from amazon should only be used if you are promoting the product through amazon.
to the best of knowledge there is no reason you can't, plus if they approved your site the first time in ninety days your site will be that much better (Assuming you actually keep working on it!) so be optimistic and get working on it silly
Thanks autumn! I am working on my first review that is going to promote a product off amazon and I was wondering if I can just copy the product image off amazon. From your comment, I understand the answer is yes. Is that correct? I am an amazon associate/ affiliate member. Thanks!
Yes you can =). they already have an agreement with the owners of all those pictures that their affiliates can use them to promote without any problems.

I think we all go through that dreaded e-mail. Let us know if you decide to reapply. I think once they do that to me, I'll wait for more traffic though. Keep us posted.
thanks for replying! yes Ill let you know how I get on. Have a great day :)
