Actually, I WAS putting the affiliate link directly in my Pinterest pin. And those links still work.
Then they did the makeover, and that changed the way the custom links worked. I don't know enough about coding to fix it.

You are correct about that. The ShareASale team is very responsive.

Amazon is one of the best, they also refer Clickbank, Clicksure, Commission Junction. I don't know anything about shareasale, but I intend to explore this program though.

Can you define "best product affiliates"?
Would that be:
1. highest commission rates?
2. best conversion rates?
3. in a specific niche?

I am with http://Awin.com, the affiliate network that acquired ShareASale, so I'm always glad to help answer questions about them.

I'd be happy to provide a link to join ShareASale for you. They are wonderful - I've worked with them for over a dozen years, even before I joined Awin.com or we acquired ShareASale. They have great merchants, great support, and great technology.

Thank you, Isabella. I have tried Clickbank and my application quickly went through. I will try Clicksure, as well.

Keep in mind those networks focus on digital downloads, so you need to constantly make sure that the programs are live and you are still linking to what you meant to link to. Merchant turnover there happens at a much higher rate than advertisers selling physical products. Clickbank affiliates often use PPC to promote, so you'll be competing with that as well if you choose their merchants.

Thank you so much, Jeannine, for your help. Now I can make better informed decisions. I joined ShareASale recently and noticed that there is so much going on. To be honest, I didn't know where to start from. Thanks for pointing me to different routes that I can use at ShareASale, having commissions, conversion and niche, in mind.

Thank you JeannineC, I am not ready just yet but I will ask you when I am. Thanks a lot. Sounds exciting...I would love to, maybe my next step as soon as I have worked on my backlog.

I like the look of it, too. But the custom links don't work like before. I just want it to be easy to work with my Pinterest pins. And the custom links were working just fine last night before the site update.....sigh....I was just getting used to it.
(boo hoo?)

The ShareASale team has now changed it so that you can get the links just the way you'd like them.

Pinterest doesn't like affiliate marketing and would rather you link directly to your website through your images, versus linking to an affiliate link.

That is likely why you are getting this and it can happen to totally legitimate programs (that are not spam) within certain social platforms.

I did send a ticket over to ShareASale, and hoping to hear from them soon

Hi Kyle, I see but they don't have to reject it as spam. They could have sent Judy a message.

I'm not with Pinterest anyway.

I went to my website to make sure my banner was fine and its good. I like the makeover also it looks clean and easier to navigate. It was 'too busy' and junky looking before.

Hi Judy, I hope so also and am sure they will resolve the issue.

If you haven't read it yet, in his comment Kyle mentioned how Pinterest doesn't like affiliate marketing, and wants you to link directly to your website through images.
