Amazon Dumped Me!
How does their affiliate program really work? I made all the qualified sales like I was requred to and then I got an email stating my application was denied! I've been with them since January! I am so aggravated and disappointed at this point I just don't know how to handle this!!

Ohh sorry about the news, I'm worried I may be next!
Take care and find another affiliate program.
Tons of businesses and hoping you choose them.
Mahalo!

I would send off an email explaining the situation, they may reconsider. They have been getting better in recent months, ask why you were denied and see what is going on.
If not, this is a bump in the road. You can move on to better things, there is a lot of alternatives out there.
Don't feel remorse, Amazon dumps everyone that haven made any sales. Anyway, you can get back on at a later date.
Like they said, you can re-apply. But next time, be sure you abide by all their rules. Please check what violations you got.
I've been dumped by Amazon as well. I got taken by a scam that put me on Amazon, and had no idea how to write any content or do anything with the website. So of course I had no traffic, and they kicked me off. I have contacted them about reapplying now that I know how to build my website, but I have to have 3 sales and they would prefer 100 traffic before I apply again. GRRR!
I am in the process of researching other affiliate programs in my niche to use while I'm building the traffic to reapply to Amazon.
Good luck.

They do have a lot of rules and regulations. And some of them are hard to follow. One of these may have been the problem. But I know several people have said that they used Amazon many different times. Amazon dropped them then they reapplied.
You can always reapply. I had to reapply 3 times and then after finally getting 2 more than the required sales, I received the acceptance letter.
Not the end of the world.There are plentg more sffiliatd programs.llus you csn aplly again.
My understanding is that you have to convert 3 sales in the first 6 months or they terminate you. Even if you hadn't made a single conversion (since you joined in January) that shouldn't happen, it seems. I hope you get a better explanation for this. Maybe a mistake on their end.
Hope this gets sorted out for you, Brad
I made 6 qualifying sales and they claim my URL is bad or my site is under construction. I don't understand! 90% of my posts/pages are indexed by Google. I haven't even received my commissions yet. I did send an email wanting an explanation and I also re-applied. I work on my website daily and add content to it weekly. I've read and over-read their rules. This is frustrating to me.
Early on, I received an API key which is only for approved affiliates, so to me that tells me I was approved at one time. That is the confusing part.
