Amazon Images
Ok, so as per Amazons Terms and Conditions, you may well find that when writing a product review you can only use the designated image that Amazon supplies. Unless you can find any other images that have the necessary copyright license to use, this can be a problem, especially if you are reviewing a particular brand and have not actually bought the product to review.
I had this problem with my first review I wrote - http://thecotbedssite.com/tutti-bambini-katie-mini.... I spent hours trying to find relevant images to use that wouldn't get me into trouble. My solution - I emailed the company to ask if I could use the images on their site as they advertised on Amazon also. I explained that this would be mutually beneficial for all parties and within a couple of hours I received a response saying that this was perfectly acceptable and if they could do anything more to help my promotions.
Great result.
I am not sure that this will work every time, but I have found that for me, on this occasion, it has.
Now to add those extra images.
Best of success to you all my fellow WA'ers - Martyn

There are many spammers out there trying to leverage income away from legitimate businesses, so I dare say that many are dubious. If you can show transparency and give them links to your site and tell them your intentions, I can't see why they won't agree. I guess it depends on the company
Thank you for the great idea. I should imagine that most companies will jump at free advertising of their products.
