Hello Everyone,

This is a PSA and especially urgent for those who are working hard and placing Amazon links on their websites. Some of you may have been aware, but I was not... until now. So, in order to help avoid problems and minimize the time spent placing the wrong links on your sites, I'm sharing the response from Amazon. Here you go....

Hello

On November 1, 2023, two of the SiteStripe features “Image” and “Text+Image” will no longer be available. Links created on your site using Image and Text+Image will stop working December 31, 2023. Please remove them from your content as soon as possible if you have not already done so to avoid broken images on your site. Please note that standard text links from SiteStripe will continue to be available and work appropriately.

Videos, product images, and reviews written/created outside of Amazon .com, including professional reviewers, authors, publishers and customers, are copyrighted by others. We display them on our site by permission from those third parties. Amazon .com doesn't have the legal right to give you permission to access, use, or display them.

If you wish to use Amazon.com's product images on your website, you may obtain them by creating Product Links on Associates Central or through Product Advertising API. Customer product reviews are also available through Product Advertising API. Your use of product images and reviews obtained through Product Advertising API is limited by the terms of the Associates Program IP License Product Advertising API License Agreement, which is available here:
