I'm trying to figure out what is permitted regarding using product photos directly from Amazon in my blog posts. Is it allowed and are there any limitations?
You are covered here, Robert!
Here are some Amazon plugins if you are interested in fetching an API (you would need to have attained the three sales in 180 days.)
Lasso
Geniuslink
Amalinkspro
Amimagemaster
AAWP
WP tasty

Hi - no, this is not possible unless you have met their sales target of 3 sales in your first 180 days.
And then you have to apply for their API Access key to be able to use them.

Use of product photos from amazon associates?
I'm trying to figure out what is permitted regarding using product photos directly from Amazon in my blog posts. Is it allowed and are there any limitations?
Hi Robert
Instead of using their API, I use a product photo directly from the manufacturer's site and a text link for my Amazon affiliate link. If you're concerned about Amazon's ad policy, you can separate the photo from the text link. You'll find that Amazon also gets many of its images from the manufacturer.
I ran a paid ad on Facebook to get my three sales on Amazon in 10 days. It cost me about $40. You don't have to depend on organic search traffic to your site. 😎

That's fabulous, Frank! Indeed, when creatively diversifying the sky, it's the limit. I hope they were great results! :)
Abie
Thanks, Abie! 🙏
Yeah, lots of workarounds in affiliate marketing to get the results we need! 😎
Frank 🎸
I love it, Frank! With creativity, there's multiple processes to discover new ideas :)
Abie
I approach affiliate marketing a lot like music, Abie - close enough for Rock n' Roll. Lol 😎
Frank 🎸
Haha! That's perfect, Frank!
It's funny you say that; I associate things with smelling... If it smells good, I would pursue it... But that doesn't work digitally! lol
LOLOLOL
Abie
Hahaha, Abie! 👍😎
My wife has an incredible sense of smell, which can sometimes be a bit annoying. Lol. It's a genetic thing that runs in her family from her mom.
Frank 🎸
Incredible lol
You should see how retailers and the general public look at me in shops. I keep everyone amazed with my senses.
Lol, I don't feel embarrassed at all.
I smell almost everything, lol
Abie
My wife smells everything in restaurants and stores, too! Lol. 😂
We have to use our unique and special talents to the max, Abie! 👍👍😎
Frank 🎸
Oh my God! Totally the same, lol
Can we be related? I have to find the equivalent digitally!
Then I am a winner lol
Abie
Thank you, Frank!
I learned to be bold and never settle, no matter how many milestones and winnings I attain. There's always room for improvement.
I appreciate the encouragement. 🙏🤗
Abie
My mentor does, lol. That's the person who pushes me to achieve more.
I talk with them regularly...
I sometimes feel I am not doing enough and must contain the situation. It is hard not to get frustrated at times.
Abie
That's the nature of what good mentors tend to do, Abie.
There can be a fine line between encouraging someone to do more with a positive result and achieving the opposite by pushing too hard, which can be discouraging. I learned that when I taught guitar.
I was raised to be able to support myself to the point where I could have a good life, but with work taking somewhat of a backseat to fun time. It's a typical Italian approach. Lol
However, I've always had a strong affinity toward a good challenge. 😎
Frank 🎸
This mentor is unique and unlike any other coach I have encountered. They are also my liaisons, as they also play a role in different functions.
I hear you, Frank!
I love challenges, too!
I think digitally, my strong focus would be vigilance, come to think about it now.
Abie
That sounds like an excellent find, Abie! 👍👍
Vigilance is a great trait to develop in all things! 😎
Frank 🎸
Thank you, Frank!
They've been my mentors for quite a while now. :) I am happy with the mentorship I am receiving, and it is going places.

I have one post that is over 2 weeks old, but not indexed as of yet.
Not all content will get indexed right away (and sometimes it won't at all). You can request to get indexed directly within Google Console though, and this can often times speed up the process. How to Request Indexing in Google (Through Search Console) Don't panic, and don't focus too much on trying to get any single post indexed. Your time is better spent investing that energy into creating more content, but requesting indexing for content that is lagging often times can do the trick (as I outlined in my video). :)
Google works on Google Time :) However, Kyle shared with you how to request indexing.
You can also work on your internal links. Better Internal Links in Wordpress Or write supplementary content to Medium(.)com and backlink to your posts. Alternatively, pin on Pinterest and strategically link back to your website.
You may not be far enough in the training yet! Once you learn how to use GSC it can be as quick as 72 hours but not all gets indexed especially starting out.

How long does it typically take for new website posts to be indexed by google?

When I look at your website, I see the post at the top of the home page.
I suspect it's just a caching issue. Clear the cache at WA and/or in your browser and it will probably appear for you.
