So frustrated
Hi everyone, I am just feeling so frustrated, after all the effort I put on reviewing Amazon Products and made 3 sales, Amazon send me an email today that my associate account has been cancelled. The reason being that I haven't made any unique sales. I really don't know why they didn't considered the 3 sales I made.
Now back to zero on all the Amazon links on my site :(

That means that customers did not buy products that you recommend but something else on Amazon. People need to buy 3 products that you recommend to make unique sales.
Ooh, I see. Thank you much for the clarification Danijel, I was not aware. Of the three sales I made, only 1 was through my recommendation, which means I had only one sale. Now understood.
Is there any way to appeal against their decision, Ngonizdashe? It seems very harsh, considering you actually made sales! Best Alan
Definitely no way Alan. I am understanding something after this blog. The three sales I made, two was unrelated to what I promote and only one was from my review. Danijel mentioned above that all three sales must be from your recommendations, so maybe that's where I lost it.
I’m sorry for your bad news, I really does suck. Everyone else will say buck up, it’s not the end of the world. I say yell, scream, throw something (preferably not at the cat). You’ll feel better and then ... kept building your site for a month or two and reapply.
You will be able to resurrect those Amazon posts when you can put the links back, so all is not lost, just delayed.
My best wishes to you.
Thank you so much, Heidi, I will put the best of my effort in traffic building and SEO, just praying I will be quick to bounce back
That is bad news, BUT, there are other affiliate options out there, or you could create your own ; 0
You can always reapply to the program and this time you're going to make it.
What do they consider as a unique sale?
I second this. It happened to me and it was frustrating for sure. I reapplied and ended up doing the work to reset the links too. Just reapply and try again, that's where I'm at.
Just learning that all the three sales must be from your reviews/recommendation. I was absolutely not aware of that
That is really sad but there is life after Amazon. You can join Google AdSense for now and put adverts on your website. There are many affiliates that are earning big exclusively through Google AdSense. All the best.
When a door closes another door opens! There will be more opportunities to have wonderful fruits!!!

Yes, it is frustrating, but read the following : Kicked out of Amazon Affiliate Program after 180 Days? It might help.
Have a nice weekend
Wow, that's great news for me, I thought I had to wait for a long time before reapplying. Thank you so much, Anne, I am a bit relieved after reading your blogs
