6. Using Amazon reviews as your own
I was also very guilty of this as I started affiliate marketing. I used to take a screenshot from the user testimony and the beautiful star rating system that Amazon has in place, but little did I know that this can get me banned.
This might be very alluring for most people especially if the rating is good, but please do not do this. If another member from WA did not warn me about this a couple of years ago, then I might not be where I am today.

I found out this week my Amazon Affiliate links were broken, no wonder I had no sales. Please check your affiliate links to make sure they actually work now if you are having no Amazon Sales.
I blogged about it on my blog.

you can simply re-apply I believe. It just means you get a new ID for all the links you used on your pages.
Do you need to re-apply with a different email address too? In that case you make a different account on your siteEmail system.
But yes, fix stuff up first of all. I might have a similar problem now that I think of it.
