Help me understand the numbers: "Amazon Associates" means you got a new Amazon Affiliate account seven days ago, not a merchant account, right? And you made $1k with referrals per day since that?
Amazon pays its Affiliates roughly 5 percent ("up to 10 percent") of a sale, so you generated nearly $20k in sales for promoting one particular product from the first day on, constantly? And you wonder Amazon is terminating this Affiliate account?
If the $7k revenue really accounts from Affiliate promotions for only one product and a time span of the first 7 days after approval, I'm pretty sure that rings a lot of bells in Amazons fraud detection systems. I'd really like to know how one could get to these numbers without at least bending the rules of the Affiliate program.
- bbcbasic 10y agoPaid advertising springs to mind. Which I presume is legit.
- Matsta 10y agoCorrect, I'm putting Amazon ads on the site. And yes I'm making around that. It's all from Google/SEO traffic. You can make up to 8% of the retail price depending on how many items you sell. The site has been ranking in Google for months now, and traffic has slowly been building up. I agree that it could ring some bells being so sudden, but because Xmas is coming up people are starting to buy more and more.
