hey I'm going to go over the three
reasons that you may get banned from the
Amazon affiliate program these are
common mistakes that a lot of people
make and I'm gonna go over you know how
to avoid them as well so my name is Doug
Huntington I'm from niche site project
and hopefully we'll be getting started
here in a second
let me know in the chat where you're
from and let me know if it's the first
time you've attended a livestream so
up good to have you and yeah ours over
here and yes arth good to have you on I
have to make a request for you all right
pay close attention can you hear me yeah
art I love it when you comment but
you're asking the same questions on like
the same video like over and over again
you're asking the same questions I'm
answering them over and over again so
just be respectful so don't ask the same
question over and over again it doesn't
come off well and you know it just seems
weird if you keep asking the same
question so stop doing that alright and
somebody is asking so we got Michael
asking how many people were waiting it
looks like there were about five five or
six so not as many as normal so I'm not
sure what's up with that
Sheila's on is well good to have you on
Sheila and if you're just joining I'm
gonna go over the three reasons you can
get em from the Amazon associate program
and I'm just gonna get into it so if
people are late they'll have to catch up
maybe they could rewind it alright so
the number one mistake that people seem
to make is they just they grab images
from Amazon they download them maybe
they resize them and then they upload
them onto their site you're not supposed
to do that so the right way to do it is
to
either use the Amazon site stripe right
so that's the tool that you get by
default when you start using the Amazon
associate program everyone has access to
it and then the other way is if you use
a plug-in that accesses the Amazon API
or if you're a programmer you can access
the API yourself programmatically but if
you're not a programmer you wouldn't be
doing that so so that is the number one
thing that people do because they say I
see other sites are downloading the
images and doing it which is not a very
good reason to do something by the way
so a lot of different sites by the way
all of the three things that I'm going
to mention are very common so you can
probably go out look at some niche sites
and you'll find those issues right away
just because other sites are getting
away with it doesn't mean that you
should do it
Amazon can't police every single and
audit every single one of the people in
the Associates Program so people do tend
to get away with these things all right
and the second
thing that people do is list prices so
they'll list you know this product is
$14 and it's hard like coated it's
written in the text and the problem with
that is it could be inaccurate right so
prices change all the time a vendor can
go in and change the prices basically
whenever they want and the issue with
that the big problem with that is the
user experience right so if a customer
or visitor lands on your website they're
reviewing them they're reading the
review of the product and they're
thinking hey I'm gonna buy this thing
it's $14 they click the link they get
the Amazon and then all of a sudden it's
$17 and it's a bad customer experience
Amazon doesn't want that
they want to have happy customers and
they want to have you know a consistent
user experience and if you're listing
prices that's a problem because prices
inevitably will change now the right way
to do it is to again access the Amazon
API so you can do this through plugins
right there's several plugins or easy
Azon there's it's called
I think it's a awp is amazon associate
wordpress plugin basically and you know
two similar tools that do the same thing
additionally amazon has their native ads
that you can use those are free to use
and that works just fine okay and I see
couple more people are on firm in UK
yeah I am feeling better the last couple
days have been much much better and it's
been I've been sleeping better so yeah
thanks for noticing I've come coughing
less I'm still coughing some but just
less FM scout what's up good to have you
on and ok last point so first is images
so people are using the images without
accessing the Amazon API second problem
is listing prices and the third thing is
listing the like the rating the amazon
rating so again if you say hey this
product is four and a half stars and it
has you know 97 reviews you can't do
that again it leads to an inconsistent
customer experience just like the
pricing so if the reviews or the ratings
go down or up then you're gonna have
inconsistent information so for visitor
on your site clicks the link and then
heads over to Amazon you're gonna end up
with like just different results and
that's not good again the again the
specific issue for a lot of this stuff
is around just a consistent user
experience going back to the images the
dogs coughing a little bit so basically
we want to have a consistent user
experience across the board and then the
other part is around like the the images
that's a copyright situation so Amazon
doesn't control the copyrights for all
the images that are listed for a product
or included for a product on Amazon so
my take is you know I assume the the
image that they're allowing us to use is
one that they are
they've required the vendor or whoever
has uploaded the product details to
actually you know give Amazon the right
to use it and then allow the associates
to use it to that's my take I don't not
a lawyer I'm not a hundred percent sure
but it is around copyright stuff so any
we have some questions that are coming
in these are really good questions
so Michael says what if the product is
thirty bucks and I write something like
under forty bucks so that is a gray area
now it should be okay I've actually
called Amazon multiple times to ask that
question they are not very definitive in
their answer so generally if you do that
and the product is you know less than
that amount you're okay
like generally so again this is a very
gray area this is not definitive but if
it is below if the products that you
list and that review are truly below
then you're probably okay I would be
careful if it was like thirty eight
dollars and you listed under forty and
you're unsure if it could change over
time that could be a problem in the
future
generally you're okay the firm in UK
says is it okay to mention that you
bought it for X amount check out the
current price okay
so again that is a gray area I didn't
ask the specific question however if you
for example if you're stating a fact and
you're like I purchased it on X date and
it costs this amount that is a fact and
it is you know like refutable right and
you're able to prove it or not prove it
so that should be okay as long as you're
presenting it truthfully right so again
gray area should be okay if you're
presenting it truthfully for example I
see a lot of times on YouTube videos
people will say on the date that I'm
shooting this the price is whatever and
they'll like show
the screen shot quickly on their screen
and that seems to be okay I think you
know particularly you'd be able to get
away with that if you say I bought it at
you know a local retailer or I've seen
it listed at local retailers Forex price
again that is a fact that you could
prove and it's reasonable so I think
that's probably an okay thing to do next
FM scout says there are plugins which
import data from Amazon which includes
the price and image is it okay to use
them yeah so again and if you're just
joining the the interesting part is if
you use a plug-in or some software that
accesses the Amazon API then generally
all this stuff I'm talking about is okay
you know you'll have bigger images that
are downloaded and that sort of thing
with the API it pulls you know real-time
data for the pricing for the number of
reviews the ratings that stuff that's
all cool as long as it's pulling
accurate data
all right cool and I saw some other
questions popping up here okay and I'll
answer questions if they are about the
things that I'm talking about so terms
of service for Amazon but if it's not
related then I'm probably just gonna
tell you to come back on Friday when
there's a general Q&A all right Michael
says easy Azon is a premium plug-in
correct and these days I would probably
recommend like a awp
/ ez Azon and it seems to be a more
modern like plug-in and I I don't know
it just looks a little bit sharper as
far as they call it an action and a lot
of people seem to use I don't
use any plugins I try and avoid plugins
where they're not needed I would also
advise you know there are some table
plugins out there that are pretty good
and they a lot of times will allow you
to access the API again there's themes
there's the ultimate Azon theme and Azon
Authority I think those are the two
names
those are great themes and I think uit
ultimate Azon theme I think they just
released the second version after much
delay okay and then the fermion UK says
you were told review ratings are no
longer able to be imported by a
developer I have no idea I've never
looked at it so I would say depending on
who you heard that from and Mayor I mean
I'm assuming Amazon but yeah I don't
know but in general you can't list the
other stuff but I believe for a man I
don't know about a developer but I mean
I think the Amazon native ads like has
that in there and yeah earth it's okay
like as far as asking the questions
multiple times just stop doing it all
right it's not it's not cool overall but
no problem but it doesn't come off well
at all in also there are questions that
you could look up on your own so those
types of questions are just not as cool
and FM scout says you got rejected for
your application once but you got
through the next time but it got
rejected once but got approve the next
day okay cool what do you know what the
issue was fermion says a's on tables is
new and very good you read a review and
you bought it recently cool yeah arth
says why does amazon ban people
because they're violating the operating
agreement and yeah and then the three
reasons I the most comment or the three
reasons I just told you alright any
other questions on Terms of Service and
it looks like more people filtered and I
got started right away so if you just
joined up you may want to rewind to
catch the high points it's interesting
doing the live streams you know they
tend to they go a little longer just in
general and I guess people probably get
email notifications that like I'm going
live so it may take a few minutes for
people to come in so it's kind of weird
cuz I want to get started right away so
when people watch the replay more people
watch the replay didn't show up live I
wanted to get to the point faster but at
the same time gonna miss out on some of
the live folks that join up so I have to
figure out how to deal with that all
right and for me it says you used to
are you trying loads of plugins but I
use site stripe and use genius link for
tracking and localization plugins are
useful if you're going the WooCommerce
affiliate store route yeah and I know my
friend Alex at WP Eagle I guess he got a
lot of people doing the WooCommerce
version of it and really I don't I've
never I don't know anyone who's going
that route who is I guess like an
advanced affiliate so I'm not sure like
why that's a good thing to use the
WooCommerce store look because I don't
know it just it doesn't make sense to me
I just come from a different school of
thought where I've never used one
commerce and it's really all about the
content and organic SEO traffic and
stuff so like having a store look seems
pointless but I just I don't understand
so so if anyone knows
I'm curious but it seems like a kind of
a waste of effort
alright okay an FM scout they were
telling you a lack of content you only
had four or five four or five blog posts
okay cool embracing wellness you access
the Amazon images through the API can I
use the images as my blog post featured
image as far as I know I don't know why
that would be an issue at all okay and
then success roller coaster tells me
you're signed up for the notifications
for YouTube for my channel which is cool
thanks for doing that but sometimes you
only get them when I'm already streaming
for half an hour that's interesting yeah
I don't know okay michael says subscribe
to the channel and you always get a
notification yeah okay for her man says
how thin is thin content I have a
WooCommerce affiliate store with very
short blog posts 100 to 200 words and
you got a few sales amazingly how thin
is thin content I don't know I would say
anything under like 500 words is
probably kind of thin I do see some
stores out there that basically I mean
there's just not much information and it
is amazing that you get any sales
just because I'm surprised you get any
traffic based on that so and you are
switching to heavy content articles yeah
and I think that will be the way to go
alright in yeah thar says any results on
the contest now so that is an
interesting point if anything no one
even entered I'll look at the look at
the post but I don't think anyone
entered at all so it was it was an
interesting idea some people thought it
was an interesting idea but no one
no one actually took any action on it at
all so just goes to show people are even
I mean people are busy but people are
lazy people are very lazy and it wasn't
necessarily an easy task however it it
wasn't hard either probably would have
taken someone like I don't know 15
minutes or so to pull this together
but yes arth is referring to a playlist
contest where I was going to announce
the winner today and I'm just gonna
double-check to see but I don't think
anyone entered at all and the the thing
is there's a lot of videos on the
channel but it's not organized in a
specific way so I thought hey a lot of
people are interested in you know
playlists that sort of consolidate
information so the firm in UK you don't
see how you could use the images as
featured as it needs to be a local image
not a link so fermion and this is
referring back to embracing wellness so
the thing is I don't I have no idea how
embracing wellness is using the images
but Chea saying she's using the api and
you you know if you're a programmer you
know we shouldn't assume that someone's
using WordPress or how a theme works so
however you're doing it if you're using
the API it should be fine
and yeah thirst says can I make a slide
presentation on it you could do whatever
you want that is not part of the contest
though so I don't know why again man I
don't know why you're asking the same
questions over again this is not a slide
presentation so I'm not sure what you
think this is but it's not that
Lana says you seem to be able to pull
them remotely
so okay any other questions on Terms of
Service for Amazon and uh yeah yeah
Earth I'm not sure man I think we're
just on different wavelengths and I'm
confused I'm puzzled by a lot of this
stuff that you asked baffles me alright
so couple reminders couple reminders
tomorrow there is a free presentation
let me see if I put a link in the
description yep
there is a free presentation on and let
me make sure the link works in the
description a free presentation on
scaling content for niche sites it is
free to attend it is a workshop and I'm
gonna talk about how I published a whole
bunch of blog posts there's a link in
the description and if you just follow
that you could enter your email address
I'm sure I see a lot of familiar faces
names in here so I'm pretty sure that
you know you're probably aware but if
you're not signed up you can sign up
that'll be the same time the same place
and then on Friday I'm doing just like
the the general Q&A as always in the
fermion says you've resorted to going to
the manufacturers website for images and
general images so the fur man you're
probably violating copyright or
copyrights by doing that unless you have
written permission to do it so I would
never recommend what you're suggesting
and
is generally a bad idea you again a lot
of people can get away with all sorts of
stuff however no one notices until your
site starts getting a lot of traffic it
makes money and then people notice and
then you have an issue so I would just
make sure you do have permission to use
those images or you could run into
trouble in the future all right crazy
okay so all of a sudden we have like ten
additional viewers popped on so I'm just
gonna do a recap since I think a lot of
people just joined up which means an
email must have just gone out very
strange kind of lines up with what
success rollercoaster was saying like I
gotta be rolling for about half an hour
before it kicks in very weird
all right so the number if you're just
joining up tell me what's up in the chat
here I'm feeling much better than I was
like over the last two weeks I finally
started catching up on my sleep thank
goodness I was kind of going crazy not
getting enough sleep alright so if
you're just joining up I see a bunch of
people just joined and Jay Isaacson is
on awesome and Emil says the YouTube
notice just popped up yeah okay so I
guess there's some kind of half-hour
thing alright so the number one issue
the number one like Terms of Service
violation these are like terms of
service violation or the operating
agreement and there's a there's a bunch
of rules that you have to follow by the
way but these are the top three just the
I mean these are the most common so
number one is using images directly from
Amazon where you like download them and
then upload them to your site the way
that you're supposed to use images from
Amazon is to
use the site stripe so that's like the
default way to put links in to your site
is using the site stripe alternatively
you can use a premium plug-in like a AWP
A's on tables or even a theme right that
accesses the Amazon API so if you're
accessing the Amazon API through
whatever method a plug-in a theme or
maybe you know how to code and you're
doing it yourself that is okay but you
can't download the image and self host
it I believe it
ties back to like copyrights and stuff
like that so this is probably one of the
number one ways that you have an issue
with you know just violating the the
Terms of Service and Sean is mentioning
the site stripe images suck yeah you
know they are smaller resolution and
they are the default but I challenge you
that it doesn't matter that much so I
typically use all sites stripe images
and it seems to be fine so it's about
everything else sure I mean it could be
nice to have bigger images but it's
really about providing information and
you know you could even use it to your
advantage and say click here to see a
larger image on Amazon you know I mean
you can use that to your advantage but
but you're right they're small and
they're like the most basic image ok so
that's number one
using images incorrectly and all right
we have like 40 people so I guess
there's some sort of delay or it takes a
little while for some of the
notifications to go out so okay number
two is listing prices so if you're
listing a price you're like hard-coding
it and you're saying hey Product X cost
you know $27
on Amazon and actually I'll just leave
it that if you're listing a price like
that you can't do it the reason why is
it provides an inconsistent customer
experience potentially right so Amazon
wants the customers to be happy
Amazon wants someone to you know click
the link over Amazon from your site and
then it to match up with whatever price
you mentioned the problem is prices
change all the time a vendor can just
change the price like every day or
multiple times a day they could do
whatever they want and the problem is
the visitor could click on the link
thinking it's $27 they get over to
Amazon they see it's $37 for whatever
reason and then they're upset maybe they
call Amazon maybe they're just not going
to buy it or whatever so it's
inconsistent and yeah it's not a good
thing so you are probably thinking hey a
lot of people do list the prices on
their website why are they able to do it
so number one they could be just
violating the terms right they're
violating the terms they haven't been
caught yet
you can get away with it for a really
long time but it's not worth it the
other way is if you're using again some
plug-in that is accessing the Amazon API
so again it could be through a plugin it
could be through your theme and as long
as it's pulling the data real time from
Amazon you're okay and again it just
goes back to a consistent customer
experience all right and the last reason
that or the last thing that people do
that they shouldn't do because uh
violates the operating agreement is
either stating the number of reviews or
the actual Amazon rating so like four
stars or five stars or something
now again if you list it then it's going
to change in the future inevitably it's
going to change so you're going to end
up with
just inconsistent information on your
site versus what's on the Amazon details
page that's just bad if you want to list
that information you do have to use
either like the Amazon native ads or
some type of plug-in that accesses the
API someone didn't mention earlier in
the chat that it sounds like maybe you
ratings or the number of reviews or not
pulled through via the API anymore I
don't I'm not sure I don't use any
plugins like that but if that's the case
then Amazon will give you whatever
information they want you to publish and
they'll give you access to it they don't
want you to access it then you won't
have access to it via the API alright so
a couple questions that came through
okay is showing prime status the Prime
logo through the API okay
okay I'm not a hundred percent sure but
my take is the yes because kind of like
so let's just deduce the process here if
Amazon is allowing us to access that
information via the API it's available
to us right so it's probably fine right
they wouldn't set traps it's just a
waste of time for them to like set put
information that you're not supposed to
use so it's okay
additionally I would expect the makers
of the plug-in are doing everything they
can so that people are not violating any
Terms of Service but if we just think
logically if you can get to it via the
API and it's information that you have
access to that you can share
Suhail says when is the course out yep
so by the way if you don't know I do
have a premium course called Fivefinger
niche site and Suhail is correct it's
almost never available that's true it's
almost never available I have it's
coming out next week so enrollment is
open next week next Monday through
Friday that's it
so and yes earth says great information
or awesome information thank you
appreciate you saying that Shawn same
thing appreciate that
Sheila is letting me know the
notification just popped up now at 11:30
to warm Pensacola time how cold did it
get there like last week I heard there
was snow in Florida all right d Scott
good question what about posts that are
titled best product X under X amount is
that type of post ok if actual prices
are not mentioned that is a very good
question because those are kind of good
keywords it's a very gray area
I've called multiple times to the
associates hotline to see what they said
and they were kind of unclear they
weren't definitive in their answer they
said yeah kind of but again they didn't
really give me an answer that said yes
you could do it or no you can't do it so
it's definitely in the middle so I think
it's okay and I do see quite a lot of
websites that do it alright again
it's not a reason to do things the best
thing to keep in mind is like if it's
well below that amount say below $80
then you're probably fine because it's a
lower probability for any one of the
products that you're listing there to
move above a hundred lower probability
still possible but lower probability so
I think that is okay but it is a gray
area and it could potentially be risky
if your site got audited and you know
there were many violations and that was
one of them it may not be a great thing
so michael says what if you use images
from elsewhere other than Amazon will
Amazon mistake those images for theirs
and still ban you it is unclear but I
would imagine you're probably fine
because if you could go back and say hey
I downloaded the images from you know
the manufacturers website and by the way
they gave me permission like if you have
the paper trail that I'm describing for
you like you know if you get permission
this should be fine because typically
what will happen I haven't had this not
gonna wood I haven't had this happened
before
basically you'll get some notification
that your accounts on probation or you
know you're sure you're kicked out for
the time being not in all those words
but something to that effect and if you
you know you say hey what's the issue if
it's the images I went and audited my
images here are you know here's where
I'm using them here's some images where
I am you know I'm using them but I have
permission from the owner and I think
you're probably all right there all
right sue
how much does the course cost so I don't
I'm still basically I'm not going to
talk about the pricing here so I'm not
trying to push the course here if you're
on my email list if you're if you're on
my email list you'll get notifications
next week you'll get emails about it if
you're not on the email list you can go
to niche site project comm click on the
green button enter your name in the
email and then you'll be informed next
week
what is it entail it takes you from you
know mindset niche research keyword
research competition analysis content
link building on through to scaling and
then email list building it goes into
other affiliate programs outside of
Amazon again these are kind of advanced
as you get further along selling a site
for over six figures I do some
one-on-one coaching and that is very
limited it's for one-hour sessions so in
Anthony's on what's up the fermion says
do Amazon Associates confirm anything in
writing via email when you contact them
you hate to call them and then confirm
something and get in trouble later on I
think you could so you don't get an
email confirmation when you call in but
I think you can get just straight-up
email support so you could get in
writing then okay bracing wellness says
if you violate the terms do you get a
warning or do they just ban you
typically it's just a band situation but
I'm not a hundred percent sure the
different you know mechanisms in place
Anthony says can you have multiple
Amazon affiliates on one site are you
limited to one user per domain or can
you have several users with different
IDs I'm not 100% sure what you're asking
but yeah you could you can use multiple
tracking IDs on one side
you can have as many users as you want
on your domain since it's your domain
pret you says that's Amazon give you a
warning before blocking your account no
typically not okay
and Anthony says like if you have your
own tracking ID and your wife has a
different tracking ID yeah that's fine
you could totally do that
Suhail cool yeah I I'm just saying it
phonetically I think for me and says
this is a worrying and eye-opening
session okay and by the way right so
earlier this year I I got worried right
I started hearing multiple people that
just randomly had their sites audited
their you know their Amazon sites
audited after you know a couple years
just randomly right so they had their
sites audited and then they were banned
from thee I mean and they were making a
lot of money and they were banned and a
lot of times it ended up being related
to images yes and I was like oh now I
have you know 200 posts out there
there's images on each one I know I
downloaded a lot of images resized them
and uploaded them to my site and I was
like this is terrible I don't want that
to happen to me but when it comes down
to it it's just a problem to solve right
it's actually a really easy problem to
solve you have to look at each post
determine how many images are there and
then replace the images it's a simple
simple problem but it's a pain in the
butt to do so I hired VA and explained
the situation and I worked with her and
then over the course of a
it's three weeks or so we fixed all the
images we reverted back to site stripe
images from you know bigger higher
resolution images and we put site stripe
images the conversion rates didn't go
down I know a lot of people are
concerned with the resolution or the
size of the images or the you know other
appearance related stuff it didn't
impact anything at all
so maybe the site load time just a tad
since it's pulling images via the API
instead of being you know self hosted
there but basically if you have this
issue you should probably try to solve
it so Suhail when amazon bins and a
county they've been the account or the
website i believe the full account so if
you have like a bunch of sites and a
bunch of tracking IDs everything goes
and basically always says do i use site
stripe for images yes our trooper what
are the three things so I recommend you
rewind but they are images listing
prices enlisting like the reviews number
of reviews or the rating but rewind and
the same thing I went just rewind okay
and then Anthony says not multiple
tracking IDs but separate store IDs
separate Amazon an associate ID account
so the payments get separated that I'm
not sure I think it probably should be
okay and my logic there is I believe
like the wire cutter and maybe the sweet
home back in the day I feel like some of
the
or maybe it was a different site but I
feel like I've heard bigger sites they
allowed the writers to put in their own
tracking IDs for their Amazon affiliate
account so that they actually like made
money based on their post right so I
think that's okay but I would call
Anthony and just ask they're they're
actually depending I think that's a more
straightforward question embracing
wellness says I provide value
much appreciated Thanks thanks for
saying that I try for me and says have I
known anyone who got banned just changed
the tracking ideas to someone else's and
get back online with the same site's URL
no I don't know about that do I have to
submit each site URL where I use a Mazon
tracking codes yeah you have to put in
all the websites there's a section in
your associates account where you could
put in the site so you're using it on
and you know you just entered in so good
questions any other questions out there
[Music]
is that a banner bull offense not
listing the URLs I'm not sure but I
would guess so I I mean that's probably
a pretty straightforward thing to list
them out all right and all Wayne says
you think some big sites get away with
issues you've seen a lot of big sites
and they break all the rules so here's
the deal you should never assume that
people especially the big sites they
probably don't have the same operating
agreement as us right do you think like
the wire cutter has to follow the exact
same rules as us probably not they
probably have multiple affiliate
managers who help like keep track of the
site so Theo Tom okay so I saw you since
you sent me an email or a comment or
something so out of this out of the blue
you made a hundred and forty seven
dollars but you worried about you're
worried about the images because you
downloaded them you probably should
where can you find more about the Amazon
API
I would google it just google it if
you're not a programmer I would just
recommend that you just get a plugin
like yeah just gonna plug in or
something Anthony
can you get banned for content that is
out of date like pricing or an old photo
even though you use a plugin that pulls
the Amazon API or something like site
stripe okay so that doesn't really make
sense so the price will not be out of
date if it's pulled via the API or the
site stripe and the same deal with the
image so you can't get banned if you're
using the API or a tool that uses the
API Sheila says you can't buy your own
link or you can't click your own link to
buy that's true
that's true but that that should be like
the most you know that's that would
essentially amount to like getting a
discount for purchasing and obviously
that's not going to be something that
Amazon is doing okay so you're using
someone's mentioning that you're using
the same affiliate account on your site
and YouTube channel if the YouTube
channel breaks the Terms of Service well
both accounts get banned yes
yeah so it's all connected and you have
to follow the rules
do I have to submit my URLs if the sites
not ready with complete content I don't
know but I would imagine so and that you
know would make me ask why are you
putting in the links if it's not ready
yet maybe you should get it ready before
you're putting in the links I'm not sure
some plugins have a certain refresh time
you're referring to those that don't get
updated by the minute
but like 24 like 12 to 24 hours later
all right
most of the plugins do pull like pretty
recent like just I'm under a minute or
less than a minute
so I would avoid plugins that are
pulling that data like really old data
so I would avoid those and get the
better plugins and andrew says you're
just joining please do a recap okay
first first tip is if you're just
joining I encourage you to rewind and
and see what I said at the beginning but
the quick recap is using images without
pulling via the API or the site stripe
so downloading images is not okay the
second thing is pricing if you list
prices without pulling via the Amazon
API then it's a bad thing
or and the third thing by the way is
listing the number of reviews or the
reigning again the the final two those
could change so if they changed it is
inconsistent from a customer perspective
okay what to use instead of product
images of Amazon so you should use the
Amazon API or a plug-in or theme that
pulls the images from the Amazon API or
the site stripe that's what I recommend
just use the site stripe form in says
you've been using general images from
Google with reuse unsplash or buying
from various sites that's cool that that
is a good way to do it that is fine all
right
our questions out there let's see I
could probably throw out just other
violations that people do someone
mentioned you know clicking your own
link so you can't click your own link
and buy through it if you if you do that
is not good and if you accidentally do
it like probably nothing will happen but
if you are making lots of purchases then
you probably will get banned all right
another thing you can't do like if you
have an email list you can't like send
the the Amazon affiliate link in your
email that is also a violation okay
Anthony says if you promote your Amazon
affiliate site to your local neighbors
via printed materials and then use URL
shortening links directly to products
would that be an acceptable practice no
that's not you could you could like
advertise your site the print materials
but you can't use URL shorteners and
stuff like that z bond says a few days
ago you use tracking ID blah blah blah
but you stopped using the tracking ID
will I be banned for it
it fits sure the answer is I don't know
but you didn't I mean is that just a
random tracking ID or is that your own
tracking ID you didn't mention that
Sheila says you got a sale yesterday
this should be good for the 90 day
violation right what do you mean by
violation do you mean probation the
keyword golden ratio was used on to test
blogger post while you get your
WordPress site ready six days later
you're getting traffic yeah that is cool
wow that is pretty cool and by the way
if you did get an order or if you got a
sale that should be good for the you
know 90-day probation yeah I think you
have to get three within a hundred and
eighty days by the way not ninety Theo
Tom can I go into more detail on site
stripe basically it is the default tool
for placing links so it's just when you
apply for the Amazon associate program
it is the stripe at the top and you can
get your links there and if you want
more details just I mean just go to
Amazon and look up their their
information on it Anthony says can you
add your own Amazon murk shirt to your
Amazon affiliate site and double dip for
Commission get it both on the sale of
the shirt and an affiliate sale so
something tells me that that probably
isn't the best thing to do if you're
looking for shortcuts or any if it
sounds unethical it's probably not good
and so anytime the you can use double
dip it's probably not a thing that you
should look into but Anthony you have a
lot of specific questions that I don't
know so I would say call in to the you
know support phone number and they'll
to your questions success roller coaster
says how does the Amazon feel about
Google Adsense on your blog's they I
think they're generally okay with it
Anthony says you're jumping in late am i
only taking questions about getting
banned generally I mean if it's related
to Terms of Service that I'm taking
those types of questions okay there was
a question on link building software and
I could quickly just answer that no I
don't recommend it Anthony says you're
you and your buddy have tested the
keyword golden ratio use a plugin for
search volume cost per click and chrome
and get different results for all in
title and volume thoughts yeah if you
use multiple keyword search tools you're
gonna get like different values in
general so just pick a tool and stick
with it
and then if you and your friend are
getting different search volumes I'm not
sure why but take an average just pick a
number and move forward so being exact
isn't the most important thing but if
you want to clarify your question
Anthony you can by the way if you are
joining late I see we have quite a few
people too hopped on I only have 16
likes on this video so I did answer a
lot of questions if you found this
relatively helpful or helpful at all or
if I answered your question please click
thumbs up it does help other people view
the video and I do want people to view
the video so that's the number one
please like the video if you're watching
the replay you can also click the like
leave a comment something like that and
yeah so success rollercoaster appreciate
it Anthony yard
yeah Thoth other Anthony Theo if you
please hit the thumbs up that'll be
awesome as a brown or a bone as well
that would be great the other thing is
I'm doing a free workshop tomorrow on
scaling content so I talked about my
content team how it published hundreds
of articles in a short amount of time
without writing it myself or drafting it
or anything like that and people people
are probably wondering like how much I
spent so publish like about 200 articles
and I spent about $4,000 right sounds
like a lot but it was over the course of
about five months so only about eight
hundred dollars per month of him doing
the math right so that's not necessarily
cheap however when you look at the
amount of money that I made I made the
four thousand dollars back within four
months or so is something you know the
ROI came in pretty quickly and then I
made a lot more later on Anthony says
your friend lives in Texas and you live
in New York you use the same tool but
the results are different maybe you can
send me a screenshot actually you don't
need to send me the screenshot I believe
you so it probably has something to do
with like the geography obviously or
both in the US I'm unsure like what the
the mechanism is but are they close are
they far I'm assuming they're fairly
close and so thanks as a Theo Saban and
other Doug appreciate the likes and oh
yeah we got up to 26 so I'll go ahead
and like it to 27 that's great
and for some reason my screen my window
just totally crashed this happened the
other day there must be some some issue
with Chrome or some weird thing I'm
doing I'm back I'm back what do I think
about Fiverr you found some writers on
there Pheo I think if you do I think if
you find some writers it's probably okay
what I would recommend you don't do any
link building from Fiverr typically
that's you know people will get in
trouble doing that the link builders on
Fiverr tend to be of the lowest quality
yes I live in Montana cool any other
questions about terms of service or
anything like that and success
rollercoasters and writers are bad on
Fiverr yeah I mean the writers that I
I've hired a couple and they didn't tend
to be very good however most of the time
if you're paying five bucks for
something it's not gonna be great so if
you go to fiber and you upgrade you get
like a more just if you pay more than
five bucks
you'll probably get better results
Anthony says you watch the interview
with the income school guys they seem
like good guys you prefer starting with
the keyword golden ratio awesome yeah
