  1. You know, when Amazon messaged me that I was given 180 days to generate reasonable sales or else my associate account would be made inactive, I suspected something was not right. I angrily stopped using that account. I had to focus on other affiliate programs without such strict terms. Not too long after that, affiliate rates are slashed. I just hope they can survive whatever challenge they are facing.

  3. It seems Amazon has been cuting their affilaite program as long as I can remember, cookies used to be for a month. On another note, email still works and can be as if not more effective than a good website.

  4. The changes will be a harsh blow to digital media organizations, many of which spent the last few years building out commerce divisions dedicated to recommending products that are largely purchased, at least in the US, on Amazon.
