Thirty Day Challenge:
Gina McLeod
I am new to the 30dc and have been going through the 2008 pre-season plus on Day 4 of the 30dc but have run into a snag. The example being used is Amazon but Amazon no longer pays affiliates in North America. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have also signed up for other Affiliate programs but thought perhaps it would be different rules.

No,no Gina and welcome - I think you mean their reference to 'paid search traffic?'' Ordinary website/blog promotion is ok I think. You will love the challenge - its the most educational thing out there - looking forward to June.

Amazon is only stopping payments to people who buy a PPC ad that links directly to Amazon. "If your own website has links to Amazon’s US or Canadian sites and you are using these or other similar services to send users to your own website, you should not be affected by this change..." from the FAQ. (Whew! Got worried for a second there . . .)

That said, you could always check out commission junction (cj.com) or linkshare (linkshare.com) for affiliates, or go to another bookstore (Barnes & Noble, Powell's, etc.) if you want to sell a book on your niche. 8-}

Incidentally, unless you manage to give Amazon a tonne of traffic you're probably not going to get a paycheck from them. I've been an affiliate for ages, but not a dime!
