Fucked by Amazon
 

I think amazon is ripping me off. I am their associate and put a direct linked item on my site, which is only discounted at 10%. I suppose to get 15% commssion if somebody click on it and buy Immediately.

Their rule is kind of ripping off anyway, but I still asked my friend to do a test by purchasing that item. Yeah, they only credited me 5%!!!

I wrote them and protested, asking for evidence. Of course, they never directly answer my questions, instead, they kept sending me formated letters. The same bad experience I had with AOL before. Now I have to add Amazon to this big sucking bad companies list.

Anybody else share the same experience?

And they say porno is run by criminals.

who else is on your sucking bad companies list?

<H1>LINK HOTTEN</H1>

:)

So far, only AOL and Amazon. I think Gammacash (or moneytree? I couldn't be sure, because I quit them both already) is another one, but I am not sure. I mean their pay per click program. I did a test by clicking on that banner myself on three different locations, but they totally recorded 2 on that day!!!

DTI is almost the best I know so far. They paid 75 just to sign up.

Here is a link to one of their site, <a href="http://click.dtiserv2.com/Click/593-113-ch245">DX Live</a> you can log in to find the webmaster section to join.

But, does anybody here really know about Amazon? I think we should form a class suit or something. :-)

I may be wrong here, but by my math:
15%-10%=5%

I don't sell for Amazon so I don't know but to me the math add's up. If you sold it at full price you should have gotten 15%.

Just my :2 cents:

Thank you for the math, but Amzon's rule is: 15% referel only apply to items discounted 10%-30%. At first I was confused, why must discounted? Then I found out that Amazon "discount" almost everything at least 10%. That's another lie of Amazon, which nobody complained yet. So their rule is not give 15% to anything they "discount" more than 30%.

Anybody who really dealed with Amazon? Please do share with me your experience. Here is my post at Amazon's BBS, they still didn't delete it yet. :-)



I am new to being associate of Amazon, although I have been affiliates for other sponsors before. I found some of them are liars, while some are very reliable.

I had no doubt about Amazon when I first joined, and placed a lot of direct linked items on my site, together with nice reviews targeted to my viewers, hoping to earn 15% instead of 5%. Then I asked a friend to do a test purchase from one of the DIRECT links and specially told him to click through that link and buy immediately, don't go anywhere else in Amazon. He did. And unfortunately, I found there is only 5% in my credit. That item is only discounted 10%.

I wrote to Amazon, demanding evidence of why they caterigorized this purchase as indirect, together with a confirmation email from my friend, who is a owner of a computer software company.

I am still waiting Amazon's 3rd response (they didn't give anything in the two responding emails), of what happened. It's not about money. I just want to see how they get out of this. I am sure they should have certain tracking software to determine where a surfer go, so they should be able to give me a record of where my friend went between the time he clicked my link and the purchase; otherwise, their "direct" vs. "indiret" is a total hoax and I am going to expose them all over the web and certain authorities.

I was using Amazon a lot infact i was one of there top 3 affliates but they really suck. There aree lots of other online specialist book stores out there that pay more usually 10-20% just search around.
I still use Amazon as they come in handy for terms where you can find no other sponsors with over 2 million products they have a book for every keyword which can be targeted nicely.

Try this one:
