I read this too. Idiotic if you ask me and I'll tell you why.
On some of my larger sites I have Amazon ads scattered around my site on rotation. I push PPC traffic to pages with the intent to monetize in one way but with Amazon ads occassionally showing in rotation too... so if they don't want to buy what I'm pushing at least I'm giving them other options to browse around instead of just leaving my site altogether.
Now I wouldn't be paid for these sales. So I'll have to pull Amazon ads from EVERY SINGLE PAGE/SITE to which I'm doing PPC. And while I could target page by page, I'm not going to. Any site I'm doing PPC to I will simply yank Amazon off of. It isn't worth my time to cater to the needs of Amazon's aff program especially since they are dicking me over. Fuckem.

It only affects direct linking.
PPC => Your site => Amazon is still allowed
Then I stand corrected. But for what PPC program that actually matters are you allowed to send traffic directly to Amazon anyways?
This is obviously a smart move on their part.
What better way to get rid of your competition and save money on both sides of the coin.
They've got years of PPC experience under their belt now so they can get rid of all you damn affiliates bidding on direct links to their products. This will drive down their PPC costs AND they won't have to pay affiliates anymore. Double WIN.

@cliqz - unless those same affiliates start promoting Amazon's competitors instead. In which case PPC rates stay the same and their revenue drops... although actual profit might still increase.

googhydr-20 is????? Please

That would be Amazon themselves I'd imagine, given the tracking code.
But it's a normal Amazon referral tag, and if they were this deep, why wouldn't they be bidding on their own trademarks?
i mean there's an Amazon affiliate right now bidding on Amazon.com
and redirecting through these links to drop the cookie:

Well he's breaking the terms.. No Amazon aren't bidding on their own trademarks, what they are doing is stopping affiliates promoting them on AdWords so they can do it all themselves, it will make more sense to them financially. Basically it's a better ROI for them to advertise themselves on AdWords then to pay affiliates a commission to do it for them.
bro i hear you, but still googhydr-20 is a normal Amazon associates tag. I want to believe it is Amazon or Google or what have you, but i really am starting to believe that some persistent enterprising mother fucker direct linked to every product on Amazon the past couple of years lol.
Well if that's the case I feel sorry for him now. What are the chances of him getting an ID with 'goog' in and promoting it all over Google though? :updown:
don't feel sorry for him, he prob made a 100 million dollars over 4 years.
you can create any amazon associates tag you want, i could put googlelovesthecock-20 and it's fine. This isn't the display url, it's the actual tracking tag in the long amazon associates link you get. Unless you're putting me on lol.
An look at this DP eBook peddler putting up a website and bidding on the keyword "googhydr-20" lol
Do You REALLY Want googhydr-20 ?
Do You REALLY Want googhydr-20 ?
just looking at the ads, the blatant trademark bidding, i mean come on there is no way Amazon said yea let's throw up some misleading advertising and bid on "iphone" cause lord knows we've just got inventory out the wazooo with these pretty little phones that we're licensed to sell..uh huh.
brotha made a billion on this.
it's coming to an end but he's been laughing all the way to the bank for years

What are you talking about? Amazon have been owning the paid SERPS long before they even had an affiliate program.
