Changes required for Amazon Associates
I know that some of my readers are Amazon Associates. If you are then (at least for EU Associates) you will need to update your websites from tomorrow. The Amazon Operating Agreement update - effective 22 September 2011 – requires a new form of statement to identify you as an Amazon Associate. The new statement required is:
“[Insert your name] is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to [insert applicable site name (Amazon.co.uk/.de/.fr/.it/es)].”
The change from the existing statement is not major but it is required. There are quite a few other changes to the Amazon Operating Agreement as well; give the new version a read when you have a moment to make sure you comply.
