Today I received the following email from [tag]Amazon Associates[/tag] [tag]affiliate[/tag] program regarding their special new offer for publishers from the [tag]Amazon Cell Phone Team[/tag].

Dear Associate -
The Associates Team has teamed up with the Amazon Cell Phone Team to create an exciting new offer for you to earn additional referral fees. Beginning May 1, 2007, when you refer a cell phone with a service plan, you will earn an extra $15 bonus on each referral! Why market Amazon Cell Phones and Service? Amazon offers the hottest phones, 30-day returns, an easy comparison shopping experience, and some of the most competitive cell phone pricing on the Web. Get started today! We’ve updated our Cell Phone banners with graphics of the newest phones in the market. They’re available at Associates Central >> Build Links >> Banner Links >> Cell Phones. You can also build direct product links by linking to your favorite cell phones and then recommending your visitors also sign up for service with one of the service providers. You can use your Earnings Report on Associates Central to determine the bonus you will receive. In the Cell Phones and Service section of the Earnings Report the bonus-eligible products are listed as “Service Plan + Phone” (e.g., Cingular Nation 900 Rollover Minutes + Sony Ericsson W810i Phone). This bonus will be applied at the end of each month, at which time you can view how much you’ve earned by going to Associates Central >> Your Account >> View your payment history. We will be automating this reporting as soon as possible. Please note that the only referrals that are eligible for the bonus are cell phones sold with service plans in the same order. All other wireless products, including accessories, still earn referral fees up to 8.5%. If you have any questions or feedback on this promotion or the Associates Program, please contact us via the Customer Service form. We want to hear from you! Best regards, The Amazon.com Associates Program |
I went to my Amazon Associates account and checked out the [tag]cellphone[/tag] banners and must admin that they are pretty eye catching. Considering the added incentive of the $15 extra bonus on each referral and Amazon’s history of always paying affiliates on time, I’ve added the new banners to several of my sites. My only criticism of the Amazon Associates programs is that they load their banners inside of an “iframe” which happens to be the favorite tool of “click fraud” publishers, but I’d assume it’s safe to use an [tag]iframe[/tag] with Amazon content. I’m not sure exactly what Google’s stance is on mixing Amazon Associates ads with Adsense, but if I’m not mistaken Google only has a problem with using “contextual ads” from their competitors in conjunction with Adsense so I’d assume it’s safe to use these banners on a site with AdSense.
