Danny Sullivan captures the essence of so many frustrating issues surrounding this any crappy link to tax fight — especially the way Amazon handles relationships with affiliates.
A good point that he made that I have not thought about yet… All these terminated affiliated links that everything does not go down. Many affiliates have several sites with hundreds or thousands of links Amazon. Most of its affiliated companies are too busy to make links in any way PLUSENT will be scrambling to deal with the domino effect that is sure to follow of this unjust act, tax in California. Amazon will just continue unjustly benefit from affiliates that do not have the time to find and remove all links.
Danny so makes good points and really summed it up. The read, weigh, reblog/tweet it to show your support for the open letter from Danny.
And by the love of God - remove all your AMAZON links! They should not benefit from your efforts after that that they you royally screw. SCREW THEM!
Advertising disclosure policy*.Open letter to Jeff Bezos on putting an end to the Amazon affiliate program in California
Thank you for your letter today, informing me that after seven years to be one of your affiliates - and you have won $ 150,000 at the time - that you "regret deeply" unilaterally terminate my contract with Amazon be affiliated. I also particularly enjoyed the part where you reassure me that this action would not affect my ability to keep the purchase of your business. Nice touch.
Now, because of your dispute on the question of sales tax, you have decided to immediately free what paid you. If I do not find the time to find and kill these links, you keep grabbing the orders that are made through them and keeping the Cup, I have already received.
Get to be your pawn with only 10 hours of notice? You want to just place and terminate my contract with you with only the ten hours notice?
