So just an update. After a little bit of experience and having my account closed once, I’ve done the following:
- Amazon one-boxing remains blacklisted so as not to generate unauthorised trademarked images locally.
- I’ve been very careful to make the required disclaimers visible and obvious as per the agreement “As an Amazon Assoc …”
- I’ve also ‘blacklisted’ Amazon’s image sources to prevent local uploading of images from Amazon to prevent any rule transgression. This has the added benefit of saving you server space and leveraging their CDN presumably
Added this to the guide above.
