Sponsored Links on Amazon, help
-
So from what I can see CLickrive was discontinued by Amazon, replaced by a9. I have been asked by a client how they can get onto Sponsored Links near the bottom of a search query on an amazon page.
Now I can see from the amazon associates site that you can put widgets, display ads, product search links etc but there is no mention of 'Sponsored Links' other than:
SPONSORED LINKS
Sponsored links are advertisements related to your recent product search query or content on the page.
Sponsored links are always clearly labeled. When you click on a sponsored link, we get revenue. Generating additional revenue from sponsored links allows Amazon.com to offer lower prices to you - something we are dedicated to doing in every way we can.
There is no mention on how to actually be a sponsored link... I have read on various blogs etc that it is delivered by a third party network... no mention as to whom... thought Google but no mention of this on any information I can find on Google blogs etc.
Anyone have an idea?
Thank you

I know that Amazon shows ads from AdWords since they are considered part of the Google AdWords Search Network (not the Display Network). I haven't used AdWords to advertise on Amazon since late 2011, but I just checked out a Amazon product page and checked out the Sponsored Links. The URLs are being sent through A9.com, but the landing page had the "gclid" parameter appended to the end of the URL which leads me to believe that these are AdWords ads.
I had a lot of success advertising on Amazon product pages by offering the product cheaper than Amazon did and including the price in the copy of the ad. For example, a ping pong table was on Amazon for $300 and so I created an ad for the exact same ping pong table and listed it for $279. Even though my site did not have the reputation/credibility of Amazon, shoppers were more than willing to click on the ad to visit a third party site for a better deal.
Anyways, that didn't really answer your question, so if you want your ads to show up on Amazon under the Sponsored Links, I suggest setting up an AdWords account and choose the Search Network.

Spent months creating links but Webmasters not picking it up
Hey Guys, I've been working on Blast My Deals.com an affiliate site which i have an issue hoping you guys can help with. For the past year and a half we created loads of links from multiple domains at-least over 700+ which Webmasters did pick up since then we've created even more links however when we go in to our Search Console "Links to your site" it shows 214 domains. It seems like our old links are being removed and our new links aren't being added. All the links we created have an average of DA40+ For the past 2 weeks ive noticed a significant drop in organic traffic and loosing our positions on our main keywords. Our DA has also dropped from 33 to 29 in a matter of 2 weeks. I checked everything including robots.txt, sitemap.xml but Im unable to find the reason for it.

How do you find Affiliate Links on your site that have not been nofollowed?
We've just signed up to an affiliate scheme because we were sending links to them because we thought their product was valuable to our users. So we now have to go through and nofollow all of these links over 100's of pages. Is there any way that do a crawl of the site to identify all links to a particular site and tell me what page they are on and whether they are nofollow/follow?

Low value link building to sitemap.xml
During some competitive research recently I discovered one of my clients competitors sites had an interesting backlink profile. Looking at the top-pages report in Open Site Explorer the home page was the #1 page (as you'd expect) with 2.5k links from about 500 linking root domains The second page was the sitemap.xml (~1.5k links, 400 linking root domains) and the third was their /feed page (again, ~1.5k links, 350 linking root domains). Links to these two pages aren't something that would happen naturally (particularly the sitemap.xml). There's a whole load of evidence for nasty low quality link building such as over-optimised keyword rich anchor text, comment spam, and even some blog/article based link networks. It's a pretty nasty niche with lots of cut-throat affiliate marketing. My guess here is that someone may have made a mistake using an automated link building too, but I'd be interested in what you might think? Have you seen this before? (Sorry, I can't reveal the domains in question as I'm bound by an NDA.)

SEO and Affiliate Links
Hello, We run a travel related website and we started to run our own affilate newtwork to promote the sales of our products. At the moment the affilate links pont to a spacific affilate url in order to tack conversions : abcweb.com/affiliate/nameqaz I'm wondering how is the best way to run a private affilate programm considering SEO: Is there a way yo benefit from those links ? What are the best strategies to do this? If yes, Is there any benefit from redirecting 301 those links to the original page (the one accesible to google and the one we want to rank for) or is it better to use a king of canonical method. Thanks a lot for sharing you experiences , giving your opinion and indicate resources. Best Regards Daria

Sponsored Blog Posts?
We are looking at working with http://www.socialspark.com/ which is a Blog Sponsorship Network. How does Google treat the sites that work with advertisers like this? Do they treat these the same as selling links? If we add a no-follow link would this cause us any problems? Are we ok working with them, or should we consider looking into something entirely different? With the Panda updates, we're looking into additional ways to work with advertisers. We're trying to thin down the affiliate type banners on the side & focus more on the content side. What guidelines does Google have for working with advertisers that wouldn't hurt us in our rankings? Thanks, BJ
