Hey guys,
Summary
I need your help if you are in the US or UK! 
I would ask you kindly if you are intending on using Amazon to shop, please enter using this site by clicking one of the affiliate product ads that appear between posts on most Topics. 
I know from my records some of you are already doing this and I would like to thank you very much, please keep doing this! It really helps. The more separate occasions you do this the better as they count number of sales, not how much.
The Problem
You may remember the updated “Recommended Products” affiliate ad system we put in place about a year ago.
Amazon has decided to increase the threshold of sales required to allow me to link to their products catalogue which is used to generate the ads.
This threshold was once 3 sales a month, now it is 10 (per region)! We used to hit this target but not any longer.
If this link is not restored, I cannot add new recommended products.
So I need to recover this access as we’ve now fallen below.
So, I would ask you kindly if you are intending on using Amazon to shop, please enter Amazon using this site by clicking one of the affiliate product ads that appear between posts on most Topics.
The more separate occasions you do this the better as they count number of sales, not how much.
Many thanks!
James

Response to this campaign so far has been amazing, 3 different sales at least in 3 days of launching the campaign. Thanks so much! Keep it going, only 7 more separate sales to go to hit target! 
We are very close to hitting the target! Just 3 more separate orders!
I just clicked through to Amazon and placed an order for a Nakuru knife, but I didn’t see the bar move?

Thanks Eric - there is a delay - and the bar is manually set! - unfortunately there’s no automated link I could set up.
Appreciate your assistance - I’m sure it will show up shortly.

Guys, Prime Deals end at midnight tonight … if you intend on grabbing a good deal, please shop via our ads.
We are just two separate sales off our June target 
I placed another order for delivery in the morning. I’m not sure that will count since the delivery will be in July and not June.

You are very kind Eric. Let’s see.
I checked - criteria is “last 30 days” so that should count.
We could be just 1 off the target now, thanks for your help!
Sadly, despite the best efforts of some of the community ( ) we failed to hit the target. Frustratingly, only by 1.
I’ll concede this for now but it puts this revenue for the site at risk in the medium to long term unless we are given access to the Amazon API once again as ad data will age.
I am thankful for the community but pretty annoyed with Amazon right now for setting such an exclusive target which we were unable to meet despite a herculean effort. I hope they revisit their threshold.
