Record of Amazon Associates Re-registration"},"content":{"rendered":"

In the early days of launching this blog (Nando Kobo), I registered for Amazon Associates and prepared for monetization. However, because it was left inactive for a long period, my Associates account was automatically terminated. Now that the blog has grown to a scale of around 600 clicks per month, I tried logging into the management dashboard again and was prompted to re-register my account.<\/p>\n

I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to the readers who purchased products via our blog’s links for the very first time since my re-registration. In this article, I will organize the specifications of account termination, the operational results after re-registration, and the insights gained from the first revenue data.<\/p>\n

The Reality of the “180-Day Rule” Applied Without Warning<\/h2>\n

Amazon Associates has a strict condition upon new registration: “Generate at least 3 qualifying sales (purchases) within 180 days<\/strong>.” If this condition is not met, the account is automatically closed. There are many cases where operators fail to notice prior warning emails, making it a specification that operators who have not thoroughly read the terms and conditions easily fall victim to. The purpose of this article is to clarify the reality of this rule and provide objective information for blog operators facing the same situation.<\/p>\n

Goals and Practical Review Toward Official Approval<\/h2>\n

Currently, a new 180-day countdown has begun due to the re-registration. The immediate goal is to achieve the remaining 2 qualifying sales within the deadline and pass the final review. Also, due to the specifications of Amazon Associates, actual rewards cannot be received unless the referral fees reach a minimum of 500 yen (the threshold for Amazon Gift Card exchange). We would greatly appreciate your cooperation in shopping via this blog to help us cross this 500-yen barrier from our current earnings and encourage future workshop operations.<\/p>\n

As an example of a purchase through this blog, I will review the recently introduced “Shupatto with Zipper” without sugarcoating.<\/p>\n

Shupatto with Zipper<\/a>
\nUnlike regular Shupatto bags, this one features a zipper, so even if you overpack it or put small items inside, they won’t spill out. The capacity is also more than adequate, and its practicality is extremely high. On the other hand, a disadvantage is that the difficulty of folding it compactly has increased. While folding it small itself is easy, if you don’t roll it up neatly, it ends up bulkier than a regular Shupatto, slightly compromising its portability. I recommend introducing it after considering the trade-off between functionality and storage convenience.<\/p>\n

Opportunity Loss Due to Invalidation of Old Tracking IDs<\/h2>\n

Along with the account re-registration, a new Associate ID (tracking ID) is issued. This means that all Associate links placed in past articles have been invalidated, and referral fees will not be generated as they are. Overlooking link fixes leads to direct opportunity loss, making it necessary to migrate all links scattered across the site to the new ID.<\/p>\n

Reliable Link Migration Utilizing Plugins<\/h2>\n

To identify past links, I utilized the WordPress plugin “Broken Link Checker.” Although it is originally a tool to detect broken links, it also works effectively for screening out invalidated old Associate links. Since this blog has a limited number of featured products, I manually corrected the target URLs identified by the plugin to the new ID links one by one. At a small scale, combining tool detection with manual work can ensure reliability.<\/p>\n

Occurrence of First Results and Specifications Deduced from Reports<\/h2>\n

After fixing the links, the first results occurred. Against sales of 1,385 yen, a referral fee of 28 yen was recorded.<\/p>\n

As a result of downloading and analyzing the detailed data obtained from Associates Central (Linked-Product Report), it turned out to be an “indirect sale” where a reader who followed the link purchased a different product rather than the one directly introduced on this blog. This is due to the tracking specification where any product added to the cart within 24 hours of clicking the link and purchased within 89 days becomes eligible for a referral fee.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, by comparing the fact that the 28-yen referral fee is approximately 2.0% of the 1,385-yen sales with Amazon’s official referral rate table<\/a>, it can be logically deduced that the purchased product belongs to categories such as “PC, Home Appliances, Cameras, Software.” In addition, the existence of a time lag where performance rewards are recorded not at the time of “order (settlement)” but at the time of “shipment” was also confirmed.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

I re-registered for Amazon Associates because my initial registration was automatically canceled due to failing to meet the 180-day rule. To address the issue of the old ID being invalidated, I identified the targets with a plugin and manually fixed the links. As a result, I recorded my first earnings of 1,385 yen in sales from indirect sales and verified the tracking specifications from the report. Moving forward, I aim to achieve the remaining 2 sales within the deadline and reach the minimum redemption amount of 500 yen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
