I am happy that some people started to notice the case study on How to make money online in 3 months which right now just focuss on Amazon Affiliates. I have received tons of emails thanking me for the inspiration and some of them started to follow the case study with their new sites. But there are some discussions that makes my eyes open and read some Amazon TOS which is the reason of ending amazonwall.com and continue this case study with some major changes:

First there were a comment on one of the week’s case study that including amazon in the domain is illegal: Doing some research that is totally illegal to do it, in the long-term it will give me some major problems 1. To shut down the site and give the domain to amazon.com and all my efforts will be in vain.

Second: there were a reply on one of the forums which is the following:

Having Amazon in the URL can only lead to bad things as well. I haven’t checked, but almost certainly that must be against Amazon’s TOS.

When I read this issue about the amazon’s TOS which I didn’t read (is my fault); instantly I went to the amazon associates TOS and they clearly explained:

include “amazon,” any other trademark of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates, or variations or misspellings of any of them, in their URLs to the left of the top-level domain name (e.g., “.com”, “.net”, “.uk”, etc.) — for example, a URL such as “amazon.mydomain.com”, “amaozn.com” or “amazonauctions.net” would be unsuitable

But it made me thing, what they mean with “unsuitable”? why they didn’t added that is “against”? Anyways, this is anothe reason to add to remove amazonwall.com and shut it down and replace it with another domain name.

Changes

I don’t want to end the case study here because I am sure that many of you will learn some tips on how to make money online with a short time of 3 months. But this time I have to make some changes:

When I started amazonwall I registered as well Couponcodesmall and wanted to follow the same concept but with some less rules like “budget” and having a authority blog like googlelady.com which I can build some backlinks offering “contests”.

I got 2 reviews in Couponcodesmall.com and to make it fair I will deduct the $35 USD so I have $0 budget to spend on it.

So here are the changes:

New domain name: CouponCodesMall.com

The same Budget rule but this time not only with Amazon Associates will start but also others.

I am making a long-term plan and not a short one, I don’t want to build my website and make it authority for a short-time and then have problems like “Domains” and some Terms and Conditions. I will thank everyone who point me out this issue and fix it before it came a major problem. Check the updated Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3.

Moral of the story:
You always have to read the Terms and Conditions of each affiliate program that you want to join. If I read the amazon TOS this didn’t happened to me. I always read the TOS of affiliate programs but sometimes as a un-perfect human I do my mistakes and this mistake cost me to shutdown amazonwall.com and my already efforts to start “again”.

This is really dissapointed but I will not give up on this.

Update 1: I have redirected amazonwall.com to couponcodesmall.com for a short of time so I can’t loose any customer from what I did before. I will leave it one week and drop it complete.

Update 2: Moved most of the articles from amazonwall to couponcodesmall.com (Wish me luck!)
