Can I test my affiliate ID on a dummy webpage without it being suspended?
- by user359650
I've recently applied for an Amazon affiliate program (which was accepted) as I'm planning on advertising books I read, on my website. Before going live with my website, I would like to:
1 -test the whole affiliate program to make sure it's working properly.
2 -buy the books I will review and promote on my website under my own affiliate program in order to get some cash back and therefore save money.
To do so, I thought about setting up a simple HTML page (on the actual domain I applied for) which will just list the products I will buy before going live. That way I test, get some cash back, and don't expose my website (Brand, content...) before going live.
Can I do this without having my account suspended by Amazon (i.e. won't Amazon think I only applied to the program to get some cash back, will Amazon be happy with receiving affiliate traffic from an almost empty website...) ?
