FP - Amazon Store Account Suspended

Hey guys I just thought I would post my story here. I don't know if this is the right section. I opened an amazon affiliate account the other day to attach it to my website. I opened the account and I got everything setup on my site. Then a few days ago this is the email I get from amazon.

I don't know if anyone else has had this experience or not I just thought i'd share this.

I've had the same thing happen to me a few years ago.

On a positive note, if you apologise and ask them if you can still promote amazon through your other websites then they're likely to un-suspend your account.

Thanks for the heads up - I'm currently pushing my Amazon sites hard for rankings and I did have one with a trademark name as part of the domain. Just cut all the Amazon links pronto!
