> Amazon has automated tools that crawl affiliate sites looking for violations of their Operating Agreement. Sometimes, people will find a good deal on diskprices.com and copy the link to a forum or chat room to share with their friends. If one of Amazon’s bots finds a link with my affiliate tag on a site other than diskprices.com, they assume I’m doing something shady and flag my account.
I use diskprices every couple of years and it's invaluable. It's a shame to see an entire country (Australia) denied the tool because it's too expensive for Amazon to actually care about it's "rules" and interpret them on a per incident basis. If they did they'd obviously be re-instating the diskprices amazon.au account.
