Amazon slashing affiliate commissions in midst of Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis

(Wed Apr 15 2020 00:00:00 GMT+0300 (Eastern European Summer Time)) Amazon pioneered the whole field of affiliate marketing and to a large extent the success of Amazon is due to the company's affiliate partners sending traffic to Amazon. Yesterday, Amazon sent an e-mail notice to affiliate program members about changes to the operating agreement, the effect of which is to drastically slash affiliate commissions in certain product categories. It is probably time for affiliate program members to shift their affiliate links elsewhere.
