"Chances are"??? Seems to me it's totally inappropriate as a reporter to mention the possibility of fraud here with not an iota of evidence that's the case. “Chances are that one of two things happened - either Amazon is getting into this business directly, or Zlio was involved in some sort of fraud.”

No sour grapes here because I was hoping that the deal Zlio had made with Amazon was something we could also implement with our site. As was written in the post above, Amazon does not allow you to give anyone a cut of your commission. Oh well it was bound to happen sooner or later...

If the revenues from Zlio don't meet Amazon's expectations, it is normal for Amazon to give up. -Amazon plans to compete Zlio and improve their aStore which for now is far behind Zlio's functionality in lots of areas, but can catch up quickly -Zlio indeed were involved in some sort of fraud.

Actually, it’s not that surprising considering what Amazon has done in the past. Google “Friday 13th Hits Top Amazon Affiliates” and you’ll see an article about what happened to some Amazon affiliates last fall. It seems like there are some types of affiliates that Amazon doesn’t really want in the Associates program.

Agree with Adam, it's never been OK to split those. Big surprise. Amazon still has far and away the best affiliate terms and web services. So if you don't like them go enjoy 1000 queries a day on Yahoo or something, or build something with Google just before they stop providing the service altogether.

The whole shitstorm over Alexaholic really made them look bad; now they look even worse.

They want the affiliates directly, and won't allow middle men. I don't know why Zlio is surprised by this. It's right in the terms and conditions they signed to open up an affiliate account.
