Why do you taunt me amazon!
Man! I’ve been messing around with amazon web services for like 4 days straight. I am working with the AAWS part of their web service which seems to be a hidden secret of theirs. You cant find the links to information about it anywhere on the aws website. You have to find links to it from other websites to even get to it. Even searching there search doesn’t return anything. I’m not sure why they are hiding it but my guess is because its a free service provided for associates and not the other pay stuff they are promoting like the cloud computing crap and the storage crap. But what I don’t get is why they would hide it almost completely. They still make money from associate sales just they have to give a little chunk to the person doing all the foot work. Do they think they don’t need an affiliate system anymore? Is it on its way out? I sure hope not a lot of people are gonna have to go back to real jobs if they do. Maybe they don’t realize how many people depend and survive on the money they make using the associates program. Maybe I’m just a paranoid blind freak incapable of finding simple links directly on a website but I doubt it. Maybe they just forgot to link it in the search and dashboard who knows! I guess we’ll see. its not like they haven’t mixed things up before and caused a lot of mayhem for people using existing methods to access their product database.
“Amazon Web Services” generally means their infrastructure-related services. Their other services (Product Advertising Service, Alexa, etc.) generally fall under “Amazon Associates.”
