AmazonClicks Site Operation

Despite approving the Amazon Associates account several months ago and corresponding without concern on a variety of matters, Amazon have now decided they wish to close the Associates account for AmazonClicks.com.

As an associate of many years, we have directed hundreds of new customers to Amazon and promoted them extensively. Of course, we will not take this action sitting down but first I want to ensure that the thousands of you who vote for our authors, can continue to support them in the future. All the authors featured on our site greatly appreciate your votes and the prestige they get if they win one of our Awards.

The good news is - the show goes on!

The issue Amazon have is with our name, and before you say it - yes I know they approved it!

Anyway, we have another name already lined up and we will be migrated to it very soon. It is possible that Amazon will 'jump the gun' and, if so, parts of the AmazonClicks site will no longer be available. It is still under construction so please leave this until week commencing 23rd February, the address is www.TheBookAwards.com I hope you like our new name!

As we own the AmazonClicks.com domain name, the site will continue to operate and if necessary will link to other fulfillment providers if Amazon pull the plug. There will be a clear link to 'TheBookAwards' and the Worldwide Book Collaboration Project which is powering on with many hundreds of hours work already completed by our team.

Please keep on supporting our authors by voting (there is no change of email address) and I will do my best to ensure a smooth transition to a brand new look and feel at TheBookAwards site!
