The story that I finally passed the Amazon Associate (affiliate) program I licked it at first.

What is the Amazon Associate (Affiliate) Program?

The Japanese translation of the word affiliate means "to tie up."

A general affiliate program is a link from an individual or company's homepage to an EC site (advertiser), and when the viewer purchases the advertiser's service or product via that link, the link source It is an advertising method in which the operator is paid a fee. 

Amazon.co.jp calls this the Amazon Associate Program on its own.

Associate members will be rewarded for purchasing Amazon products from links on the site

"History appreciation memorandum" failed to apply for program participation 5 times It has become a case. To be clear, I'm licking at first did.
