With Amazon\u2019s definition, I interpret this as any sales that are not in the same category as the product you linked to.<\/p><p>Reading that last sentence might strike a chord deep down with you. Amazon is famous for being the \u201cEverything Store\u201d and one of the draws to their affiliate program is that you can still earn commissions when you are recommending TVs but getting sales from toasters and toilet paper. We call this the \u201cHalo Effect\u201d and for many Creators and Publishers using <a href=\"https:\/\/geniuslink.com\/amazon-affiliate-guide\">Amazon\u2019s affiliate program<\/a>, these \u201cHalo sales\u201d from someone clicking your link then doing their weekly shopping within 24 hours can result in adding a sizable amount of commissions to your bottom line. With this Direct\/Indirect Qualifying Purchases model, Amazon is significantly reducing the upside from those unrelated (dare I say \u201cIndirect\u201d) purchases.<\/p><p>The second part of defining an \u201cIndirect Qualifying Purchase\u201d is squarely along the lines of the type of link used in the final redirect into the Amazon store. Amazon states that any link, except for one that lands on a product detail page, will automatically qualify as an Indirect Qualifying Purchase for any subsequent sales that are made.<\/p><p>Again, links that go to a search results page, a category, a brand store, or any of the other various types of landing pages that Amazon has in their massive store will be automatically classified as an \u201cIndirect Qualifying Purchase\u201d and thus result in a smaller commission rate and therefore lower Amazon Affiliate earnings.<\/p><p>The last part of their description of how commissions are calculated, copied below, just means that Amazon gets to decide what category a product fits in. Nothing you can do about that!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d3a091f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d3a091f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1f04934\" data-id=\"1f04934\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d68da08 elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"d68da08\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u201cProduct Category\u201d means the product category of the Product described in the tables below, as determined by us.
