"Over the past several months, Amazon has both cut its commission rates and eliminated data and reporting features, like the ability to track ID-level reporting from a single sale. (Now, marketers can only see performance data once they've generated at least four conversions.) Milestone-based bonuses that rewarded high-performing publishers have also gone down the drain."
Marketing content needs to be findable and discoverable for AI agents, especially as B2B buyers increasingly begin with AI chatbots. Sales and marketing pages must appear cleanly in AI answers, requiring polished, feature-rich pages for humans alongside streamlined Q&A-style formats for AI agents. This approach treats agent-readable content as part of the marketing plan, without shifting to AI-written editorial content. The goal is to avoid producing an “AI-written” version of the publication. Separately, affiliate publishing faces pressure as Amazon reduces commission rates and removes data and reporting features, including ID-level tracking, and changes performance visibility thresholds. Milestone-based bonuses have also been reduced, with impacts varying by publisher.
