Amazon.com Drops Colorado

March 10, 2010

Because of new laws that require that purchases made through affiliates who reside in Colorado have to include sales tax, Amazon.com has deactivated their affiliates from that state.  So now, Colorado joins North Carolina and Rhode Island on what’s basically an affiliate blacklist.

This means a massive loss of income for many webmasters unless they jump ship and change states.  With more states considering the sales tax for online purchases, no matter which state the buyer resides in though, things look pretty grim for affiliates all over the country.

I’m anticipating dark days ahead for all affiliate programs if things continue like this.
