It seems I've encountered a rather alarming issue with Amazon Associates: my clicks have surged to 1,400 per month, compared to my usual average of 400. Unfortunately, this has led to a significant drop in my conversion rate, which has plummeted from 4% to 1%. I'm feeling quite anxious about the possibility of being banned because of this situation. Additionally, I've noticed clicks on an ID from a project that hasn't been active for over a year. Could this be a case of clickfarming on archive.org? I would greatly appreciate any advice on the next steps I should take.

It appears that there may be some bot activity, which can be quite concerning. The best approach is to reach out to Amazon Associates support as soon as possible and share your experience. Let them know about the suspicious clicks you’ve noticed; they’ll appreciate your diligence!
It might be bots, scrapers, or something similar. Tracking clicks and blocking any suspicious IP addresses can help! I've gone through this myself; I usually get around 20,000 clicks a day, but one day I woke up to a surprising 150,000 clicks! Once I figured out what was causing it, I was able to block them. Interestingly, Amazon Associates never contacted me about it.
