Are you wanting to post affiliate links, or just links to your website?

No, Amazon even has a tool that allows you to easily share affiliate links on Facebook or Twitter. However, do not share them in emails - that's against the rules.

but, see here

[affiliate-program.amazon.com...]

" 8. What types or Social media websites are eligible to participate in the program?

We currently accept only Facebook.com "Fan Pages," "Verified" Twitter.com pages, a YouTube "channel" or twitch.tv in the Associates program. All other social network sites are not eligible to add Associate links, or for use to create an Associates Account. "



i am confused now

Okay, this is at the top of that same page: "Yes - the Associates Program does pay referral fees for qualifying sales generated from social networking sites like Twitter. As with all other means of driving traffic, Associates have to be sure that the method is permitted by the terms of the Associates Operating Agreement and, if applicable, the Product Advertising API License Agreement, as well as the terms and conditions of the specific site on which their links are posted. For example, MySpace does not permit its users to post affiliate marketing links on their profiles. "

That's what applies to you. As for the #8 that you quoted, I believe that refers to the fan page itself registering as an Amazon affiliate, although it's not super-clear to me either. But the part I quoted above is what I go by. I know for a fact that loads of publishers have put lots of affiliate links in FB and Twitter with no problem.
