Affiliate Marketing is one of the money making strategies I want to use to create passive. I've been checking on different ways to promote Amazon affiliate links. I was wondering if Google Ads is a good option. From what I've researched, some people are using blogging and Tik ToK to promote affiliate link. I want to ask that does Google Ads generally prefers landing pages over direct links. Do I need to create a website or blog that features your affiliate links. 

Is it essential to check both Google Ads' policies and Amazon's affiliate terms to ensure compliance?

Has anyone successfully used Google Ads to promote Amazon affiliate links? What strategies worked best for you?
