SPAM & PLACEMENT IN THE STORE
WebViews and Affiliate Spam
NEXT: WIZARD SPAM
Apps published on Google Play should provide their own content. Do not publish an app whose primary function is to reproduce or frame someone else’s website (unless you have permission).
Similarly, do not publish an app whose primary function is to drive affiliate traffic to a website. Although affiliate deals can exist where an app’s primary purpose is delivering its own content or functionality, it’s a violation of Google Play policies to publish an app whose primary (or only) purpose is to direct affiliate traffic to another website.

For those who cannot publish paid apps on Google Play (developer location not yet allow paid apps) - can one put a link to the paid app on Amazon App Store ?
Secondary question - can one phrase the link so that it opens Amazon App Store (if user has it installed) directly to the paid app page ?
Third question - while folks have said Samsung App Store yields less results than Amazon App Store - the fact is that the bulk of users would be using Samsung phones - and thus could download a paid app from Samsung App Store. So would it be possible to have a link that directly opens the paid app in Samsung App Store ? It is surprising that Samsung App Store is reported to yield less revenue vs. Amazon App Store, since Samsung phones dominate the user base (as far as I have noted).
