I would always suggest referring back to the Google Webmaster Guidelines if you aren't sure if something is "kosher". You might get away with some tricks for a while, but eventually they will catch up to you!

Amazon does have its own link shortening service, amzn.to , which you can use by entering an Amazon link at http://bit.ly.
