Your debug log shows that DNS requests received by Pi-Hole are being properly filtered:

  [2018-12-19 10:37:15.380] Imported 7150 queries from the long-term database
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.381]  -> Total DNS queries: 7150
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.381]  -> Cached DNS queries: 389
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.381]  -> Forwarded DNS queries: 3876
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.382]  -> Exactly blocked DNS queries: 2885
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.382]  -> Unknown DNS queries: 0
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.382]  -> Unique domains: 419
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.382]  -> Unique clients: 4
   [2018-12-19 10:37:15.383]  -> Known forward destinations: 2

Your Pi-Hole lease duration is very long (1 year). If your router lease duration was equally long you will need to clear the DNS cache on each client and renew their lease.

DHCP_LEASETIME=8760

When going to "Block Ads!", it says "no add blocking detected", and on this page "[Mod Edit: Link no longer available]" the amazon adds show up.

It appears the client you are using to view those pages is not routing its DNS traffic through Pi-Hole. Check in the Pi-Hole query log for matching domain requests from that client.
