Evening All!
I recently wrote my first hub and opened an amazon associates account. I got a response saying the following..... "Unfortunately, we will not be able to accept your application. Upon review, I noticed you supplied the popular site www.hubpages.com as your registered URL. Your application and account have been rejected and closed.
We need a complete and valid URL for the website where you intend to display links to Amazon.com before we can process an application."
Does everyone who advertises amazon products have their OWN website too or am i missing something?? Please help as I am all geared up to be a hubber but have fallen at the first hurdle!! I notice the amazon books I listed on my hub came up alright so I am completely confused.
many thanks.
No-one's answered so I'm only trying to help.
I don't think the link the want is the general hubpages address, ,but your user name URL? The one at the top of your profile page?
I agree. Copy and paste the one in the browser of your profile page or a published hub url.
Try submitting the actual URL of one of your published hubs. If that doesn't work, I would suggest starting a free Blogger blog, adding some solid content over a few days and submitting that URL for approval.
Once approved you will be able to use your Amazon Associates ID across other sites and platforms such as Hubpages.

Thank-you both for your replies, perhaps my behind-the-scenes admin needs some attention. I shall try opening an account again next week with your suggestions. Fingers crossed.
Simone,

Got it, it is your profile URL, give this a read

I have an Amazon Associates account, with a store name starting with: hubp0bd...It was clearly set up to work with hubpages but I don't think it's been in use for 10 years. Can I use this account to link products on my new blog and earn a commission?

I read my amazon report about once every two weeks and have never had a click through. I found a link checker in my Amazon associates page and put one of my hubs in in and get this message:Fail: The link above was not tagged or was not a valid Amazon link.Any thoughts?

I had an Amazon Associate's account for almost just as long as I've had my Hubpages account. While I never really earned much on it, I still appreciated the little income I would get, especially around Halloween. I then tried to sign up for the Hubpages Amazon program, but after trying it for a...

I'm kinda pissed and extremely dismayed. I've been with Hubpages and Amazon Associates for 5 years now and haven't made a dime with Amazon the entire time. I've reached out for help numerous times and not a single person told me that I have to get my Amazon links from the Amazon Associates website...
