I was wondering if it's possible to have a feature in which we can tell which Hub made a specific Amazon sale, kind of like we have with the eBay sales. It'd be handy and satisfy much curiosity.
We currently have no plans to change the way that Amazon sales are tracked, but will keep this in mind for future feature development.
Unfortunately, Hubpages only allows the one tracking code for all your Amazon ads.
The other thing is, people who click on your Amazon ads won't necessarily buy that thing. If they buy any number of other things within 24 hours of the first visit (from your ad), you still get the commission from whatever they bought.
Sometimes you can come out way ahead, if they buy something really expensive, compared to what was in your ad. I've had that happen.
I can generally guess which hub made a sale just by looking at the products that are shipped. 'My earnings' (from beneath your user name) then 'Amazon Reports' gives a full list. Sometimes there's a surprise that seems completely unrelated to any hub I've written, but I accept those surprises as one of life's mysteries.

There is a real need to purge Amazon ads from this site but there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it.Pages that have multiple Amazon ads but get good traffic from search engines are obviously not a problem. Google will have hit them long ago if they were triggering spam filters.What...

I received a notice about being charged to keep my Amazon affiliate program active if I have no sales in 90 days. I'm sure others share this issue. Since I agreed to use Amazon under Hubpages program ID, I do earn more commission but now I may be charged due to my own ID isn't producing income.Is...
