I'm a computer dummie, but I've always put ads on my pages. I haven't got a clue as to how all these things work ((and I'm not overly concerned about it) but I'm just wondering what this means:
"Not Active but your external code ... is active." I probably won't understand your answer, but I'll try.
Amazon? It means you haven't activated your HubPages Amazon Program affiliate code, but that your external code is active. That means you're earning from Amazon directly, and not through the HubPages Amazon Program.
If you look at External Affiliate Settings on your earnings page, you'll see that your Amazon status is active.
I'm assuming Amazon, because I haven't noticed any eBay ads on your hubs.
Thank you, Jayne Lancer. If I'm earning from Amazon why would I want to earn through HubPages? I had Ebay ads a while back but they made some changes I didn't understand so I switched to Amazon.
This is a good reason to earn through HubPages: "HubPages offers a very high Amazon commission tier because the volume of sales across HubPages is aggregated for the benefit of all participants." http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/hubp … am-and-ads
If you do decide to opt into the program, wait until you've reached payout on your external affiliate account--you can only have one or the other activated on HubPages, not both.
Thank you, Jayne, but I think it's hopeless. I tried to sign up for PayPal a long time ago but failed. I did everything they asked to sign up, but that didn't work. I really don't want to spend all my time trying to figure out that jigsaw puzzle.
That's a great shame, William. I'd try again if I were you.

Does anyone know how to do this (the logo like the one on HubPages sites? The help page on the Amazon site is missing the code that explains how and Amazon aren't providing customer service.

I signed up with Amazon over a month and half ago and there has been no activity to the account. I notice that the setting in the Affiliate Code box is in a vanilla yellow color with the code written in, and in the Status line it's marked set, unlike Adsense its marked Active. What am I doing...

Hi everyone,I am trying to configure Amazon in 'External Affiliate Settings' although it looks like I do not have this option. It only seems to be an option under 'HubPages Earnings Program Settings'. Does anyone else have this problem or am I doing something totally wrong? Any help would be...

I have been trying to track this down for the last few weeks. Many of my Amazon Ads are using "hubpages-20" as the Amazon ID Tracking code. (My Tracking code is "chef...-20") This all started when HP switched to the new Amazon module. A few things I noticed.1) On some pages it...
