I have been trying to use the link capsule to add product links from Commission Junction, and other affiliate networks.
But apparently this is not the correct function for the link capsule, because every single link has come up as a bad link.
When I use a destination URL, then the links are good.
Just checking to make sure I'm on the right track here, so would appreciate any input.
Thanks.
as far as I understand, the links must land at a destination, not a product, it needs the URL.
here is a good hub about using capsules. hope this helps.

rebekah is right--you can't link to other affiliates or products in the link capsule. They are only for links to other sites or info.
You can only include the affiliates HubPages allows--eBay, Amazon, Google and Kontera. eBay and Amazon each have their own capsules which you can use to include specific products from their sites.
Thanks for that link, Rebekah. It's very useful.
Somehow I was under the impression - obviously a wrong one - that two links were allowed to other affiliate sites besides Amazon and Ebay.
Apparently the deal is that two other links are allowed, they just can't be affiliate links.
Glad to have this cleared up so I can quit thinking about it!

I am almost ready to publish a new article, and I want to add two Amazon Capsules. I know how to do it the old way. But I saw on lobobrandon and a few other's hubs a different way. There is just an orange "A" and what looks like a hyperlink, and when clicked, it takes the reader right to...

I am seeing the kind of traffic I used to get a few years ago after pages have been moved to niche sites but I'm getting a fraction of the Amazon income. There are a lot of factors involved but a main suspect for a significant part of this issue this has to be the replacement of Amazon capsules...

I like to add in-text links when I'm talking about certain products as I not only think they are some of the most effective, but also some of the most helpful. What I don't understand is why there is a limit of 2 in-text amazon links whereas we can make a slew of Amazon links using the Amazon...
