Displayed on one of my Amazon capsules...
Amazon Price: $23.92
List Price: $18.95
Hopefully an anomaly...
I checked the capsules on 4 other hubs. All were as they should be.
I've rescheduled my heart attack until tomorrow. At which point I will check things again.
Just guessing here, but I remember the old Amazon capsules had this at one point. The Amazon price is usually the price to buy it from Amazon. The list price is the price of third party sellers, which is often cheaper, but more expensive on postage. Just gives buyers options, that's all.
But does the buyer interpret it like that? If I didn't know better, I'd think it means I can buy the item cheaper elsewhere - although I'm not sure I do know better.
Well, sports fans... Here's what the Amazon capsule had to say this morning...
Amazon Price: $32.74
List Price: $24.45
If there happen to be any screams echoing across the forums later today, be not afraid. It is just the said Amazon capsule noticing my mouse arrow approaching the red X...
If a person is interested in the product being displayed, they would still click on the Amazon link .
Then when they look at the other prices they would notice that the postage is higher from the other provider and go back. ---- that's my theory, anyway I wouldn't worry about it.
Admittedly, my pulse rate has not increased.

I have a question for those of you who use Amazon in your hubs. Let's say that you are writing a hub with a list of different products. Do you think it's better to put all the amazon stuff at the bottom of the hub, all in one place, or to spread the ads throughout the hub, with one ad per product?...

I am realizing that sometimes up to 2/3 of my audience is using smartphones to access my hubs, yet 90% of my Amazon sales are from desktop/laptop/tablet users. This makes me think that a lot of smartphone users are simply not scrolling to the right or perhaps they are not motivated to spend because...

I never get sales from these anymore. Should I just delete them so that it makes the adsense ads more enticing?

Are Amazon links in hub a waste of time?Do people even click on those? How likely are people to buy something just after reading a hub?
