Amazon affiliate question
If a hub offers item x for sale and someone clicks on it , enters amazon but decides not to buy yet finds a different item all together whilst they are there am I credited with their sale? Or only if they buy the item in my hub?
Yes, you get credit for the sale. I have been credited with Amazon orders that have nothing to do with the amazon links in my hubs. I believe a cookie is attached with your affiliate ID that follows the person who clicked your link when they enter the Amazon site. So even if they don't buy what you featured in your hub, if they buy something before leaving Amazon, you get the credit, I assume because it was your link that got them into Amazon in the first place.
yes because a cookie would have been planted on this guy who clicked your link

Amazon changed their affiliate program yesterday by cutting the payout for most affiliates by half or more. Has HubPages addressed how these changes will affect content providers here?
