What are the rules on commission junction affiliate links?
If I post an affiliate link from commission junction, does it have to be text, or can it be a banner?
Hubpages doesn't generally allow most affiliate links.
Also, you can't make a clickable banner on Hubpages.
I've read on here that you are allowed to post affiliate links, you just have to be really sparing with them. I heard that a good rule to follow is one link per 1000 words.
Some affiliates have been blacklisted. So those you can't post at all.
And yes, Hubpages has a rule against linking out to same site more than twice in one hub.

Did hubpages change their linking policy or something? Because this morning my account is showing 50 hubs with violations for linking to prohibited sites. Are affiliates links such as Commission Junction, ShareaSale and Google affiliate no longer allowed? I am at a complete loss...

I have just read an email that eBay will be ceasing using Commission Junction to run their affiliate program as of 1st April 2008. eBay are going to be running there affiliate program themselves.I presume the chiefs at Hub HQ have this in hand so that it does not impact us?

I live in Minnesota, which is one of the states that Amazon has chosen to stop doing business with due to a state tax imposed upon Amazon, for Amazon affiliates in this state. For this reason, I can no longer monetize the Amazon module. I wanted to suggest the possibility of another affiliate...

How about adding a new commission junction module. Same as amazon but you can pull in products sold in commission junction into your hubs.May be modules for a few other affiliate vendors.
