I am getting a migraine and my hubby is wondering why I havent cleaned the house for 3 days.
The hub that Darkside referred to me was excellent. Very thorough. As well as relache's comment on putting a minus sign.
But honestly could it be my computer (or my brain)?? I cant get the capsule for Amazon to work. I am trying to use the ISBN # for a book and it won't work. I tried the minus sign twice and it worked now it won't. Do you have to make a new capsule for each amazon product or group. I am trying to add some products and a few books. Which brings me to another question if I use the ISBN # it will just bring the reader to the site for the book not the one I am selling in particular.
Also that little icon with the spinning wheel "working" just keeps going. what is it working on.
I am going to close my laptop, rub it a few times, and chant positive thoughts.
thanks
If you're entering an ISBN or ASIN you shouldn't need a minus sign.
In fact a minus sign will most likely cause the process to fail.
Yes, you need a separate Amazon capsule for each keyword if you want to include products with different keywords.
If you are using ASIN rather than keywords, they can be a varied as you like within the one capsule.
The first tab in the Amazon capsule lets you choose whether to use keywords or ASIN.

Actually when I plug a keyword and set it at four items I am trying to keep a couple of the ones that come up, and was told to type the ones I dont want preceded with a minus sign. This did work the first couple of times but now doesn't. I will try to make a new capsule for each different group of products. I also don't want to overdo. The ASIN and ISBN has not worked as of yet. But I understand if the item is sold by a third party it may not work. How do you know this or do you have to keep on trying.
I appreciate the help I am sure it's hard to offer advice or comments when you cant really see what I am doing. Hopefully I am explaining myself right.
Thanks
I've made some screenshots with accompanying captions. Hopefully it'll be a little more easier to understand.

I posted a new Hub this morning which included an Amazon capsule with 8 or 9 related items in it. However when I went back to look it over after publishing, the Amazon capsule was not showing up, there's just a blank space where it should be.When I went into "edit" mode I can see the...

Can I just clarify how the Amazon flag works?When I use Amazon, I often use several capsules with only one product per capsule. I do that, because I want the product to align with the relevant text.I noticed the warning says something about calculating how many products COULD be displayed in...

I have once again been discovering that some of my Amazon capsules are not displaying the products, at first I thought they were sold out or discontinued. It is an ongoing problem. When I try to add new products I have difficulty with that too. The only way I can do a work around is to find...

What's up with the Amazon capsule? They usually show me NOTHING for keywords I enter.When I check for them to pick from keywords, they usually show NOTHING. Yet, I know damn well they have products for those keywords. (I have tried some very generic one-word keywords as a test --...

I often see barely related Amazon ads on pages here. Sometimes, I see ads that seem plain perverse -- ads for Apple TV on an apple pie recipe page, for example.I'm sure a lot of the most unrelated (and harmful) Amazon ads come from the 'choose keywords' feature in Amazon capsules.Might be helpful...

I just received an email from staff stating that one of my hubs was unpublished for links not related to the content my article...the links are from Amazon and Ebay. The article deals with photographing nature's art forms so the product key words for these two capsules was " nature's art...
