Ok so on my Amazon page my location is set to the UK, but on my hubs I have posted links to the main Amazon.com site, as I think more Americans will view the hubs than Britons. These should still register on my Amazon affiliate page if purchases yes? Thanks for all the help guys DSD
Just to say to everyone on this post, thanks!! I have been on the UK amazon for weeks and not getting anywhere, did'nt realise you had to do the US one. I just changed it. Now perhaps i might get somewhere. I wondered why it was all in dollars!! duh, I can be a dumb ass sometimes! Bring brain into gear for goodness sake Nell. Cheers
If you're affiliated with Amazon UK rather than Amazon US, you will get zilch. Been there, done that, bought the extra-large T-shirt with the stains down the front (until some kind person on the forums put me right).
On Hub Pages you can *only* show Amazon US stuff in your Amazon capsules. That's just the way they've set it up. So if you have a hub that's of interest largely to UK readers and you want to put an Amazon UK capsule in there, you can't.
Thanks so much, I now have an Amazon.com account, so hopefully now it'll work I presume previous items posted from Amazon.com will now be linked to this new reference?
Make sure your Amazon tracking id ends in -20 (the US suffix) not -21 (the UK suffix) and it should all be OK
No, you won't get credited with any sales you made from your Amazon capsules while you had your Amazon UK affiliate ID linked to your HP account. At least I don't think so anyway. Sorry

And anyway, bear in mind that all these questions have been asked before, so most of the time doing a simple search gets you there.
yeah you need yto register for Amazon US, however you can post up to two affiliate links in each Hub, so you might want to consider giving a couple of links to the UK amazon to get a conversion or two from your UK visitors!

I tried to add an amazon capsule to a hub the other day. Hm. No results. In fact, a search on "book" turned up no results. Very interesting. The hub tool must be broken.Later, I went to check on my Amazon earnings account and found that it had been closed. Just "closed". The...

Will new Amazon affiliation cover old Amazon capsules?In the past I've posted hubs with Amazon capsules, but it's only now that I've signed up as an Amazon affiliate. Do I need to do all the links over again or will my new affiliation take into account existing capsules?Thanks

The nice thing about the new Amazon capsule is that it displays the description text in the same size as the rest of the hub. This can be beneficial and may turn into better sales. So I reorganized one of my hubs, moving much of my text from text capsules into the Amazon description fields. This...

I thought my UK affiliate ID was working fine with HP as long as I chose amazon.com based products - seems I was very wrong! You do not get credited with any sales. If you only have a UK affiliate code, you need to apply to amazon.com for another one, which I have just done.

Hi MickiIf you've noticed I've not written any hubs recently, I'm on my vacations from University and thought of doing a 30 hubs in 30 days challenge. Rather, I've gone for a 30 Wizzley articles in 30 days - for a good reason: Their amazon Capsules are way better formatted - users feel like...

While placing ads on hubs, such as Amazon and eBay, how many ads can we choose?I have seen many hubs having more than two ads, whereas when I choose I have options only upto 2, both for Amazon and eBay.
