I wonder if someone could please clarify for me the position re the 10% Amazon commission which is paid in respect of referred Hubbers? I did see on Christy's post a couple of weeks ago re the new Amazon system that these payments would continue but I am not noticing accruals on my personal Hub stats. I know that all figures at least initially appear only on the writer's stats going forward but I'm wondering whether there is any way I can check these stats before the date of future payment? Thanks for any help anyone can give me with his query.
Could you explain what you need to know in some other way?
There is no more a 60-40 ratio of ads showing. Instead, the 60-40 will be based on the total earnings of all your hubs. It can be seen the same way as you always did under Amazon earnings.
As far as I know, this is only applicable to those who chose the HP Amazon program and nothing has changed for those who do not use it and choose to use their Amazon account instead.
Hi, lobobrandon. I'm referring to the earnings of those Hubbers who have signed up to HP under the referral tracker of another Hubber. Historically, the referring Hubber has received 10% of the earnings (taken from HP's 40%). Christy refers to it in her post on the subject of Amazon earnings from two weeks ago and includes a link to the full explanation.
My understanding was that won't change at all. They'll take their 40% of earnings from any hubbers you referred same as they do you and they will credit you're earnings with the equivalent of 10% or what the people you referred earned. I believe that comes from the HP take as it doesn't decrease the other hubbers earnings - they still keep 60%. So I guess the break down for a hubber you referred would be they keep 60% or their earnings, HP takes 30% and you get 10%. It should be credited the same way it was before. If it isn't then contact the team as it could be a technical glitch.
Yes, I too believe the payments will continue as before Natalie (as stated in original thread on this topic) but I could previously see these figures accruing on my daily stats due to the old impressions allocation system. I understand the new way earnings are posted but not being able to track my earnings of this type is a little disconcerting, just in case there is some form of glitch. Hopefully, one of the staff will pick up on this thread and clarify.

Hubbers need to know if their account is a full-value account worth the full 40% income value to HP. Or if their account is a referred account that is only worth the partial 30% value to HP. Knowing one's value to HP is an important factor in determining how much time, labor, and even money the...

Hi,I have other accounts here (this is my forum account). So far in the two days of Amazon earnings reports in the new HubPages-linked Amazon products, I only see products listed that I directly linked to. Usually I earn commission from products that were bought using my affiliate links...

There's obviously something wrong with the Amazon sales stats that HubPages is putting out right now. The last four days have two zero earnings and two slightly (like cents) negative earnings. This is not normal. Has anyone received an explanation from HubPages?
