If I want to add something to sell from Amazon, do I just put the url in the box or do I have to put the HTML of my Amazon Associates account?
*I have signed up with HubPages and separately with Amazon.
Thanks in advance.
You can either use an Amazon capsule or use some anchor text to create in inline link (best option).
When you are editing a text capsule, highlight the relevant anchor text (usually the name of the product you are discussing), click on the chain icon in the toolbar, then click on the Amazon tab. You should see your item in the list. Click it and your code will be added automatically.
Thanks for your reply!
So I don’t need the amazon HTML if I just press the amazon tab on HubPages?
make a word link. After you hub is written choose one word that is what you want to sell. You cannot make it soundlike you are trying to sell something. Choose that one word or phrase and highlight it. click on the link. in the window that comes up, put in what you are looking for. It will come up in another window several items. Choose the one that is closest to what you want. If none of them are, put in a different phrase. When you find what you want in the list, highlight it with a click.
Hope I made this clear enough to help you. Hope it is what you are looking for.
Thanks for the advice. I've done them like this in this blog. Do you think that's fine at the end of the blog?
I will try with a one worder as well.

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...

When you add an Amazon capsule and it says there are no Amazon results found, can you choose your own product from Amazon's catalogue or list? I went to log in my Amazon page but could not find anything on how to do it. . . I saw a hub before saying he have done it, but I could not remember the...

I think I missed something here but have recently seen some discussions about in-text Amazon links v Capsules. How do you put in text links in, is there a special way? Do I just get the link that I get from Amazon when I go on there and choose the product? Or does this only work for people who have...

I planned to use ebay capsule on most of my hubs because they pay per click. As I don't have alot of traffic on my hubs and there are only 4-5 clicks per day on ebay capsules, but my EPC is always zero. I can't understand that whether it is natural or not..Is there any change in ebay policy? Are...
