Hello everyone. I'm a new hubber, its been one week now and I have published around 12 artifices. However, I have read many forums but I still can't understand how to affiliate my account with amazon ad program.
why shouldn't I use the amazon capsule present in the tools ?
Ms Fatima, If you shouldn't use Amazon capsule as per rules, there wouldn't be a widget. However, instead of using it, if you give a link to the product in your text capsule, using the link URL option, experts say, it is not causing much disturbance to the reader. The URL link also identifies you as an affiliate. You need not enter into Amazon affiliate programme separately. Good luck.
Thank you so much for the guidance. It's really helpful.
HubPages does not want us to use the Amazon capsules. The editors will remove them. Use text links instead.
Very often some editors will remove the text links too is my experience.
Yes, they often do that too, but it is a little less likely.
There are specific guidelines for the use of Amazon products in articles. If you do not follow the guidelines, your text links will be removed.

Is there any way to add a link to an Amazon product within the text rather than having to always use the Amazon capsule? I used to do that when I had my own Amazon Associates account, but I'm not sure if it's possible using the HP Amazon Program. Personally, I click on links within text more often...

For my first hub I asked my mom if it would be alright for me to do a review of her book. She agreed and I wrote one up. I intended to post a link from my hub to her book on amazon, however, upon further reading I read it is generally a good idea to have one or two hubs already posted before I try...

If one is left behind in technoogical race, he is always at a loss. It always hurts me that there is no provision for pasting a HTML code at hubpages. There may be a policy of HP for not including this element. All the hubbers loose greatly on this account. Although I am sure some of...
