Not that I was making that much, but the volume of clicks is miniscule compared to what it was before. Anyone else?
Yes, it has dropped dramatically for me too. But it may not be due to the change in how the links are displayed on HP. I've noticed the same drop on my personal website where I have affiliate ads. I think that now that physical stores are re-opening, people are buying less online.
You could be right. I am not rushing out quite yet. I am actually astonished at how little I want or need.
Amazon clicks are down a bit for me, but it seems that CPMs have jumped up.
They seem to have dropped a bit in the last few days. Could it be because the orange icon on links doesn't show any more? Also some readers will not recognise underlined text as a link. Couldn't it be a different colour also?
I certainly did not recognize that they were links, and if I did not there must be others out there.
Maybe the only way to get Amazon clicks any more is to put some text in the article "and if you click on this Amazon link ..." However, since Amazon is paying so terrible now I do not think it is worth the effort.

I've noticed an increase in Amazon sales - most I've ever had. Anyone else noticed that? Is hubpages emphasizing Amazon more? They also earn through it.
