What am I doing incorrectly?
There's a knack to using Amazon on HubPages. You have to discuss the item in the article. Show how it helped you. Basically, you have to do a sales job on it.
"I found this *whatever* to be a game-changer when it came to improving my memory. And it was fun too. I'm thrilled how my scores keep improving, day by day."
Place your enthusiastic review inside the Amazon Capsule. You can also mention it in the body of the article if you have more to say about it. Essentially, it has to form part of the article. Otherwise, it'll be tagged as 'spammy'.
And just stick to one capsule/product for now. Your reader only has to click through your link for you to get commission on whatever they buy. It doesn't have to be that actual item. The commission opportunity lasts for 24 hours.
And just for credibility, I used to earn around $300 per month on Amazon sales back when HubPages was a decent site to write for, so I do know what I'm talking about

If I was super paranoid, I'd think it was intentional that they'd snip the one article...

I want to gripe! I also wish to say I greatly appreciate hubpages.
My gripe is the new rules and the email Ive just recieved. I have worked hard to make a mixture of hubs. Some more income based than others. I feel you might be taking away part of my small income from this that actually allows me to continue and improve and do better hubs.One hub for example that...
