When do I tack on my affiliate code, when putting a link in hubs?
I'm not very clear on some of this. Say I want to mention Amazon.com, or a page from the site, in a hub...should I use the link capsule and tack on my own Amazon affiliate code to the end of the Amazon link?
Or is that unnecessary, as far as earning anything, if someone clicks on the link from my hub?
I hope I explained that clearly enough!
Thanks W.E.! That's what I was wondering about--the links that I add to a text capsule. I didn't realize that about the limit of two, though--that's good to know, thank you very much.
If that's the case, then it's probably better to NOT put a link in the text, and rely on the adjoining Amazon capsule for earnings, then? I mean if I do a hub on a variety of products, which would exceed the limit of two affiliate links that I'm permitted.
Some of this is still so confusing, even as long as I've been on here, lol...Ah, I understand now! Thanks again!
What about links to sites that I'm not affiliated with--can income be earned off of those, if I put one in a hub, and someone clicks on it? That's another thing I was wondering about, but haven't found the answer for...No, I meant sites outside of HP, unfortunately!
I thought that might be the answer, because I didn't know how they could track earnings if I wasn't an affiliate. I think I'll just put that idea aside for awhile, and stick to what I understand so far!
Okay, no more questions, sorry to be a pest! I really appreciate you taking the time to help me--sometimes I get so flustered when reading all of the learning sites and informational threads, that I end up not absorbing a thing...
It surely was!
The little I've learned about all of this has been picked up in bits and pieces--I'm in awe of folks like you who are so knowledgeable!
But I'll just keep picking at it, and eventually I hope to know enough to open up a website of my own, so I can get make enough money for my husband to be able to retire...
Ah, dreams......
