The good news is I just noticed that I received my first Amazon sale!
The bad news is that Google doesn't want us providing relevant product recommendations in our informational hubs anymore, so it may be my last
Congratulations! If you're making money off a hub, I wouldn't alter it yet. I think the problem is with hubs containing a high number of product listings and little information. I have reduced the number of amazon capsules in many of my hubs, but I have kept the ones that are selling.
Congratulations! It's always thrilling to get your first amazon sale. I agree with leahlefler.. you don't have to remove all your amazon links, just reduce the number according to 50 words per link as required. Again congrats!
Congratulations Mike. I know the feeling. I just received my first few Amazon sales back in February.
Great job! It's a great feeling, enjoy it.
And remember to not just rely on one source of income. There are plenty of ways to make money online other than amazon. Diversifying helps you weather any "storms" such as the Google shakeup
Thanks Rosie, tritrain, melpor and HealthyHayden . . . hopefully much more to come for all of us!
That's great! Good job. I haven't made a sale yet on Amazon even though I had lots of daily clicks on my autoblog. Anyway, don't think that this will be your last. You have endless opportunities here.

Hi hubbers, I made my very first Amazon sale two days ago and you can guess how I feel right now. I know there are hubbers who make several sales a day, but this is a very big milestone to me worth sharing. This is a big boost on earnings and now I have all the reasons to get back hubbing. Thank...

I only check my amazon affiliate account on a weekly basis, since I didn't have very many product hubs (I do have a few) and didn't expect a sale anytime soon. I was surprised to see an ordered item the other day! Yay!Even better, when I went to see what the person had ordered (most of my product...

At last! I have finally had my first Amazon sale. It took 384 click but I'm finally there, my conversion rate is now 0.26! Yay.Weirdly the first item I sold has nothing to do with the items I have put on my Hubs, but I'm not complaining. A sale is a sale.

.24 cents! Not impressive, but now I know that the amazon capsules can work for me. It was for a book, entitled: "Hooking Up". lolAnyways,after 209 amazon views, it's nice to finally earn something!I'm assuming it'll be quite sometime before I reach the $10.00 threshold at this rate.

I got my first amazon sale yesterday in over a year! I earned 79 cents! Yee haw! At least I know now they haven't shut down my account! It's wacky that I'm excited over a few cents but there you have it.
