    Does anyone know how to do this (the logo like the one on HubPages sites? The help page on the Amazon site is missing the code that explains how  and Amazon aren't providing customer service.

    If you've linked correctly to amazon.com the logo appears automatically. Only the American Amazon link will earn you anything.

    If you link to any other Amazon site, for example amazon.co.uk no logo will appear, and you won't earn any commission from that link.

      I'm trying to implement the icon on a blog. It is possible, but I can't find the code to add to a link to make it appear.

    Sorry. I misunderstood. I though you were talking about the niche sites.

    You will find the code you need on the Amazon website, in your affiliates account.

      The problem is I can't find it. I can implement a text based link, but I can't work out how to add an icon. I'll see if there's an Amazon forum. Amazon themselves won't help at the moment.

        Amazon does not offer this. You need to do this yourself if you want to. I did it on my website. I just add an image before the link, but you can code it such that if the link points to amzn include something before it.

          They do say it can be done, but they forgot to put the code on the instruction page here.

            Those are referring to the amazon buy buttons with text on them (seems like an image) if I am not wrong. Found a blog post that explains it: https://amalinkspro.com/can-i-use-the-a … y-website/

              There seems to be two options though: Text links with an Amazon "buy" button and text links with an Amazon logo. They say use the code in bold, but that code is missing.

                They also say they have something on the demo blog, but I do not see it there. Do you see what you want on the demo blog?

                  No, I checked that but there was no info there either.

    I thought by text links with an Amazon icon/logo they meant what HubPages uses, but maybe that has to be done using CSS?

    I'll submit the query to an Amazon forum because it's not really relevant to HubPages. I just thought someone might know offhand.

      It's just an image, no CSS. This is how I made mine:

      <a rel="nofollow" href=AMAZNLINK"><img src="../../../images/amazon.png" width="12" height="12" alt="buy from amazon"/>

        Ok, thanks Brandon, I'll try that.

          You're welcome. As you probably know you need to place this before the linked text and you have to change the path of the image to reflect where you have stored your image. It does not have to be a relative path, it can be absolute.

            I should have known all this stuff, I'm a bit fuzzy on HTML, haven't coded in a while smile
