   I have just recently have tried to join up with Amazon.com and was denied because I do not have my own web site (yet). This maid wonder how many “hubbers” actually have there own web sites and do I really need my own site to use Amazon.com or have I misunderstood how to sign up with Amazon.com? How do others writers on the HubPages use Amazon.com with out a site? Thank you for your feedback for sometimes I can get confused on the best way to do things here, even after I read all the great hubs on how to use all the different tools. Thanks again!

      I have 2 websites - one has Amazon products but I didn't put them on the website until a few weeks after I'd signed up with Amazon on HP.  I'm sure your HP Profile link is enough for them to accept you.
      
      These instructions should help:

   I've had my own website for eleven years now.  I joined the Amazon affiliate program before Google even existed.

   I have Amazon affiliate on <URL snipped> and no problems with signing up once I jumped through their hoops. I have to admit, I have not tried implementing Amazon affiliate on Hubpages yet though.

      many of us are still learning.
      I've had my own web site before HP, but I do not any ads on it, at this time. I do have amazon on my hubs, but am not sure I'm getting clicks.
      
      how do we know if anyone has clicked on an amazon ad?

            hmmm, I guess there is nothing to check, no clicks. I thought it might show clicks but no sales? am I missing something? or just not getting any clicks at all?

   Currently I don't have my own website, but I have a blog. I applied for Amazon was back when I did have one. I think I even managed to get accepted to Amazon when I had a Geocities website. I think it was before Google too

   I have a website, not very active, and not sure Amazon knows about it.  I applied to Amazon a couple days ago, going through the link and following the instructions from HubPages. Go to my account, affiliate settings, click on 'edit' by Amazon.  THere is a link for instructions and screen shots, and an application link.

    I have multiple websites as well as some free blogger blogs I use for backlinks to hubs and websites.
    
    I just applied for Amazon when I started with HubPages, but I believe I gave them the URL to my profile as instructed on this page: http://hubpages.com/help/AmazonAssociates.
    It was hassle-free.

    I do, but I don't do much with Amazon.  I tested Amazon on a lot of pages and it just wasn't working for me, so I had a choice of making it work and finding out why it was unsuccessful, or binning it for ease.
    
    So I binned it.
    
    Amazon works well for some sites, not for others.  Mine isn't the sort it works well with, so I prefer to either have white space or fill it with something that works.

    I have a website, but what does that have to do with being an Amazon affiliate? I use my website to promote my books and photograph.
