Hi all.

Would someone please take a look at my page, I never expected to earn a fortune but I have had 508 clicks and have not earned a penny, The only order I have is one that I placed myself, For a book from the USA which I never received, I never got charged either but coincidently my credit card was fraudulently used (in the US) within a day or two of placing the order. I do fairly well on epn and adsense yet all I get is a big fat zero from amazon.

Thanks in advance, Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi Nick

I'm no expert in this, just sorting my first astore today. But, it looks like the text links you have don't have your associate id - have a look at the Amazon link at the top of the page, and you'll see the link contains nickdebbivint-21. This just takes me to my amazon home page (ie nothing to do with matchbox toys). The text links don't have that id, but do go straight to the product page. You may need to check those out.

Like I say, I'm no expert.

Cheers

 

Paul

Thanks for the info Paul.

I will check out what you have advised, I had a previous account with amazon running for a couple of years and that eaned £0 too so I recon you could be on the right track.

Thanks again.

Regards.

Nick.

On the contrary, your product links are correctly tagged (maybe you have changed them since you posted this morning?).

So, I'm afraid you had 500 clicks and no orders. Although that is disappointing, it isn't impossible.

However, in an unrelated item, that link at the top of the page has outdated creative. Unfortunately, Amazon's programmers do not seem to understand that the creative is supposed to be updated over time; that is, new graphics should replace the old graphics, under the same file name. Instead, they create new graphics with new information (there is now NO minimum for free shipping), leave the old graphics with outdated information (it has been 5 since it was 15), and expect Associates to change their sites. Bottom line, get yourself a new banner/button to replace what you have there.
