How did you make those links?

Also, do you really think you'll get good word of mouth by piling so many ads and such a small amount of content onto your page?

OK, well, if you were a visitor coming to that page, how would you feel about it, then?

You also said, "The amazon links, i just into the amazon on my sqidoo page and clicked the "help me find products" tab."

I'm not sure I follow you. You did what with amazon on your squidoo page? Chose a product? Did you enter your Associate ID anywhere?

If you didn't, or didn't build the link AT Amazon, when logged into your Associate account, you can't expect your ID to be in the link. It's that simple.

If I remember right on squidoo the Amazon links are via Squidoo not your own affiliate ID and they split the commission with you.

That's what I thought too, so I was trying to get some more info. from him.

Some people try to put links they've set up here on their lens. I couldn't tell from his post if that was what he had done.
