Are you referring to the live link? The text and image with the price? I am having that problem. I have read that Word Press does not allow live links until a certain level of traffic is achieved. Not sure if this is what you are experiencing, but I am interested in hearing all the responses you get.
What i am referring to is hyperlink i think. when i spell out Amazon.com and highlight the text to link it does. but when i open it on the website it opens into a blank page. the actually link itself will work if i insert it through the "add media" link using the url option.
Ah, gotcha. That sounds odd. I have never added a link thru add "media". Gonna have to go look at that. Have you updated the post before checking the link?
Yea. And it links fine for what I can tell but when I view my site and click on the link it goes to blank page. Can't figure it out
Hmm, That link is an Iframe. I guess because you added thru media? Have you tried the short links from Amazon? Oh, it did nothing, only changed the cursor to a hand, it wouldn't click.
No I haven't. I added that link through hyperlink. Where do I find the short link at on amazon
When you sign in you should have the tool bar that says Amazon Associates, at the top. on the far left of the toolbox there is a tab that says, Short Link To This Page. The other one is Link To This Page, just to the left of the short link, either should be good for ya! Your toolbar may be hidden, on mine if it's hidden there is a tiny arrow on the top left to show the box
Oh yea I used that before. That one works. I was trying to link the image one so when they click on the link it takes the viewer right there. Thanks for your help
Sure thing! What I do is copy/paste Amazon's image from "link to this page" then insert the short link to that.
Here's an example, scroll to the bottom to see...http://cuttingwithcronkito.com/ice-grippers-for-shoes-and-boots
I also took the text only link from "link to this page" so you can click either the description or picture and be whisked away to Amazon. Don't forget to tick the box to "Open in new page"

I purchased a domain from WA, The comments moved with my site but in site manager it does not show that i have any comments on my new sire. any suggestions?
Hello,
This is because your new site has an empty new comment sheet on your new site name...
But on your site they stay of course...
This is normal...
