if I just use the Amazon modules or do I have to put in my Amazon Associates affiliate link? I've just been trying to put my link on there but Squidoo won't accept it as a link (I think it's cos it's waaaayyy too long!)
Any help would be appreciated 
Thank you. xx

Hi Red,
I don't use Amazon links per se on my lenses. I use Amazon modules.
However, you should be able to put an Amazon link of your own in a module.
To learn how to shorten the viewable text within a link visit here (you can also do this with your forum link). Note that you'll have to use greater than and less than characters (<> - HTML) in your Squidoo modules rather than BB brackets ([]):

You can actually use both amazon module and amazon affiliate link in your lens and I think you will earn more with the affilaite link. However, the image in the amazon affiliate link will not show on the lens. I just don't know if there's any trick to do it.

If you are using the link module, be sure to cut the <a href=" at the beginning and </a> at the end. just leave the http://... part.

Ok bOsiNg thank you, I'll give it a whirl , it'll have to be tomorrow now though as in Blighty it's 10.30 at night and I'm off to bed. Got to get up at 6 in the morning 
I'm working all over Easter never mind, I get two days off in lieu
