When I add http://www.sallyforestgoodbooks.wordpress.com to my Amazon author page, it doesn’t accept it as a link to my blog.

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @sallyforestgoodbooks,

Amazon.com offers a good way for site owners to help monetize their sites in the form of Amazon Affiliate links. Placing these links on your site gives your visitors a chance to buy products you review or recommend, and you earn a percentage of each sale.

Note: Affiliate links are allowed on WordPress.com as long as the primary purpose of your blog is to create original content. We do not allow sites that exist primarily to drive traffic to affiliate links. Affiliate links should be related to your site’s content in some way.

If you haven’t already, head to Amazon.com Associates Central to sign up for an Amazon Associates account. If you already have an Amazon.com account, you can sign up with that and save yourself a little time.

Their are following steps in above links you can follow.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!!

@sallyforestgoodbooks What is the RSS feed you are trying to add on Amazon?

I see that you’ve set up your site with a static front page, but have assigned your blog posts, which is what generates the RSS feed, to a category. If so, the RSS feed would be:
https://sallyforestgoodbooks.wordpress.com/category/blog/feed

Just to understand better, is there a specific reason you assigned your blog posts as a category rather than as its own page, as mentioned in the support guide to creating a static front page? https://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/front-page/#optional-create-a-blog-page

No. My internet approach is a little too haphazard for that. The problem is my aversion to reading manuals and directions.
I will go to the links you mentioned and try again.
Thank you, Just Jennifer, for your fast reply.

Hello again @sallyforestgoodbooks Keep in mind that if you change your site’s structure, your previous blog posts will come up as “404 – Not Found” errors in searches because the address of the post will be different from the original.

As it seems you don’t have a lot of blog posts at the moment (2 that I saw), if you want to change the site structure, now would be an opportune time.

If you do change your blog posts to be on their own page following the instructions in our static front page support guide, the RSS feed for your site would likely be something like: https://sallyforestgoodbooks.wordpress.com/blog/feed

Remember also that no WordPressdotcom site uses the www designation.

Let us know if you have any other question about this.
