The Squidoo Amazon modules only work for purchases from Amazon.com

Non-US lensmasters please note you may not receive commission

Non-US resident Squidoo Lensmasters need to be aware that the Amazon modules only earn Squidoo royalties for goods bought from the Amazon.com website. You will receive royalties for purchases from Amazon.com, no matter what your country of residence PROVIDING you reside in a country to which Squidoo can make payments.

On the home page of Amazon.com, visitors are presented with links to non-US Amazon sites, including Amazon UK and Amazon Canada. You will not receive any commission for purchases made by any visitor who clicks through the Squidoo Amazon module, lands on the Amazon.com site and then clicks through to their own country's Amazon site.

For any non-US Squidoo lensmaster to earn royalties from their own country's site, you need to set up your own independent affiliate account and link to that in addition to the Squidoo Amazon modules.

You can see an example of what I have done on my lens Philips Satinelle Epilator where I wrote a review of a product I bought, but which is not currently available at Amazon.com. You can either link to a picture of the product or link to the logo for your country's Amazon website.
