Hello Andy,
thank you very much again for the good support. I found the wrong links. They looked something like:
Code:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00RQOJI7E/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk
I entered the book title in the Amazon search and now the detail page had an URL like this:
Code:
http://www.amazon.de/Vergiss-wer-warst-charlotte-enders-ebook/dp/B00RQOJI7E/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1424016253&sr=1-1
then I read this article here:
http://www.newselfpublishing.com/AmazonLinking.html
and used the Amazon Link checker:
https://partnernet.amazon.de/gp/associates/network/tools/link-checker/main.html (this is the link-checker for the german Amazon Partnernet, I don`t know the URL for the international/US site)
and reduced the links to:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00RQOJI7E/
So the format that works well is:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/
ASIN/?tag=
yourpartner-id
You could also do an automatic search and replace to change the wrong links from:
Code:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00M8TNO3Q/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk
to
Code:
http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00M8TNO3Q/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk
In my case I used phpMyAdmin to run this SQL query:
UPDATE`xf_post`
SET `message` = replace(message,'
www.amazon.de/gp/product','www.amazon.de/dp')
and fixed all links automatically. Please be very careful with this and test it on a single posting first by limiting the query with a WHERE clause:
UPDATE`xf_post`
SET`message`= replace(message,'
www.amazon.de/gp/product','www.amazon.de/dp')
WHERE `post_id` = 1111111
all the best,
Sacha
