Hi,
My Amazon sales dropped to zero since implementing the OneLink feature.
Did anyone else experience the same or maybe I'm doing something wrong?
 
Did you implement the code in your site? Have you tested in your other target stores? I have UK, US and CA and tested with VPN IP's for each location to see what I got when a user followed an affiliate link.

Also, test out the shortened amazon url to make sure it is converting. I found that if I used the shortened link it did not capture the cross store traffic, so went back to using full links. Do some testing on that to ensure you are being credited with the click through.

The situation is very odd on my end.
I did implement the code on my website. I also tested the full link successfully by using the "Check matching products" tool from Amazon.
Ok - so here is what happens. If I access the link from my country in Europe (Romania), it takes me to the UK matching product. So this means the OneTag code was integrated successfully in my website footer.
But when I access my website with VPN from UK or Canada, it takes me to amazon.COM instead of UK/CA.
 
I figured it out.
It did not work because I had the AdBlock enabled.
So conclusion is - for any buyer outside the US which has AdBlock enabled - say goodbye to your sales.
