Amazon Associate - Testing Mode

Post by Vain »

Hi,

I'm experimenting with the Amazon associaties goodies. You will notice a bunch of words at the bottom of the forum - apparently this is called a tag cloud and it's supposed to represent the content of this site and link to relevant stuff (I'm not sure it does just yet :) ) I need to mess around with the other goodies to find the best fit for KW

What's this for? Well I figured that if we buy stuff through Amazon, we may as well do it through something linked to KW. There's a 4% referal fee that goes into the KW coffers that I'd like to use to reward people for their contribution to KW - maybe align with the annual watchies (open to suggestions)

Of course I have no idea if the volume of stuff we purchase through Amazon will amount to much so have no idea what it wll add up to over the course of a year - it may be $1.50 and that's not going to buy much.

I'll add more to this as my thinking evolves :)

Vain... You know I love you. But seriously... There will eventually be an end to all of this extra crap being put onto the Watch...right?

Call me a minimalist, but the Watch is starting to look like, um, er, something with a lot of extra crap on it.

;) :P -jay

Do you know how many sites want me to buy my Amazon stuff through their link?

Sorry, but if I use any link, it will be the one for my favorite non-profit.

Not to be a schnook, but...what's one more site then?

Hey, if it helps pay the bills, I don't mind as I'm not on dialup anymore, and neither is Menolly. But if there are still some dialing up, then that seems like a good point in all of this.

And since I will be travelling this weekend, I will be using dial-up to access from my Father-of-Love's place. I will have to see if stuff like this slows down my browsing speed.

some serious problems another board had with this

however, Amazon has supposedly fixed the problem? :?

It drove me nuts when I had dialup; now that I have a super fast broadband connection it is fine; I do not know if the problem is better or just my connection. ;)
Love as thou wilt.

Since all we have here is a link now, does it matter?

You can only go through one site at a time. ;)
