Discount?

Discount?

That would be nice

I suppose that would be counterproductive to raising cash for ASFN.

I guess so, but I don't have control over the prices at all

What a weird conglomeration. So how do new books here get linked there?

Pretty sure it's just their inventory.

Basically, we're just an affiliate. We get a small percentage of the sales made through our storefront.

It's just their way to get others to do promotion and marketing for them. And they pay a little commission for it.

It's kind of cool though I think...I mean, I certainly will be buying stuff from it when I need stuff on Amazon...like a little discount.

I was expecting something like this:

http://www.buy.at/edalemountainrescue

There's a button to go a certain site. If you get to the site (eg, Amazon) via that button, a portion of the revenue goes to the originating site.

What do you mean you were "expecting"?

When I clicked the link, I expected it to go the full site. I'm not really sure why Amazon would set up this other thing. It's kinda weird.

Maybe I can do that...I'll look into it.

They may have changed the way they do things...that site you posted looks like it could be a bit older? I dunno, but I can find no way to just link to Amazon.com with a referral ID.

Could be. I'm still trying to think of a site where I've seen it done that way (so bear with me while the hamsters do their thing).

I think I've seen bn.com linked to, as well.

Is there any way we can track how much business we give them? I'd be curious.

 

[Mike Olbinski]

Yeah, of course...I have tracking for all of it.

So far, including mine, about 10 orders...the site has made around $7 from it.

Not bad...different channels of income help.
