The hand of god, indeed.
Yo, I get emails from Amazon every week with "special" "affiliate" deals. Is it too tacky/tpw to post some of the links, if they seem relevant?
tacky/tpw
tpw?
Another site, that I'm not going to get into.
Oh! I'm about to make a B&N.com purchase -- are they one of our affiliates?
t edit And I see by actually looking on the links page (duh, Teppy) that they aren't. Bummer.
And I can't remember what the deal was -- if they rejected us, of if I just didn't do it (yet). I'll look into it.
Hmm. Interesting question. How relevant is relevant? Is it something we could just post in one place?

I don't know -- it's a culture shift, but it could be valuable to shoppers and us.
I feel pretty eh about it. I'm the one who doesn't really like the affiliation at all, and though I caved on that, I'd probably prefer not to see regularly what I view as essentially intrusive advertising.
OTOH, I'd hate to be the one standing in the way of Buffistas saving the cash.
I don't usually use the affiliate links, but I wouldn't object to one post a week in Press that just said "these are the deals we've been offered." It's a little tacky, sure, but I know this is a fairly expensive site to run and ifr one ad a week can help that, great.
I know some people object to Amazon over the one-click ordering thing -- is that something we need to consider?
