Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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?

That summary post might be the simplest way to do it -- what's the lifespan on the specials, Jesse? Either combine everything into a weekly post, or just pick a day and post whatever's active at that point -- more than once a week would be a lot.
I'm one of the Amazon grumblers, and I deal with it by not shopping there.

I think they vary, but I don't really look that close.
I do figure that anyone who doesn't like Amazon will just not shop there. Actually, this is why I kind of wish everyone could just get the email -- hate Amazon? delete unread.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
What kind of specials are these? I have an affiliate account and I never get emails with specials. Or maybe I opted out a while back and don't remember?
