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.
what's the lifespan on the specials, Jesse?
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.
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?
Like the camera and discs I posted in Tech last night.
Jesse, B&N was having problems managing their affiliate program about the time you were signing up. My husband had to apply a couple of times, iirc, though they say they have the bugs worked out now.
I used to post a lot of interesting deal links in Tech, but than I got some negative feedback and now only do so sparingly.
Moral: If you are going to post links, be selective and most people will be fine.
We'll soon need a new Bitches thread. How about ...
Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
Spike's Bitches 26: Are we gonna name this bitch or what?

I guess that should be 25, that's what I get for having multiple art degrees.
Spikes Bitches 25: after a while you just lose count.
