Jesse, I lost track of the discussion. How often were you thinking of doing it?
eta...
Never mind. I was looking the wrong place. The mention was in Press, and you said weekly.
That's 52 times a year you'd post in Press. I don't know. To me, that's not something that's going to have a negative impact on my reading of Press, and the links are something I would use, in theory.
Well, the emails come once a week, I think? I don't pay that much attention, honestly.
Sorry, I edited when I should have posted a new message, I think. One post a week certainly doesn't pose a burden for me personally. In truth, most Press posts aren't newsworthy to me personally. At least these are something I might use, and that use would benefit the board.
I have no problem with one post a week in press -- it doesn't seem like a burden to me to scroll past.
Any way to post a deals page under one link?
jesse, skipping it might be fine because it shouldn't become a giant burden for you and if most people aren't doing anything about it, then does it serve a purpose?
We have been making ~$30-$40 bucks a quarter off the affiliate links, so that's not nothing.
But, Jesse, is that for the deals?
My mistake, I should have clarified.
If posting the special offers means having to have multiple posts or having to create a single external link or whatever, are the posting of the deals themselves worth the effort? Not the general affiliate links.
Oh, right, I know. I'm just saying, somebody's shopping Amazon, so why not let them know what's on sale. I don't know if it's worth the effort, but it's not all that much effort.
If it's not too much effort, I'd like to keep seeing the sale thingies. I tend to forget that there are affiliate links. so it's nice to have the gentle poking periodically. And I like deals.
