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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

-t is me in this case. I keep forgetting we have affiliates (although I don't use Amazon much anymore since finding DDDVD).

I'm all for posting those sale deals in press, provided it requires little to no effort on Jesse's part, and doesn't offend anybody else too much.

I like the posting. Deals are good.

I'm cool with it as it's easy to scroll over if I'm un-interested. And while I didn't take Amazon up on any of the deals, it reminded me that we have affiliates, so my next Powell's order will be via here.

Deals-posting doesn't bug me in the least--except that it reminds me that I shouldn't be shopping online with my income.

I'm good with it, and, yeah, it reminds me about the affiliate links, which is a plus. Nice of you to do, Jesse, thanks.
