    Default How many of you buy stuff at Amazon?

    I'm thinking of setting up the Amazon affiliate program here. Basically, when you buy something at amazon I'll ask that you click through a banner on the site here so CD gets a little bit of money from your purchase.

    however it's not worth it unless you assholes buy crap from them.


    So, what I want to know is:
    A: do you buy stuff from Amazon.com
    B: If yes, How often do you buy stuff from Amazon.com?


    This includes apps for your Android device, Books for your kindle, etc.

    Ideally you guys will do all your christmas shopping from Amazon, and I'll make enough money for hookers and blow a new vbulletin license.

    god damn it i hate referral links (no good reason why, I just like to hate stuff) but I would click through (make my wife click 'em actually, she spends most of my money anyway) to help you out with this site

    We have prime and sometimes buy stuff once a week, sometimes 3x a day. Curious, do you get money just from each click resulting in any purchase, or a percentage of the total price, or what? Does it have to be Amazon-fulfilled items? (most of mine are of course for the prime shipping)

    Also I think they are still doing free prime for a year if you have an .edu email address, and they also have a year for free if you join amazon mom (for annabanana). Prime rules, I am a pretty big cheapskate but when my free year expired I sprang $80 for it, works out to like $6.75/mo for free 2-day shipping on stuff which is all I use it for really, but they also have free kindle rentals, tons of movies and tv shows to stream all included with a paid account. I imagine when we get a Fire this christmas we'll be streaming more.

    I average about one purchase every two months. I'm thinking about getting Amazon Prime. I had a trial account and I liked it.

    Mostly kindle books... I've toyed with prime but haven't pulled the trigger.

    I would click sometimes after posting a thread titled "I want to buy XYZ I hope amazon serves me a link to it ITT"

    Just the one. I meant to do a followup post but have been too lazy.

    But I usually from about 2 things a month average from amazon, I buy my games mostly from there since I keep getting credits, which also nets me some free stuff, like when I got borderlands for free.

    I don't have a prime account anymore since they took it from students and I didn't continue it for some dumb reason.

    I get a percentage per purchase AFAIK. I haven't looked into it TOO much, but another forum I frequent recently implemented the system so I decided to consider it.

    I rarely purchase anything off Amazon. Normally, I use it to look for ideas, compare prices, or find things I can't get locally. However, I feel that might change soon because I'm starting to use on-line services more and more. I'm definitely planning on donating my massive library in favor of having a digital and portable library - thinking getting a Kindle.

    I'm guessing there's a hassle involved with doing whatever you plan on doing because otherwise I wouldn't see any reason why not to do this anyways even if a few of us regularly use Amazon.

    It's not that much of a hassle, I've had an amzon associates account for years, I've just never done anything with it. They made some changes recently, though it seems.


    There's a few things I want to do for the forum, but they all cost money.

    1: upgrade to vB 4.1.x

    2: add a few commercial plugins (for post voting & points & old LWS-style bullshit).

    3: If I make enough, I'll give out dildo pocket knives, or something even more useful.

    It probably averages out to once a month but sometimes more and sometimes less. Christmas time it's usually more because you can do a lot of shopping and not much getting out and into crowds. Plus we often let our kids pick out presents at the stores and then sneak some surprises in off of Amazon.com.

    Ok, banner ad is up. If you have adblock on, you probably won't see it.


    In theory, this link should work as well.
    Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more

    Questions: is the banner ad too obnoxious?



    Basically all I ask is that you guys come here, click on the banner, then go do your shopping.

    I believe the banner only works on the main forum page. Tried clicking it in flames and nothing happened.

    the more stuff you buy the higher my percentage.

    Oh cool. I'll try to get some stuff this Christmas when the bonus check comes. Our purchaces range from 25 ( almost never but got to get the free super saver shipping ) to a few hundred ( usually because everyone in the house has to get something. ) How much is a vb license? How do we know this won't get spent on cheese burgers? "Just one more fucking fix Johnny!"

    Also, anyone have the Kindle Fire? Anyone think it's too much to get a 12.5 year old? I'm not opposed to it, but I dunno because we don't have high speed net at the house and any purchases made with it would have to be a the free wifi library.
