Ah. Thanks. I'm glad I asked for clarification.
So, when I clink on affiliate links for a free book as someone else mentioned, they earn a percentage of ZERO which is ZERO. But if I then purchase a cordless screwdriver for $180.00 they earn a percentage of that sale even though it was not a book! Interesting. If I don't 'log' off Amazon's site but close any Amazon tabs in my browser and come back later that hour, day, do they still earn commissions?
....... back to the generic concept and not to the quotee....
Well, I still prefer the original or older method. I could just log on, visit this subforum and go back to the last time I logged off here and start looking for freebies by looking at the date in the left column.
Now, if Affiliate xyz posted on Sept 23, 2011, they have to add to that thread. When I come back in one, two or three days, or after a week of vacation, I have to wade through threads that still list "origin" date of Sept 23, 2011 even thought it is now December?
Hmmmm. Well, as others have said, it is not my forum and it is YOUR rules. But....
