Affiliate Links for "arcadata"- September 2011
Okay, so you may know me since I post a lot of free and bargain books in this forum. I did add affiliate links to my posts before (the links look like this-> http://www.amazon.com/Fifth-Woman-Wa...ag=arcadata-20), but I've been told that isn't allowed anymore in the main forum. I'll be allowed to continue to post my affiliate links in this personal thread though.
Basically, what happens is that I earn referral fees (starts at 4%) whenever a visitor follows my link to Amazon.com (for example) and then makes a qualifying purchase. It was a pretty good incentive for me to spend time here sharing any freebies and bargains I found since I would get extra money per month to spend on books & apps! So, hopefully, if you don't mind me getting a commission, you'll come visit this thread and click on my links when you're planning to buy something! My plan is that I'll be posting any bargains I find in this thread, but I'll continue to post any freebies I find in the main thread. |

I'm sorry to hear that's not allowed. I like "tipping" people who do the hard work of finding deals for me. Otherwise, why would anyone spend their time doing so??
So, yeah, I'll subscribe to your tip jar. ALSO: Can you also post the Kindle Daily Deals here? I like having those in a single thread for me to check, and I'm happy for Amazon to tip you for the service. Last edited by anamardoll; 09-25-2011 at 12:33 PM. |

I was wondering why when I clicked on some Amazon freebie titles from here that the web address said "arcadata" - now I know.

That's nothing against the affiliates, I just find that a rather odd remark. We do it because we enjoy it. |

I had asked about referral links a while ago and was told there was no problem. I wonder why it's a problem now.

arcadata, i knew those were affiliate links, and i'm fine with it. you spend a lot of time finding freebies and deals for us, and imo you deserve the opportunity to make something for your very consistent work at finding us new stuff to read

Guys, there is a sticky at the top of the forum about affiliate links. (I know my eyes tend to gloss right over that whole section.) If you don't like the new format (or if you do!!), check out that thread and voice your opinion.
