Hey Brad - any way to find out how many items ..

[alimfp]

I don't know how your affiliate linking tracks (if at all?) how much/what is purchased?

 

I am just curious if you've seen an increase in number of items bought or whatever on Amazon since the toy deals started? Any stats? I love numbers..

We are no longer an affiliate of Amazon (and haven't been for almost a year now). They decided a year ago that they didn't want most deal/coupons sites as affiliates because we post deals which they don't make much money on after they pay commission.

Wow, I had no idea.

 

How nice..

Yeah, they probably feel that "deals sites" will post their hot deals anyway so no reward is warranted. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Rude/yapyap.gif

Where is the list of affiliate stores? I thought it was the "store" tab next to "forums".

It is...isn't it?

Oooh... I see now that amazon.com is listed there.

That list is mostly affiliates, but it also contains stores which used to be affiliates and no longer are for technical reasons as keeping them in the database would make it easier to change all the links on the site at once if they ever change their mind. But no, they are still not an affiliate.

Is there anyway to see stats about where people shop? Might be interesting if available.
