It occurs to me that Buffistas spend a shitload of money at Amazon. Can't we get a kickback if we link to them, here?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The links in the FAQ go to my associates account. I think we've gotten $5 or $10 through it.

I think they should be brought upfront. I'd not go through the FAQ, or remember it.

Along the left hand side, near the links for filk and Buffista links, I'd imagine.

OK, let me look into whether it's possible to have a general link to Amazon that gets us some cash, or if we need to link to a group of specific products (maybe someone already knows the answer to that?). I'll also see if it's worthwhile to create a separate "buffistas" associates link, or if we should continue to filter through my existing one. Finally - it needs to be coded, and should be something I can do myself, but it needs to go through ita who may have concerns about changing the left column.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
For a link to the main page:
[eta: It's also possible to build links based on keywords, or to general departments, like, say, all television DVDs]
[edited again: nevermind about the keyword links, since all they do is generate graphics with embedded individual item links, and I'm thinking we want text.]

I have thought about this for awhile. But why stop at Amazon? We could have a separate links page to dozens of stores that offer kickbacks. Buy.com, Staples, Flowers.com, Babyuniverse.com. TiarasnCorsets.com etc. Some Buffistas purchase office supplies for their office, others are buying baby gear, and there's no reason why these merchants can't kick a little back to help keep the Phoenix flying. The we remind people to use the shopping links for purchases, and cha-ching.
