"Buy From Amazon" link
 

Yo MoFos.

I just posted an announcement about a Buy From Amazon link I just added to the Quick Links menu. It's just a standard affiliate link; anything you buy after clicking it, we get a tiny percentage of. I wouldn't ask any of you to go out of your way to buy anything new, but if you're thinking of buying something from Amazon anyway, and you can remember to click that link first, it'd be a real help for me in terms of justifying all the stupidly ambitious plans I have for the site over the next year or two.

We're not "in trouble" or anything like that; I've worked hard to make sure this site is cheap to run, so we never have to resort to anything crazy like charging for anything, or even asking for donations to keep it afloat. But it does take up a lot of time and, as I increasingly resemble a grown-up human being, that time is a little bit harder to come by, and little things like this can go a long way towards making it a lot easier to carve out more time for it in place of more lucrative (buy way less fun) work.

Anyway, if you guys are willing, and can remember, I'd greatly appreciate it. It's a small thing to remember, but it could mean a great deal. Thank you. :)

If I ever buy from amazon I'll go through Mofo first.

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

I saw that, but I wish it had been up bit sooner as I just purchased about $100 worth of stuff a few days ago.

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

I buy stuff through amazon all the time so I will definitely go through the MoFo link first.

Same here, except I did about $300 worth. :(

Just to make Yods feel a bit better...

I only spent 20 quid yesterday on Amazon ;)

(And all my final xmas prezzies are set to be 'mixtapes' & 'maker' stuff. If I need glue tho, I will buy MOFO glue :))

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

Yeah, I meant to put this up weeks ago, and I'm pretty stupid for procrastinating. My bad. Hopefully a few MoFos procrastinated similarly on their present-buying.

Does it only work on amazon.com or for amazon sites in other countries?

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

That's great, I plan on ordering from there soon, I'll make sure to use the link!

Not as it stands. I might be able to sign up for an Affiliate account on the UK site, too. I'll look into that. Thanks for asking.

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

so, like, if i already added something to my cart, can i just go off the site, then go to it again through the Mofo link and proceed with the transaction for it to work?

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

Will this thing show you what we buy?

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

Re: UK stuff. Doesn't look like I can do anything about that at the moment, so if you need to order from the UK site I guess it probably won't help.

Re: things already added to the cart. Not sure. If you want to be safe re-adding them would do it.

Re: me knowing what you buy. Yes in that they show what's sold, but no in that it's not attached to any data that would allow me to identify who bought it. Not that it matters to me either way, but that's the info they provide.

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

I will be using this later this week. I'll be getting El Camino by the Black Keys. We also have a lot of "wish list items" from there which may get snagged too. Is this going to be temporary or permanent?

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

Dunno. It's tucked away pretty unobtrusively on that menu so I guess there's no reason not to leave it there for the time being.

Many thanks to everyone who chooses to use it. :)

it'd be kinda fun to try to decipher who bought what, though. :D

you: "so, ash, bought some new underwear, eh? old ones getting kinda ratty? :cool:
me: Yoda! :blush:

You buy your underwear from amazon?

Re: "Buy From Amazon" link
 

well, some of them. :indifferent:

Which ones?

The tiny ones that can slip through her door's mail slot. And in some cases, so tiny they can slip through the keyhole.
