TheMightyEthan Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Site's still running gloriously. As long as we're going to be able to stay in the lowest tier I'd say it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Dean, do I remember you saying an amazon referral link was no good to use? Just it seems like a lot of people buy stuff on there and I'm sure most of us would be happy to click through from here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I don't think I've ever talked about it actually. I can give it a shot, not sure how I could do it though apart from if someone mentioned a title, or in the first post of a thread, I slip in the relevant link? My only major issue would be I'm in the UK, most of the sites visitors are from NA*, I can only sign up for UK and a few other EU Amazon sites. edit: Blargh, doesn't seem to have an option for plain link :/ Edit 2: Anyone still interested in Destiny for PS4? I'll have to find out some Bank info on Wed though, at the moment I can't get any of the funds, and there's no PayPal option, which'd be nice. *Top 5 countries for traffic:US - 57%UK - 19%CA - 15%Mexico - 5%Philippines - 0.4% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 you need an affiliate link for the country the person is buying from (I'm guessing US, UK and CAN), but you don't need to be from that country (i.e. you Dean can be the associate for all 3 countries). Details here. Also, no matter what item your link is for it will track for any purchase that people go on to make after following your link. So if I clicked that Destiny link but ended up buying a teapot you'd still get money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Jack Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Did we ever get one of those amazon clickthrough things? I anticipate buying a lot of stuff from Amazon this holiday season and if I can get this place a little bit of extra dosh by doing it through here then I might as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 We did for the UK. I think I need to tinker somewhat to fully set it up and to make it US & canada compatible. Amazon dot C A, what's the website for that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 So any of you Canadians thinking of getting Far Cry 4 for the PS4? Got a friendly Canadian to help set up the CA account. Now to wait for the block to be lifted on the US set up and I'll maybe hit whatever American looks to be on Steam in the next hr or so to help there. Only caveat on the US n CA affiliate schemes: I can only get in cheque, which they'll only send out on a $100+ amount. I don't know how much you guys spend on Amazon mind, so not sure how frequent that means. Right, best I can tell when linking to something add "?tag=prxordi-21" to the end for a UK friendly link, and "?tag=pressxordie-20" to the end for a Canadian link. That's for "pure" links. Most have all kinds of tagging shit on the end normally, so aim for the link with just hte product ID on the end, nice n short URL. e.g http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IXGU6LG* I'll update with US as n when. edit: So gonna trial a banner in the bottom of the forum (I could be obnoxious n do the "embed in the thread", but as I said, that'd be obnoxious). I'll maybe twiddle with it so there's UK, US n CA footers. *ignore all this bit, just use the footers would be easiest. Essentially it'll still do the affiliate commission even without buying the exact product shown. There's a lot of range with the widgets, so I could go with ones that show a grid of 6 for each. (Heck can even change the Canadian one to show only PS4 games. Won't waste time with it loading Xbox One titles for Cowboy to pass over ).

Vecha Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I am an Amazon-aholic. So...you hook us up with a US connection, and I'll use it exclusively for all my shopping. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 I was wondering, for next year, what folks would like as the competing donation teams. So far my ideas are: PS4 | Xbox One | Wii U Star Wars | Star Trek | Stargate Marvel | DC | Image Comics Skyrim | Oblivion | Morrowind Add some suggestions, then we'll likely vote on em and pick one for next year.

Eleven Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Last generation's epic protagonists. Commander Shepard, Nathan Drake, Ezio? I can't think of any major last generation protagonist right now. I'm sure people won't like Hawke. Does it have to be teams? The Normandy Crew, Drake's treasure hunting buddies, Ezio's Brotherhood? (hmm that doesn't work). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Do you still not have an Amazon US link for use, Mr. Dean? Does this work @deanb ? Edited December 16, 2014 by Eleven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 No Amazon US link. Had a ton of stuff on plate, and at the time I was free the several offers that came in to help out never materialised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
