I think that for books, it varies between 6 and 10%. They have a complicated system of variables involved in determining the percentage.

As long as you're buying through Amazon.com, it should work.

That's what our site store is! Clicking on any item in the site store will take you to our "branded" Amazon page for that item. My little tutorial only applies when you're buying an item not offered in our store, like some other author's book or a Blu-Ray player or a sweater set for your dog.

But Duck's suggestion would be really useful, as many of us buy things in Amazon.

Complicated? It's a single copy and paste function. :D Grab the ASIN for the product you want and paste it into the "branded" URL generated by any item in our store.
Ms Duck:
What Im sugesting is streamlining and advertising it a bit, outside this thread :)
like put a section area called 'buy thru us' with a stickied set of instructions, and a blank item order button they can just put the ISN in :)
then, considering how competive and geeky we forum types can be, maybe allow members who go thru this to have a $ beside their stars?
speaking as a buissinessperson, I bet you will double your regular intake if more folks than just the ones who happened to stumble on this thread down here in the bottom of the mods section were aware of how this can be done?
it pays to advertise ;D
