1. Go to the book/Kindle book/CD/electronic device/foot massager and scroll down to the "Product Details" section
2. Copy the ASIN -- it should be something like "045146365X"
3. Click on the Amazon link for any item in our store.
4. Replace the numeric value in the URL with your item's ASIN: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/045146365X/iagonet
5. Go to that URL. It should be identical to your item's product page, but the "iagonet" at the end is a tag that lets Amazon know we sent you. Place your order from there. You'll pay the same price as before, but Amazon will give us a small cut of the transaction.
6. Bask in the knowledge that you're helping the boards stay alive and healthy!

I just thought to bump this topic again having just used the technique myself for the first time (I don't make a whole lot of amazon purchases)

I know that in 2011 alone, I've spent nearly $100 in Amazon mp3 products, which are at a 10% fixed residual rate, so because I appended the identifier, $10 of that went to Fred. When I bought my Blu-Ray player, $8 went to Fred. Plus about $12 in residuals from everything else I've bought on Amazon since January. $30 from ONE PERSON's Amazon spending! Stuff I was planning to buy anyway is helping to pay for the website and Evie's daycare.
If more forumites took the extra thirty seconds to append the store-friendly identifier to their purchases (as I detail here--I promise, it's less complicated than it looks!), things would bode very well for the site's future AND Evie and Hickslet mk 2's college funds. :D It's better than any "Donate to keep the site alive" button, because it doesn't cost you a dime!

Priscellie is correct, appending the store-friendly identifier takes about 30 extra seconds. I only buy my Kindle books using the store link. And if I were to put a number to the books, I'd say I've spent enough to make $12* for the site since August 2011 (*at a 6% profit share rate).
It really is quite easy.
Dina:
Yay, I bought two kindle books with the iagonet. Not much money, but I am glad I am remembering to use the system :)
Priscellie:
Squee! Thanks to all of you! Each little bit adds up in a BIG way.
