Linking to Amazon.ca from the site
« on: June 07, 2010, 07:45:08 PM »
I'd love to do my part in supporting this site and forum, and the Amazon.com link is just awesome. But given that I live in Canada, it just kills me in shipping costs if I use Amazon.com to buy stuff.

I was wondering if it is possible to get an Amazon.ca association for the site?

The problem is that each extension is a separate affiliation, a separate currency stream in a different currency, and additional screen real-estate taken up on the site. I've experimented with providing some amazon.co.uk links in the past, and after a year they generated so little revenue that the payout minimum wasn't even met. So... :(

That's disappointing to hear. :( Amazon affiliations are a pain in the rear end, I guess. With the amount of stuff I buy from Amazon, you'd probably get your minimum payout just from me.  :D (Sorry, stupid joke!)

Is there another way I can contribute something towards the running of the site? I remember reading about making donations, but for the life of me can't find the link now.

Anything you see on http://www.jim-butcher.com/store/ supports the site in some way; maybe one of the shirts from cafe press, or something similar?
