question about Amazon links
well, Im tired of freeloading here, and i have both a game im looking at buying, and a book, probably in the next week.

So
1. If i click through from 'poly to Amazon and buy a game OTHER than the one advertized on 'poly, does that benefit 'poly?
2. If i click through from 'poly to Amazon and buy something other than a game (like a book) does that benefit 'poly

The answer will probably sway where I buy the game (though not the book)

yes on both accounts

to be sure about it and as a small experiment do the following when you're ready to buy whatever you want

0) clear your cookies
1) click fthis link to amazon
2) you'll land on the amazon home page. use the search function find the product that you want
3) add it in your cart and complete the order
4) (the tricky part) mail me the date and products that you got

thanks!

I use Amazon quite a lot. I'll test out whether it works for existing customers as well at some point.

Mark,

Would you like to still perform this experiment (again?) ? I had to buy a couple books for college, because our bookstore ran out, and did so through amazon, finally remembering to actually click through the 'Poly link. So if you want to do this experiment again, I could e-mail you what I got.

Well kick me in the arse and call me stupid...again.

Where did you buy your new game/large quantity of booze Skanky? From Amazon would be good.
