Amazon Shopping - Do it from Here and Support Wildlife Gardeners!

[Birding Bunch]

Thank you for directing me, sprucetree. I was so confused not finding Amazon since you mentioned it. I kept thinking, it had to be right in front of my face.

I must be dumber than dirt, as I've tried following all the instructions, and NEVER have succeeded in reaching Amazon.com from post no. 1 in this thread. The only way that I ever have succeeded was to have clicked on an existing link in a subsequent post...

This is driving me crazy too! If it's not working for you it's probably not working for some others.

I've tested the link while signed in and as a guest while signed out, with both the Firefox and Internet Explorer browsers. It worked each time.

It could be a setting on the browser that you use, but if it works for you on other links that doesn't seem too likely. Could it be that the browser is opening a new window or tab that is being obscured by the original window? What happens when you click on the link?

Ya know something.... I just checked a list I did for BB on books for IA and I clicked on every single one of the links and they all converted to being links that gave credit to the site.... every single link I clicked on that I added to the post over here, Quite Overwhelmed had the identifier on it!!! I just figured something out.... if we can't get a link or something to work.... all we have to do is delete everything after the / where the ref code starts and add the code that gives credit to here, ref=nosim/?tag=wildlife-gardeners-20 It looks like all their links have some sort of a referrer code that must tell them if we're coming from a yahoo search or somewhere else so if we just cut out the code and add our own.... that way they get the 2-3% credit!!!!

adding.... can somebody make the referrer code that gives us credit bold for me... I never could figure out how to do that!!!

How does it work?
When you click on any Amazon link on our website (book titles, etc.; they all start with "Amazon.com:") you are taken to the Amazon website. If you then make a purchase at Amazon we will earn a small commission for the sale. It works for everything that you purchase at that time. You do not have to buy the product in the link that you used to get to Amazon. After you get to the Amazon website from one of our links just go to the products that you want to purchase, put them in your cart, and complete your order. It’s all done automatically. Amazon knows that you came to their store from Wildlife Gardeners and they will give us a small commission for the sale.

For the purchaser everything is exactly the same as any shopping experience at Amazon. Same prices, same deals, same services - same everything. There is no additional cost to you.

And at the same time you will be providing Wildlife Gardeners with some much needed financial support. It will help to pay the costs of keeping Wildlife Gardeners online. It’s a great way for you to get the products that you want from the Amazon store and help support Wildlife Gardeners at the same time!

---Most Members know about Amazon and the idea of joining Prime for 79.00 dollars a year has many benefits and even guests can use it. --- If you have trouble with linking the only 2 things I can think of is your provider or security is setting the cookies wrong. Enabling Cookies is what lets your computer link. Equil> Don't think bold-face would work, Everyone would have to change settings and Amazon might not want to support 2 links.

For all of you Cyber shoppers don't forget that you can help support WG by using WG's Amazon Associate Program (see post #1 in this thread).

Thanks for the reminder, Cirsium.

I keep frequently used websites on the bar under the url, sometimes referred to bookmarks, so can we do that with the link for WG/Amazon purchases? Or is it timed to expire in ten minutes?

If we can make it that easy, I'll give it to my son who just spent $800 last week on Amazon for a used ipad. He's favoring Amazon now anyway!
