Amazon Associate

OK I’ve joined the Amazon Associates program to make LOADS of money. Or probably not. But it has set me thinking.

An example will best demonstrate my thoughts:

I’ve got a CD wishlist (which isn’t on Amazon as it really needs to be kept separately.. far too long you see) one of which is Sade’s latest album. I’ve read the reviews, and heard a track or two, and it sounds like it will be quiet good. Then I spot that Hydragenic has an ‘Associates’ link to it. Hmmm I think, just as well I spotted that, or I would’ve just bought it directly. Hmmm, I think again, wouldn’t it be good if there was an easy way to pull the ‘Associates’ links from the sites I regularly visit.

Good idea? Maybe. Just need to find a code monkey now!
