Author Topic: Buying from Amazon? Support CathInfo in the process! (Read 222975 times)

Many of you know that Amazon.com sells just about everything, and their prices are often the lowest for many items.

The only thing better than getting a good deal is getting a good deal and supporting your local Traditional Catholic message board!

It's a great way to say "Thank You" for years of work put into running this forum. CathInfo was started in August 2006. Besides the programming work and webhosting this forum requires, there are also the constant efforts required to keep CathInfo free of spammers, scammers, sneaks, and all manner of kooks. In general, it's a lot of work to keep a Trad forum like CathInfo relatively peaceful and pleasant.

Each time you visit Amazon.com, try to remember to start your session by clicking a link here on CathInfo -- there's a text link at the top of the screen, and a banner at the bottom. By doing so, I get credit. You don't pay anything extra -- it just comes out of Amazon's profits.

Here is the link:

A traditional Catholic family like ours could sure use the extra income. We have 6 children 9 and under.

Thank you for your support.

Matthew

I tried doing this, but I have no idea if it is working or not. Is it indicated anywhere on the checkout receipt?

If you click the link, it *does* work, I guess you just have to trust that it works.

I also wish they had some concrete indication -- but they unfortunately don't.

I just know that each time someone clicks that link, Amazon's software keeps track for that session (via a tracking cookie). The tracking only lasts for THAT SESSION though -- so if you come back later, remember to start your session from here again!

Thanks,

Matthew

Maybe I should post a list of what people purchased, so you all will feel like it's working?

I know WHAT is being purchased, and how much it's worth, but of course I don't know who is buying what.

I will let you know sometime -- items plus amounts. I got a "big" ($400 -- big for us at least) purchase coming up here in six months. Please keep posting these reminders.
