Why Beautiful Women Read This Blog

It’s not just because I’m sexy, y’know. It’s also because the ladies know that they can shop our Amazon Associates links for all kinds of health and beauty supplies. Just the other day, one of our readers ordered an Andis Micro Turbo 1600W Dual Voltage Hair Dryer for $13.99 — which paid me a 4% […]

While We Have Not Yet Sold Any $120,000 7-Carat Diamond Rings …

. . . I was very pleased to see on the Amazon Associates sales report that one of our readers bought a Motorola Xoom Android Tablet for $499.00, thus earning me a sweet 4% commission of $19.96. Another reader bought a Nikon CoolPix camera for $109 — a $4.36 commission for me. Ka-ching! And then […]

To the Reader Who Bought the THD Electronics 30-Watt Rack Mount Amp

Dude, thanks! I checked the Amazon Associates report and was stunned to find that someone had ordered a $1,625 guitar amp, thereby earning me a $65 commission. Once again, I’m amazed to earn a commission on a product I never even knew Amazon sold. And since we’re talking musical instruments, how about . . . […]

Re-Explaining the Amazon Thing (Or, Is Your Husband Reading The Right Blog?)

When I’d mentioned earlier that someone bought a $199.99 piece of jewelry via my Amazon Associates link — thereby earning me an $8 commission — some of the commenters seemed not to understand how it works. Look, here’s the wonderful Amazon “carousel” widget: Amazon.com Widgets This is a selection of products I’ve picked out — […]

To the Reader Who Bought the 1/8 Carat Gold and Diamond Heart Pendant

Honestly, it never would have occurred to me to buy a $199.99 piece of jewelry via an Amazon link from my favorite blogger, but at least one “magnificent bastard” did, and thereby accomplished two purposes: Made his wife, fiancé, girlfriend or mistress very happy; and Contributed $8 toward supporting this blog, for which I’m probably even happier than […]

Thanks to Whoever Bought the Universal Network 3D Blu-Ray Disc Player

Somebody got a sweet deal — only $499! — on that piece of high-end home video equipment via one of the Amazon links here, which earned me a sweet $20 commission through the Amazon Associates program. This is the program Democrats destroyed for Californians with their stupid Internet tax, but apparently the Democrats who run Maryland’s […]

Amazon Goes Galt, Cuts Off California to Avoid Internet Tax in Zimbabwe, U.S.A.

It was in February 2009 that I first compared the situation in California to Mugabe’s bankrupt kleptocracy. And the situation is only getting worse: Gov. Jerry Brown has signed into law California’s tax on Internet sales through affiliate advertising which will immediately cut small-business website revenue 20% to 30%, experts say. The bill, AB 28X, […]

To the Reader Who Bought the Foodsaver V2244 Vacuum Sealer from Amazon

About a week ago, somebody clicked on one of the several Amazon links on our blog and ended up purchasing the Foodsaver V2244 Advanced Design Vacuum Sealer ($79.50) plus several packages of Foodsaver bags ($24.45 and $9.97). The result of your purchase through my Amazon Associates links was a $4.56 commission for me. Thanks! Instapundit sometimes […]
