Now I have to manually copy the code to the other mashine.
Thats very inconvenient…

Here are a view suggestions to make it even better:
- add trust to your blog by using the same theme as on the main page.
- a firefox-plugin would be great that tells me on every site you have a contract with “hey, click here to make the link/page green” and even a feature-checkbox “green every amazon(…) link automatically”. Why? Even if your bookmarklet is great ther is still a good chance that I will forget to click it at the right moment.
- with this firefox-plugin you could also say “this link is already green”. (I am thinking of those message-boxes like “save passwort” at the top of the screen that dont go in the way).
- maybe easier: build a geasemonkey-script with those features
- this script could also change every amazon-link on the search-result-page already by adding your affiliate-name
- add a “this url is already green” to the bookmarklet if I click it twice.
- publish a list of the sites you have a contract with.
- make the bookmarklet tell me if there is a contract allready
- and how much i will give to gas by buing.
- do you track all the sited the bookmarklet is used on? please communicate this if you do so (openness, trust, …)
- make a list of last earend money+site-name on your homepage so everyone can see whats being achived
- support some kind of twitter-word-of-mouth
- important: get a getSatisfaction-account so all the ideas of the community can be managed at a central place… the site is great for this kind of stuff… http://getsatisfaction.com/

thanks and hope to read more soon…

PS: Just wrote about gas at http://www.pfadiblog.de/2008/12/21/online-shoppen-und-gleichzeitig-kostenlos-spenden/

A search for “affiliate” on any search engine should lead you to plenty of affiliate networks that can handle the logistics of running an affiliate program. Just make sure that your affiliates (e.g. – us) can create an affiliate link to any page on your site.

I hope you’ve installed GAS and will be using it yourself in your shopping.

Cheers.

P.S. – I will be adding a question like this to the FAQ, thanks.

I have a webstore and I’d like to enable GAS on it – how do I do so? You say you work with affiliate schemes, are there particular programs with particular sites you are limited to [ie the big guys] or can smaller online retailers contribute too? I think this would be a worth question for your FAQ, as I’m sure you’ll find many smaller retailers curious and wanting to support such a program, and it doesn’t seem at all obvious how this works and whether or not they’ll be able to do so.

Cheers!

Cass
