i appreciate the help, y'all... a lot. i'm crossing my fingers this place becomes self sufficient this year (being year three).
i don't think you can find out as a consumer about the amount kicked back by going to amazon by using the links here.. i can see the number of clicks on the amazon central page, and i can see how many resulted in purchases by percentage of 'clicks'. i can even see what was purchased, though it's an ass pain to get to that section- a section which exists in essence so web guys like me can see what it's travelers are interested in and perhaps advertise those in particular if a trend develops...
it's so across the board- the 'income', that i don't even know how to determine what 'percentage' of sales we get in kick back.. i think it varies by product. i'd wager it's somewhere in the 10th of a point to 2 points max, but that is just a SWAG.
i appreciate every cent... other than the hours in this joint (which i don't mind), we gotta make $3500/yr to hold it together (cost of server, NOT a shared environment and 100% responsible for our stellar 'up time').
