Thanks to all who are using The Althouse Portal to do your Christmas, Hanukkah, and other holiday and non-holiday shopping.
I see plenty of you are buying toys, which is nice, especially toys for the very young, so here's a special link for that.

If I go through the Althouse portal when I already have items in my cart and then purchase them, does Althouse get its credit? Also, if I go through the portal, add something to my cart, and purchase the next day, does Althouse get anything?
It may have been posted before, but it'd be helpful to understand the mechanism so that I can better contribute to the daily bacon.
The key is to enter through the portal and to complete the transaction before clicking away. So definitely no on the second question. I'm not sure about the first question. Maybe yes.
Thanks for asking!
It looks
Sorry, trying again:
It looks as if the visit needs tobe initiated via the pirtal, but perhaps I am reading the relevant section wrong??
"We will pay you advertising fees on Qualifying Purchases in accordance with Section 8 and the Associates Program Advertising Fee Schedule.

Jeez. Mobile thick fingers. : (
The digital product exclusion is interesting. I didn't realize that Kindle version of books didn't count! Probably should have, but never thought about it before.
Thanks for the complicated text.
I don't see a digital product exclusion and the reports definitely show Kindle books counting.
I am happy to learn that the digital stuff does count! Because... .
As for the complicated text, I didn't write it. I just posted it, having lifted it straight from Amazon's boilerplate, and in response to a query. BION, I am happy to see that I got that wrong, as well. I welcome that as well, without question, in context.

Shrug.
BION = believe it or not
Wow! Nice stuff. I am very glad that I found your blog. Keep sharing such kind of useful information. Excellent one.
