Jeff’s Amazon Links
I just got a gift certificate from Amazon in the amount of $34 for doing just about nothing. A coworker mentioned a few months back about how he put up some links somewhere on a web page to Amazon under their referral program and he just gets money everytime someone clicks a link and buys something.
I decided to try it out and put one up on The Scrabble Rack, my Scrabble tool site that gets the most hits of anything on boulter.com. Based on people buying random things through there and a little bit of Christmas gift purchases on my own, I made $34 for doing just about nothing.
So I decided to blow it out and make it easy for people to give me money. If you’re going be spending money at Amazon anyway, why not give me a cut of the action? Check out http://boulter.com/amazon/ for some nifty tools for you to use my amazon links.
One of the fun things about this program is that you get to see a report (without names) of the things purchased through your links. You would think that most of my stuff would be Scrabble-related, but that’s far from the case. Here are some of the more interesting ones.
- Plaid big shirt - does this come in small?
- Your Yorkshire Terrier’s Life : Your Complete Guide to Raising Your Pet from Puppy to Companion - The perfect stocking stuffer!
- Masters of Theory: Cambridge and the Rise of Mathematical Physics - got $1.45 from this one!

We dragged “Jeff’s Amazon Links” to the toolbar as instructed and nothing happens when you click on it. Something is amiss, oh Sage of the Internet.

OK-It’s working now.
