Affiliate links

[Maz]

This was mentioned a while back, but I'm trying out Amazon affiliate links - for various things already listed on here from Amazon. As a way of helping fund the forum ongoing. Any page that has them will say - this page has Amazon affiliate links. There probably won't be that many - just for items already suggested (eg on the cages page or the occasional article) instead of the regular Amazon link.

It means if someone buys the item from that link, the forum gets a small percentage. However, you may find some items are cheaper elsewhere and want to shop around! Certain cages are only available from Amazon however.

It's a work in progress and you probably won't notice much difference - I'm just changing the odd old link for a new one

It may or may not help fund the forum! It doesn't earn anything until at least 3 purchases have been made. But I have added some bedding links in the bedding and litter article, for fitch, megazorb, carefresh and aubiose.

In fact maybe I should do a bedding thread as well as cages thread - with all options listed in one place on the forum - not just in the article, which just mentions a few options.

It's going to take me quite a long time, a bit at a time so nothing will change that suddenly, although I have updated the cages list and the bedding/litter article.

It's a good idea, and very useful for us. Thank you I like the idea of having Amazon links for products. I think we usually link the Amazon page anyway, so why not get paid for it? A definite yes from me.

That's exact;ly it. The links are already there for various things Not everything linked on here is from Amazon of course! There are links to various other sites - wherever items are available or a choice for prices etc Eg Rodipet, Ferplast etc. but most Ferplast items are sold on Amazon and usually cheaper there, and quite a few Getzoo items are sold on Amazon as well with quicker delivery and delivery cost included.

So it'll just be like before. Eg on the cages list, if there's a choice of stockists I still put the cheapest option usually, regardless of where it's from, or a couple of options (becuase prices vary on different sites all the time anyway).

Time will tell whether it makes more than £1 a year or whatever
