Physics Forums has established an affiliate account with Amazon.com, allowing members to support the forum by earning 6% on purchases made through specific links. Users are encouraged to remember to use these links when buying textbooks or electronics, as the tracking system registers purchases made through them. There is a discussion about making the affiliate link more accessible, with suggestions for placement in the forum’s menu. Some users express a desire for similar arrangements with brick-and-mortar stores, emphasizing the importance of supporting local businesses. Overall, the initiative aims to generate funding for Physics Forums while providing a convenient shopping option for members.

Does using the link affect the price at all? I'm hoping it's just the normal price, not 6% higher ;-) and the retailer is just providing commission for upping their volume.

Why not 3% for the staff and 3% for the forumers? :)

If I change my bookmark to read https://www.amazon.com/?tag=viglink20267-20&tag=pfamazon01-20Will it still work even if I use the bookmark instead of clicking the link here?

I ask because I use the lastpass app to accesses all my online shopping. If I can just add the tag to those links, I don't have to remember every time.

I guess there's no way to attribute past orders to you right? I will for sure not hesitate to use the links here to order my next books.

Yes and in fact, their commission is 8%!

https://www.aliexpress.com

I don't understand how the deal works.
Is it: from every our transaction PF receives a certain %?
How will Aliexpress know if we use PF? :smile:

Yes, if you click the link from PF. There is a little ID that gets attached to the link when you click on it that says "PF sent you".

I believe so :)

Great! I can get Amazon to give to two worthy causes at the same time.

Darn. Should remember this. I recently bought some stuff on Walmart.com and Target.com
I decided to make a Bit-ly shortcut, to remind me. http://bit.ly/PF2buy

Is that list of shopping links in post #1 pinned somewhere (semi)accessible? On the occassions I think of using it I can't remember where to find it!

(also, sorting the list alphabetically by site would make it a little easier to use)
