Students, don't forget this opportunity to help support PF :)
Click For Summary
Physics Forums has established an affiliate account with Amazon.com, allowing members to contribute 5-7% of their purchases back to the forum. Users are encouraged to buy textbooks and other materials through a specific link to ensure the forum receives credit for the sale. The affiliate program applies to all items purchased on Amazon, not just textbooks, and can be accessed by clicking the provided link. There are discussions about whether the affiliate benefits extend to non-US Amazon sites, with clarification that only purchases made through the US site will contribute to Physics Forums. Members express a mix of excitement and regret about missing the opportunity for recent purchases. The conversation also touches on the mechanics of how the affiliate tracking works, with some technical insights shared. Overall, the thread serves as a reminder for students to utilize the affiliate link for upcoming textbook purchases and other shopping needs.

Greg:
A couple of years ago Cristo asked if the link would still work if redirected to Amazon.co.uk, and you said that it should. I see there is a link from Amazon.co.uk now. I am in Canada. If I click on the Amazon.com link and redirect to Amazon.ca, is PF going to get the 6%? If so, great! If not, I will just get my textbooks from Chapters.

Stupid question: Does this also work for orders via Amazon in Germany? Then, of course, I'll order via the physicsforums link :-).

I didn't know about this. Perhaps you should consider putting this in the "notices" box at strategic* times?

Would it be okay to buy a nonfiction book about something factual (like computer science) but have the intent of studying it as a subject not offered by school and mention Physics Forums?
