...then click on our new affiliate banner on the homepage!

I did a little survey earlier in the year to find out which retailer people like to use the most, and it seems that Amazon was used by nearly everyone - so we've decided to use that as our affiliate of choice.

Right now, the banner only goes to Amazon.com, but in a few weeks it will default to your country of origin, hopefully. I'll also be adding more specific ones to the individual console sections.

Basically, how it works is that if anyone clicks on the banner, and then goes on to buy something, we then get a small cut of the revenue that Amazon made from your purchase. You don't have to pay anything more, it just means that Amazon make less. It might not sound like much, but it'll help us with the running of the site - every little counts!

We've just put up a suggested product for you to buy, but if you're planning to buy anything from Amazon, please think about clicking on the banner first. Don't worry, we don't know whose bought what.

If you have any questions, feel free to post below.

I will definitely be using this when a .co.uk is added. I use amazon all the time and why not help out GU at the same time? Tongue

Does it work when you buy anything from there, or just what is being advertised on the banner?

As long as you click the banner first, anything that's bought will count. Smile

It will likely be implemented in the UK towards the start of March. Smile

Just to let you guys know, that this is now working for the UK and Canada. So if you're planning on buying something (anything) from Amazon.co.uk, .ca, or .com just click the banner on the homepage (below news, above the features, previews, reviews) and we'll get a cut of anything that you guys purchase.
