Will you post an affiliate link?
If you recommend a good book to me, I'd like you to get a kickback.
How do others feel about affiliate links? I've created an Ask HN on the topic: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1227196 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1227196
- lionhearted 17y agoInteresting thought. I just posted "Suggest to HN: A Hacker News Amazon Affiliate Link" - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1227254 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1227254 Basically, I don't recommend enough books to bother with an affiliate link, but if someone on the HN/YCombinator team would register a link, I'd voluntarily add it to my recommendations. It is a bit wasteful to leave the potential affiliate commission on the table when it could go to something valuable. People can discuss in that thread. And Paul, if you're reading this, what's your take? I figure a bit of extra resources in the way of free books couldn't hurt, and it might add up. I reckon a lot of the community would be happy to give back that way.
- allantyoung 17y agoI don't mind this suggestion at all. If the recommendation is germane to the topic and helps increase my choices and understanding, better to let someone make some money of Amazon. On another note. Could the author of the parent (froo) put together a shared Google Doc of all recommended books that didn't get negative total points?
