I thought it was by hijacking all your non-affiliated affiliate links?

  So this means finding all the places I have a link to an amazon.com book and rewriting the URL with posterous's affiliate id? can anyone confirm/deny this? I've thought of using something like that for other ideas and wonder if it works, and if so at what volume you need etc.

    I found this blog post about stack overflow's experience with advertising very interesting. http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/11/our-amazon-advertising-experiment/ http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/11/our-amazon-advertising... "So, onward to plan B: we now auto-insert Stack Overflow affiliate info into any amazon book links posted on Stack Overflow. Oh yeah, and here’s the kicker. These silly little rewritten text links work 200%-300% better than our custom amazon book ads!"
