Why? I actually make a point of going to an affiliate link before buying anything from the big river. Just doing my part to reduce their profits as much as possible. (My current go-to is kottke.org although I wouldn't object if people wanted to go to http://don.dream-in-color.net/books/ http://don.dream-in-color.net/books/ instead)
- OJFord 7y agoThe /ref= isn't from afiliate/referral links, it's just tracking.
- dhosek 7y agoI don't think that's actually what's happening with that. ref=nosim is an old thing (no longer necessary) for going to the product page directly. I can't see any tracking that they can do with a URL component that they wouldn't have anyway (e.g., knowing the referrer, IP etc.)
