I guess the business model here is affiliate marketing. I noticed that the URLs you use to redirect to Amazon.co.uk product pages don't include the "tag=your-associate-id" query string parameter. Are you still eligible for commission?

Yep it is affiliate marketing - we just launched to friends and family here in the UK to begin with but have just applied to SkimLinks so will turn any of our links into affiliate links.

  But you don't make any money right now, right? Because there is no "tag" parameters in the URL.

    Correct - we are waiting for Skimlinks to approve our application. We just wanted to test the idea first..

  VigLink does the same as SkimLinks (has been around longer too, and is backed by Google Ventures) and they don't make you wait if you're referred by another VigLink member. You can use my referral link (if you'd like) to at least get your monetiziation up and going ASAP. http://www.viglink.com/?vgref=6106 http://www.viglink.com/?vgref=6106

    That's really kind - thank you..

      In addition to that, don't Skimlinks take a cut of your comms? It really seems easier (and more profitable) to use the Amazon Affiliate Program. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though!
