I'm interested to hear all your input and feedback on the idea of me registering an amazon associates affiliate program for this site. I'd like to keep basic advertising off the forum but I thought that this might be a non-intrusive opt-in method to provide a small amount of support in the operating costs by way of using an online retailer that many of us already shop from anyway. This would happen only if and when members may choose to buy products through amazon that they would use a storageforum.net affiliate link to support the site. This would of course create a session which tracks what you buy based on links here so amazon would have some additional information about your web habits.
I haven't created an account or done anything to integrate advertising but was thinking that I've done this before to help support other websites I visit and it really didn't cost me anything when I was going to buy things from Amazon anyway. If you all think this is an acceptable idea I'd like to give it a try. Any compensation is intended to support the operational costs of this site. The site and operational costs are currently healthy but I wanted to explore this as a very minimalistic way to help support it. Let me know what you think...
