Amazon

[johno69]

Better off spending time setting up a proper store than trying to built something around affiliate links with tiny commissions.

The set and forget is very appealing.

The set and forget is very appealing.

The flip side is very little money and a site that won't be able to compete long term. Eventually Google will catch up with these types of sites in my view.

Got 5 cheques from Amazon infront of me. Don't even bother depositing them...partly because im lazy partly because it costs $15 to deposit an international cheque and they are worth 100-200 each.

I recently cashed an international cheque and happily paid the fees because there was money ....... afterwards

Your doing well if you don't cash cheques ....... i think i saw you in that movie caddyshack, or was that Chevy Chase

They do appear to have a direct deposit option ....

Goodbye amazon ..........found a template and different affiliate program

I'm just starting out with Amazon. Interested to hear about this other affiliate program you're trying Spacey?

That looks much better. You do need to add a bit of padding to the right of the images in the posts though

its a cut and paste situation so unsure of how to change it

the online bookshop is smashword , i dont really like any of the big affiliates clickbank, amazon, commission junction, it seems there is never enough in each one that you can just stay with the single affiliate option

stuff everywhere and none of it paying (for me anyway)

with the Google Panda Update will affiliate sites be affected?

If you have a look at the css and apply it to images you may be able to get it working. If you don't get anywhere, I'll have a look later

 

[Data Glasses]

to be honest i am not quite sure what the issue is ?

happy to know though

cheers

 

[sp@rky13]

I'll have a look now

Try this:

.post-entry img{
 padding-right:10px;
}

The issue with this is that if the image is aligned to the right then you'd need it on the left as opposed to the right. I'd suggest because of this, having a 10px padding around the whole image:

.post-entry img{
 padding:10px;
}

which i would happily attempt to fix although i don't know where to start ,

thanks so far

if i am in the correct spot just bold over where i should adjust .......... thanks heaps

All you have to do (may not work but should) is copy the second lot of code I posted and add it to the bottom (or anywhere for that matter). Give that a try and see if it works
