Response to Does Barnes and Noble really pay webmasters?

from David Doherty (webmaster@poem.org)
Christa,

1.) I did use the tag generator. Maybe it worked improperly, I will redo it.

2.) Does a customer have to buy from a direct link? what I mean is; if they browse thru your site after clicking thru my banner do I get credit for the sale. This is the Main problem I, and many other webmasters have noticed, with amazon.com for example. you have over 30 different things to link to and searches after linking thru my banner if I only get credit from direct linking there is NO incentive for me. (reference http://greenspun.com on amazon.com ) I raise this point because you suggest direct linking of certain books. My website is hard enough to keep up with besides doing your advertising for you and using more of my webspace for your product without prior compensation. I also realize that if I am feeling disheartened others are too. Especially those personal sites that have few hits. You would be surprised how many people ask me if I've made a dime from your site yet. These same people laughed and said I would never make one red cent, but I am not going to give up just yet.

I will continue to use your banner on my site I will try to fix the tag generated link problem that you say might be at fault and I will continue to post all correspondence to my Lusenet poetry forum for other webmasters to read.

Sincerely, David Doherty webmaster@poem.org
