FundAlarm in association with Amazon.com

[Home]

Support FundAlarm with your Amazon purchases

Simply follow this link to Amazon.com next time you purchase a book, CD, electronic gear, or anything else Amazon sells online:

FundAlarm's link to Amazon.com
(To use this link in the future, please consider
turning it into a bookmark on your browser.)

This link will take you directly to the Amazon.com home page, and everything about your visit to Amazon will be exactly the same as always, including Amazon's prices. How does FundAlarm benefit? Amazon will give us approximately 5% of your purchase if you enter their site using the link above (the percentage varies, and is usually a little more than 5%, depending on the amount our readers purchase each quarter). We receive this fee on all purchases you make at Amazon. If you use any other method to access Amazon.com, we don't benefit.

Please note that your name and specific transactions with Amazon are never disclosed to us -- all we get is an anonymous activity report. Unfortunately, that also means we can't thank you personally. But please be assured that you have our thanks anyway. You can read more about this program below.

Why did FundAlarm decide to associate with Amazon.com?

Personally, I make all of my online book purchases at Amazon.com, and I've been very pleased with their prices and service.

Are my transactions really confidential?

Absolutely. FundAlarm receives a quarterly check, and an anonymous record of activity in our Amazon account. That's all. Here's a sample of the report we receive from Amazon:

Quarter-to-date Items Ordered: 219 Quarter-to-date Qualified Item Revenue: 3127.68 Quarter-to-date Referral Fees: 156.38 Click-throughs and sales by individual item For the week of 06-Sep-2004 through 12-Sep-2004 Store ID your-associate-id

Why must I use a special link to access Amazon?

FundAlarm's link to Amazon has the FundAlarm identifier embedded in it.

[For propeller heads, here's the actual code:
"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/fundalarm"]
When you use this link to access Amazon.com, the Amazon computers know where you came from, and they can give us credit when you place your order. Otherwise, we get nothing, no matter how well-intentioned you might be.
