GNOME Amazon Referral Fees July 2010

gnome-amazon In July 2010 the GNOME Foundation received the following Amazon referral fees

Amazon.com
$55.90
Amazon.ca $1.16
Amazon.de €60.96
Amazon.fr €16.30
Amazon.co.uk £31.73
Amazon.jp ¥1,936

This totals to approximately $231 (up from $186 in June). Compared to other months we see that finally some GNOMEys in France are buying stuff at Amazon. Let’s see if this month we finally get some significant referral fees from the Canadian store

    Perhaps instructions for Chrome/Chromium could be added. Also is there a way to make Amazon automatically remember to add the referral link, I often go directly to the co.uk store and forget to add it. That means cancelling the order and going back through the GNOME page and reordering.

    Out of personal curiousity I would also love to hear how much of the referrals are from Banshee’s Amazon support which I understand is now adding to this pot.

      Hi David,

      I’ll add chrome/chromium instructions for next month. I’ve always looked at the totals of the different referral tags that GNOME has with amazon, but I checked the banshee one. Did you just introduce it? Up till 31st of July I only see $1.50. Now for just 2 days in August it’s already $15. So that looks promising.

    The Banshee work is only in the development version and it didn’t start using the referral tag till after GUADEC. So I doubt the numbers will be interesting till next month, or even till 1.8 is released (on schedule with the next GNOME stable release).
