    I have a few questions about ordering from Amazon through the SP links. If I click on this link, everthing I put in my cart and order once I am on the Amazon site will give SP a commission, or do I have to click this link each time I order a book? The info under the link was a bit confusing.
    Also, what if I buy used books on Amazon? Do you still get the commission?
    What about cds, movies, etc, ordered through this link?

    No, just the product. So if you click on NWN and add it to your cart and then go buy a book, SP only gets the money from NWN.

    EDIT: Oh! Ok just ignore me, i'm an idiot. :)

    This is correct... However, I usually get a higher commission on direct links (if it's available), i.e., if you click on the direct link for a certain product on SP and add it directly to the cart. However, I still get a smaller commission on other items, even if you only go from one Amazon link on SP, and do the rest of the searching on Amazon yourself. The most important idea is to start with a link to Amazon going from SP. Everything from there on will be tracked.

    I get only a 2% commission on used books, but it's still better than nothing.

    You can order any other items through SP as well... As long as you go via any Amazon link on SP, it will be tracked and I'll get a commission for it.
