[...] OK, the Canadian content regulation is a lie – bloggers do lie every now and then. [...]

Update about the shirts: Google Checkout is stuuuupid. So, email me at sushiday [at] gmail [dot] com if you want a shirt, and I can give you a U.S. address to use as your “shipping address” for Google Checkout, and then you can email me the address you actually want me to ship to.

Sorry I’m late Naomi,

But I had to comment since I so agree with you. Unfortunately we are all just humans and we all fuck up one way or another. One thing however I would never do is to say I’ve done something when i haven’t. This just screams bad karma and would have to come round eventually. Why would one be so stupid?

On the other hand, people get carried away by energy and excitement. They say they will going to do something with the best of their intentions. I know I have. And then totally forget about it.

But lies. Nobody should ever lie as you will be found out!

I see. Well, now that I’m here, I suppose I’ll know when it happens! I won’t be buying textbooks then though, that will be over with by then.

Thanks! Uh, I do ship to Canada, but right now I can’t get Google Checkout to accept orders from Canada… so email me if you want a shirt and we’ll work something out!

Hi Allison, thanks for the question.

The promo is not still going on, but only because the administration would be a nightmare. I’ll probably do this again next year, although I’ll follow more of my own rules. :-)

Ditto to what Sonia said, and yes, it does apply to other sellers. If you can buy it through the Amazon.com shopping cart (including downloads and gift certificates), it counts towards affiliate income.

Awesome shirts, by the way. Do you ship to Canada?

The way Amazon Affiliates works in general, if you come in through the affiliate link, anything you buy within X amount of time is credited to that link’s account. If you click on someone else’s affiliate link in the mean time, though, it wipes out the previous link.

Not sure about the other sellers.

Question: Is this still going on? (I mean the Amazon thing for your charity, not the bloggers being liars) And, if it is can you post a link to it? Oh and another question… can one buy ANYTHING from Amazon as long as we start through your link, and have the money go to your charity?

I swear I didn’t know about IttyBiz at that time, or I would have bought my coursebooks through you since I generally have to buy them anyways. I’m starting a new quarter in a couple of weeks, and if I need books I have no problem ordering them through your Amazon link! (I don’t know if I need the books yet though, so don’t hate me if I don’t!)

Oh another question… does this only work for products that are being sold directly by Amazon? Like, if I were to buy a used book or a product from another seller but through Amazon, would you still get any profits from it?

I agree with the point of your post though. Bloggers, and those who read blogs, lie. 70+ people said they would buy my Sushi Day shirts. Only 7 people have bought them, 4 of which were family and close friends who I know for a fact didn’t participate in the poll!
