Ok guys I said along time ago I would let you know where we stand on certain things. Here is our income from our Amazon.com link. As you can see we don't make much.
So if any of you want to get some books on knive collecting, or whatever, please use the links found in our books and video section. Each time you do it codes a link so we get credit here at BladeForums to pay the $500 minimum we now pay a month to host this site.

All help is greatly appreciated. Also buy some T-Shirts even if they don't fit!
As a bonus I have extended the sale for this entire month on the Kershaw knives at the BF Store!
<a href="http://www.bladeforums.com/store/knives/kershaw.html ">Click Here for Kershaw Talons at only $39.95!</a>
So there you have it so now go buy some books and let's see what the next report looks like!

HOW TO READ THIS ACTIVITY REPORT
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ITEMS HIT AND ORDERED
---------------------
The column labeled "HITS" represents the number of times one of your
visitors clicked on your link to this item. This column can help you
gauge your visitors' interest in the items you are recommending.
NOTE: Zero hits is a perfectly normal result! It usually means that
the item was ordered by somebody who followed your link to our home
page, used your Amazon.com search box or followed your link directly
to another recommended item and then ordered this item as they browsed
through our site. In a few cases, it might mean that the customer
added the item to their shopping basket during a visit from you during
a prior week and only just finalized their order.
The two columns beneath the heading "ORDERED" are labeled "DIR." and
"NDIR" - these columns show you the number of copies ordered for each
listed item during the week. Note that the item's title appears on a
separate line above the hits and order quantities.
The "DIR." column refers to directly linked items - the individual
products you recommended to your visitors. If a visitor follows your
link to one of these items and then places the item in their shopping
basket on the resulting web page, the quantity they order will appear
in this column. Items in this column earn either 5% or 15% referral
fees, depending on their selling price and whether they are books or
other, non-book products.
The "NDIR" column refers to all other items that your visitors added
to their shopping baskets during their visit. This includes any item
ordered during a visit that begins when somebody follows your link to
our home page or uses the Amazon.com search box on your site. If you
provide only these kinds of links then all resulting orders would show
up in this column. Items in this column earn 5% of their selling
price.
The column labeled "REFERRAL FEE" represents the referral fees your site
has earned on orders. Please remember that we pay you based on orders
*shipped*, so your actual Referral Fee may be somewhat lower than the
fee stated here.
Only after these orders are paid for and shipped will they actually
count toward your referral fee. Some of these orders may later be
cancelled, customers' credit cards may be declined and occasional
returns should be expected; in any of these cases, the referral fee
will not be earned.
VISITOR COUNTS
--------------
A "Visitor" is a person who clicks on links from your site, and is
counted as 1 visitor (above) regardless of the number of different
titles they click on. We keep track of this by watching their
shopping basket ID, which remains the same for every click they make
during their visit. There are 3 columns in the visitor count section:
The "ISBN/ASIN" column shows you the number of unique visitors who
followed one or more of your links to specific items during the week.
The "amz home" column shows you the number who followed your link to
the Amazon.com home page during the week. Lastly, the "search" column
contains visitors who used your Amazon.com search box.
IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING VISITORS:
1) Visitors are unique within each column, but the same visitor will
be represented in EACH column that applies. As an example, if only
one visitor used your links during the week but used both your search
box and a link to a specific item, the report would show 1 visitor in
each of those columns.
2) A "Hit" is any person clicking on a special link, and each click is
counted as 1 hit. If the same visitor clicks on 5 different titles,
we record 1 visitor in the "ISBN/ASIN" column and 5 hits. Therefore,
you should expect the number of visitors to be lower than the total
number of hits in most cases.
Thanks again for your participation in the Amazon.com Associates
program. Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Tom Schonhoff
