I often post links to things at Amazon, like this American Favorite Ballads box set that's coming out April 21. I'm wondering if there's a way to link instead to amazon.mudcat.org, so Mudcat gets credit. Does this work?

http://amazon.mudcat.org/American-Favorite-Ballads-Vol-1-5/dp/B001SGKQI6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1238094030&sr=8-1

Are we sure it works?

No, it doesn't work - so how can we do it?

Post the link in ordinary text, and then a clickie to fast-track them to both the US and UK Amazon sites via Mudcat's internal cat-flap, and tell them to copy-&-paste your link ?

Mind you, I just usually give everybody a little lecture...

Does the Cat get a cut every time we just USE the internal portals, or only if we buy something?

Hi, Bonnie-
We get money from Google (a very small amount) every time somebody clicks a link - but I think amazon.mudcat.org gives us money only when we buy stuff.
