Do you like giving Mark Zuckerberg more of Analogue Wonderland's money?

Sorry I don't understand your comment ?
 
The link you have posted looks like it is copied from Facebook and has Facebook affiliate parameters in the url so when anyone clicks it analogue wonderland will think the traffic came from Facebook rather than talk photography and so they will be encouraged to pay for more Facebook advertising

It would have been so much more helpful if you had posted this first time around, Chris.

It would be helpful if we got some advertising revenue from Analogue Wonderland instead of doing for free and giving Facebook the credit
 
Delete the post then

Chris, maybe now would be a good opportiunity to point out to members exactly how they can help attract revenue to the forum, surely it's in everyone's best interest?

I meant how can we help by directing people to sites that are mutually beneficial? you seem to be quite adamant that linking through Facespace wasnt particularly helpful so apart from buying you a coffee what else can we do to help the forum?
 
Clicking through this site to our advertisers would be one thing that people could do, especially if they then buy something, e.g. rather than going straight to MPB, come here and click the MPB advert.

Anyway this is all getting a bit away from my original beef, which wasn't that we don't get a cut, we don't get a cut of a lot of things advertised on here, it was that the link posted benefits Mark Zuckerberg and his very dodgy facebook ethics. Also Analogue Wonderland is hardly a revelation to the film/analogue community on here or elsewhere.
 
Fair enough, but there was nothing that I could see in the original post that indicated Facebook. Yes, if you don't click the link but copy it and then paste it into Wordpad to see all the details then it shows up. The original link even had the Analogue Wonderland site listed.

I've taken away from this that links to bargains etc. posted here could be dodgy in ways I'd never considered, and may be best avoided in favour of using a search engine to find a site address. Or possibly not, if finding suppliers this way benefits the search engine owners...
 
Links posted here are not likely to be "dodgy", in fact we spend quite a lot of time and effort policing that. The vast majority of links posted here will be direct links to a companies website and even a specific product* and as such involve no intermediation.


*we use a service called skimlinks which gives us a small cut of the purchase price in the event that someone follows a link from this site and purchases a product if the retailer is registered with Skilinks
 
eg Wex, Manfrotto, Halfords (?), as well as MPB, Trade Canvas Print, Eversure who advertise here.
 
I'll accept "dodgy" was an inappropriate word to use. My meaning was that following an innocuous looking link on this site could in fact be harming the financial health of TP (which is how I took your original objection) and therefore, in principal, it was better to avoid clicking on all links as there was no obvious way of distinguishing acceptable from unacceptable ones.

Not knowing whose links benefitted TP, and I now know some but presumably not all, just makes it harder to tell if I should or shouldn't follow a link. The simplest solution for me is to avoid all, and use a search engine for anything that looks interesting.
