How Slimy is this Site?
My intellectual superiors in the ivory tower consider all forms of commerce slime. The technorati have made it clear they see this site (which combines community links and affiliate links) an affront. Personally, I consider the few sites that have a sound business plan to be the most important in the community. If no-one makes profit, then society diminishes.
This report shows the percentage of affiliate links to regular links. At the end of each quarter I sum up the reported take from the affiliate links on aFountainOfBargains.com.
