Amazon link
...I honestly can't find it and I get paid tomorrow and am doing a massive shop!.
Can you point me in the right direction.
It is probably somewhere really obvious and you'll all say "doh" and make me stand in the corner in my knickers and a dunce hat.
(don't know why I added the knickers bit in...feeling a little odd today to be candid)

The amazon link isn't quite what I'd like, to be honest. A graphical one would be better, I think.
If I was to stick a banner on the site, would people remember to use it?
When you get through to the shop, you can use the amazon banner at the bottom of the front page to go through to amazon proper if you like.
Either way, you can buy stuff and give us a bit of money in commission whilst you do so. It'd be really nice.
On a related topic, what sort of banners or links would you click on? Or in other words, what sort of stuff would you like to see advertised on ABCtales, given that ABCtales will have to advertise stuff sooner or later if it wants to cover the costs of running the site?
Cheers,

What was on your last Book-shop list?

Oh and Mark, I spent the first 5 years of my career in online advertising. Most smallish sites like ABC who do not employ a sales team/person, generally find that the easiest option for selling banner space is to flog it to advertising networks who will put their tags on the site and you don't have a huge amount of control over the ads.
Better would be if you can sell on a sponsorship basis to say 10 companies who will have "share of voice" on the site traffic as opposed to buying on an impression basis.
Categories I'd see as being appropriate
EDUCATION
---MAs in Creative Writing
Short Courses in Creative writing etc.
BOOKS /MAGS
Problem here is that small press don't have a lot of money to spend on advertising
LIFESTYLE
Being a bit of a leftie site, people selling "Fairtrade" products
CHARITIES
Oxfam, Samaritans etc have reasonable advertising budgets
