When I have money I spend it on books and CDs, so I was wondering if I buy ALL my books from Amazon will PB benefit, or just certain ones from a list? Do I have to register somewhere to make sure PB gets its percentage or is it automatic?
Also I noticed some of the books I recommend have a point and click site directly to Amazon, but someof the books I talk about don't. I figure that means Amazon doesn't stock them, but was wondering if I entered the book title w/ a typo, would that keep it from showing up? B/c I don't really know how to write subheadings, if you paranthize them or what, also if it makes any difference whether you write the title or author first in your recmndtn. Everything is so structured nowadays I don't know the difference between having an intelligent question and too much time on my hands. But there you go.

hiya trouble-
If you search using the green Amazon box at the top of the PB site(s), Dr Bob will get referral for it. Some links you suggest don't have the referral because they haven't been 'researched' on Amazon for the correct URL. I hope you understand what I mean, I don't convey my thought correctly sometimes.
Hope that helps-Kiddo

Kiddo's right, the key is to be "referred" from this site. Then it's automatic. You don't have to register. (With iGive, however, you do.)

It could be that, or as Kiddo said, it might be that I just haven't gotten to it yet, or I may have missed it.
> if I entered the book title w/ a typo, would that keep it from showing up?
No. As long as I can tell what it was supposed to be.
Thanks for thinking of PB! :-)

I now buy all my books via Dr Bobs link...
What I ahve to do though, is go back to the search box each time else it doesn't have the Dr Bob bit in the url so I presume he own't get any proceeds...
Hope we're making you some money :o)

I don't know for sure that that's absolutely necessary, but I appreciate the extra trouble you're taking.

I'll let you know the total the next time I get a statement. :-)
