When does WP begin its new life as an Amazon affiliate site?

When the anorexic flea becomes a normal eater again...

Could someone please take the time to explain to me what it means to be an Amazon affiliate, what it involves and what's in it for Ray?
 
I may be a cyberstalking Alzheimer's patient but inquiring minds want to know. You may have to explain it again to me tomorrow, since no doubt I'll forget.

If you join Amazon's affiliate program you can display a wide range of inventory on your site. You are provided a unique link that identifies your offerings. When a visitor clicks through and purchases from Amazon you receive a commission.

Lots of places offer affiliate income and lots of sites benefit from the clicks, like TT, other sites and blogs.  Sometimes the clicks and purchases help support the site. Sometimes, as in the case of the Yahoo and GeoCities circa 1999 - 2001, there's the potential to make a great deal of $$.

I'm gonna' go check eBay for fuzzy pink bunny slippers...

[Designers Bargains]

So does that mean that Ray will populate Wagglepop with links to Amazon and when someone buys fuzzy pink bunny slippers through Amazon via the WP link, WP gets a click-thru commission?
 
If so, isn't that contingent on someone actually going to WP in the first place, which nobody did and probably nobody will? Or do I have it all wrong?

[rho]

With Amazon, folks have to actually buy stuff to make a commission.  Ray stated somewhere along the line that the site made a whopping five bucks or something in commissions one month.

If some of his worshipers customers had not made an conscious effort to purchase through his affiliate links, he prolly woulda' made squat. 

So, no, DB, ya' don't have it all wrong.

Doesn't it make sense for everyone to combine and cooperate to GIVE EBAY A REASON TO LISTEN!?

No ~ because smart sellers will build their business on the site(s) that will enable them to be the most successful. I don't care whether eBay listens to me or not, I care about supporting the sites that will enable individual sellers to have the most success.

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that Rscipt is now under new management.  The forum is once again open and support will be much better.

Thank you,

Rscript Management

Rscript website redesign, price increase from $99 to $299

[xwpopper]

The new features... the bulklister ($500!!! ) store templates and auction templates look frighteningly like the old MoPlunder site, and these are templates only she had from SRay's freelance shopping. The private domain doesn't help my confidence any either. Whoever it is should take the false advertisement of "lower pricing" down since they really just raised the price for the same old POS script.

[rho]

Evidently the guy likes blue.

If you purchase from RScript this is the person ya' send the $$ to.

[rho]

and BTW, WagglePop's mail server is still alive on the RScript server...kinda' wish I hadn't seen that, now I'm gonna' have nightmares about the creature rising from the oozing stench to stalk needy, misguided sellers through eternity....

[Designers Bargains]

Not to mention that Ray still has a rather extensive data base of names and email addresses he pocketed from the thousands of X-popper registrants over the years -- info he can pawn to spammers and scammers as long as the sun shines. No doubt he needs the money considering that out of nearly 2600 listings he had on eBay this last week, he only grossed $64.35.

Based on a long string of examples of small software developers tiring of developing their scripts and selling the licensing rights of their essentially dead product, the odds of any further development of the script now that it's been sold are slim to nil.  The new owner most likely purchased the rights to the script hoping for a high margin no-effort income stream from license sales.

Ray...he only grossed $64.35.

Gross and net are irrelevant and illogical considerations.  The number of 99 cent 1-bid "sells" is all that matters.

The new owner is phase 2 in the product lifecycle of a dead outdated script.

This will be the 3rd and final phase for the RScript auction script

Third and final phase now reduced to $2.99 with a BEST OFFER option.

Mandy and all the other jealous type naysayers were wrong. The WaggleScript lives! RScript v3 announcement:

Hello everyone,

Just wanted to let you know that we’re diligently working on many new features of Rscript Auction Software and have fixed many small issues found in the code and plan on releasing the Version 3 before the end of the year.
