- I put a link to that book at an online bookstore
I'm okay with that. I'd be more okay with it if that bookstore is, say, Powell's or Loompanics, than Amazon or B&N. :-)
- I put a link to that book at an online bookstore, but embed my personal associates ID in the link so if anyone follows the link and buys the book I get a referral fee (kickback).
Because you are having trouble making money with your perl skills? I might have trouble buying that line...
- I put a link to that book at an online bookstore, but embed an associates ID in the link that causes any referral fee to go to a non-profit orginization (maybe even one benefitting perl).
I don't know about this one. Seems to me that there wouldn't
be forced disclosure -- just the associates ID, and for
all I know a portion of every book I buy through Perl Monks
goes to support the Association For The Eradication Of All
Natural Life On Earth.
Maybe vroom should come up with a policy/guideline for this one. (It is his site -- maybe if someone's making money, it ought to be him, to pay for the site costs at the very minimum). I'd rather give a book kickback to vroom for keeping the site up then click thru banner ads for the same purpose.
