If I click on the Amazon ad, you guys get some type of benefit from that I know. Do I have to buy one of the selected things from the site or can I just click from OSA to Amazon and buy anything and you'll get credit? What about the ads at the top? Just checking since I need to order from Amazon anyway, thought I would help out if I could.

Can't be that dumb a question since I don't even know all the answer... then again, it could be those pesky hormones. (Yes, I'll be blaming my pregnancy for my shortcomings for some time to come. Very Happy - Rhaps, pay attention. Hehehe)

The simple fact that you access Amazon from OSA is sufficient for us to get the credit, no matter what you buy once you're in there.

The ads at the top, I don't have. So I'm not sure what you're referring to. I'll let Rob answer that one when he gets back... but usually, clicking on ads should give something to the site hosting them.

Hope this helps a little bit. And thanks for thinking of OSA during your shopping spree.

do.

There are two types of ads at the top:

We have Google ads; the terms and conditions of how we make money from Google ads is something we can't discuss as it breaches the terms and conditions. But you can find out more at www.google.com/adsense

Those from www.eryn-carantaur.com you don't need to click on for us to raise revenue - they are paid for by a member donating to the site and is much appreciated.

If anyone else would like to park an advert in that space, we'll gladly support you. All we ask is that either a) you've already donated or b) you cover the revenue from the Google adverts that it replaces.
