Find Everything at Martytown!

Martytown primarily features areas of interest to me, and is not really intended to be a "commercial" site. But a lot of what I like (books, music, videos, etc.) lends itself to sales over the internet.

As everyone knows by now, amazon.com is a huge force when it comes to internet shopping. As chance would have it, they offer websites like martytown the ability to link up with them and maybe make a few bucks in the process. It's called the Amazon.com Associates Program. Here's how it works:

• I create custom scripts within my web pages (that amazon provides) that link my pages and images to either individual item pages at amazon, or general interest areas.
• Those links provide amazon with information that the customer came from my website.
• If there is a purchase as a result of my website "driving traffic" to amazon, I get essentially a referral fee of around 5%.

Rather than promoting shopping all over my site, I'm providing links from various sections to the related shopping sections here at my shop page. (There are some exceptions, such as music, where I have links directly from a CD to the corresponding amazon page for that CD.) This shop section will feature various items related to the relevant sections in martytown. I'm also placing a few amazon.com links in strategic places throughout the site.

So if you like to purchase stuff on the internet, or with amazon.com, give it a try through the links here at martytown. We appreciate it.
