Everyone knows the biggest gift-buying times of the year are all coming up. If you're not sick of the adverts yet, you will be. So, for our part, we've just released some new AmaCoN features that will make it easier for you to get your stuff, and for us to get our cash.

• All of the game index pages now have AmaCoN links associated with the game.
• All the AmaCoN stores for each country now have links to buy several different kinds of gift cards.
• AmaCoN search has been upgraded.

Finally, the most fun new feature, the ability to take Amazon links you already have and make them AmaCoN links! If you have a public wishlist at Amazon, or want a specific item from any of our Amazon countries, you can plug in your information and have a URL given right back to you, which you can put into an email or post on your own site or blog - anyone who shops for you can use that link and CoN gets the credit.

Easy, fast, and always free; that's AmaCoN. If you haven't been, go now and make these holidays happier for both you and Climhazzard alike.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

I keep an Amazon wishlist to make Christmas shopping easier on my family. Earlier today, I sent both my mother and my mother-in-law an email with a link to the AmaCoN page and instructions for how to use it. If someone's shopping on Amazon anyway, this isn't any harder, and it supports the CoN! So go do it, but with your mother and mother-in-law and whoever, not mine.

Veni, vidi, dormivi.

So, I can't go shopping with your mother?

I've heard mention of AmaCoN before but I never paid much attention to it and always forgot to investigate it when I wanted to purchase something. My baby sis is wanting a copy of Kirby's Air Ride. Looks like I'll be using AmaCoN to get it and hopefully most other online purchases.

out of curiousity, how does AmaCoN work? as in, the items aren't priced any higher, so does CoN recieve money from amazon for making the sale, or what?

Thanks to everyone buying so far - it looks to be AmaCoN's best month yet, including last holiday. Feel free to order four or five more things this coming week, as it will push us to the next echelon and get us a few more bucks for November.

Oh, and if you're bored, check out my wishlist. heh.

Is there any way to be certain that the redirector created from your URL tool actually kicked in?

No, Amazon does not allow users to see who is getting the referral. They had their reasons, as I recall. I can see what items are bought, but not who buys them unless they email me or something, which I don't really ask.

Note, though, that I have seen that it does work from a couple people who have tried it.
