The daily operation and maintenance of Bitten by Books requires us to pay significant fees for hosting and for shipping books to reviewers. If you’d like to help support Bitten by Books, there are a few ways you can help:
1. The Amazon.com links on our site are affiliate links, which means we receive a small percentage of Amazon sales generated by folks who click through to Amazon and make a purchase. Even if you purchase something other than (or in addition to) the linked item, we receive affiliate dollars to help pay our expenses. And of course, buying books helps your favorite authors and publishers as well!
2. Like the Amazon.com links mentioned above, you can also search for books on Amazon using the widget at the bottom of this page, and we’ll receive a small percentage of anything you buy. There is no additional cost to you, of course. Or you can click this link: http://www.amazon.com/?&tag=bittenbybooks-20 and it will do the same thing. Remember you have to to use the link/widget each time you buy for it to help us out.
3. We receive some income by selling ads to authors and publishers. These are the ads that appear in the right sidebar. We only book ads that we think are relevant and interesting to our readers, and our ad sponsors book their ads in hope of gaining exposure for their books. The incentive for authors and publishers are the click-throughs and sales generated by these ads. So clicking on ads that interest you helps your favorite authors and publishers, while also helping us show the value of advertising on our site to potential and returning sponsors. Some of the ads also link to Amazon, providing us with affiliate revenue, as explained above.
4. We have a small CafePress store featuring products related to Bitten by Books. Click the link to visit the Bloody Cafe store!
