>When I went to ChefTalk to see about placing an order with Amazon I clicked on the buy amazon icon is that good for any book I order or just the cookbook on the screen of cheftalk? I just need to know how that works.<
I figured the answe fit better here on the cookbooks forum.
When you go to ChefTalk - Cooking Forums, Cook Book Review, Cooking Articles and Recipes by the chefs the first thing is to click on the forums button. Near the top of that page is a direct link to Amazon.
When you click on that you are transferred, via a magical software program, to Amazon's site. Whatever happens to appear then is happenstance, just something Amazon is particularly touting. When I use the link, for some reason I'm always sent to Amazon's cookware section. Go figure.
Once you are there you navigate the Amazon site as normal. The software keeps track of where you came from, and credits Cheftalk with anything you buy.
That's anything, by the way. Books, music stuff, cookware and other hard goods. If you link through Cheftalk and buy something we get credit for it.
Now, why is that important? To you, it may not be. But to me, it's very important as it makes up part of my paycheck. Cheftalk is part of Amazon's affiliate program. For every sale made through our referrel (the link) Cheftalk recieves a small commission. And I get a percentage of that percentage.
Besides which, while you're there you can explore the Cheftalk site (ChefTalk - Cooking Forums, Cook Book Review, Cooking Articles and Recipes by the chefs). Maybe find something interesting among the book reviews, or educational in the articles, or a discussion in the forums that makes you want to join in.
All in all, good deal for everyone.
