    How much does Gateworld get from Amazon?

    What's the percentage that Gateworld gets for the Stargate Box sets sales from Amazon?

    Is there a place we can just donate to Gateworld instead of them just getting the percentage?

    You can probably just can send GW money if you want, but I don't think you'll get an answer on how much money the site makes off the affiliate program with Amazon. For one thing, it's a number that fluctuates.

        It depends on the items that people buy through your link...it's up to 10% of the cost of the item. The info is freely available on any of Amazon's websites...

            The percentage fluctuates based on how many total items ship in a given quarter (three months), from about 5 to somewhere up around 10 (we've never gotten close to the latter). We're looking at between 6-7 percent on average.

            We're considering other ways folks might contribute to the site down the road. That's something you will very likely hear about here on the forum before it goes into effect.

                  Yeah this site should have a "tip jar". Paypal or another method such as a credit card would be sweet. There could even be goodies for people who pay, like a 1 time fee for e.g., like exclusive avatars or banners.

                    This (and more) is precisely what paid membership / subscription would be, but I tend to get boos over whenever I bring it up.

                      To be honest, i have absolutely no problem paying 5 or 10 bucks a month to ensure gateworld always has it's spot on the internet.

                        I don't think a mandatory paid membership is necessary, but I do like the idea of a tip jar or just a support this site link. Even a little store that sells gateworld hats or t-shirts would be cool, I'd buy one.

                          I think a donation system is best I dont like the idea of having extra goodies etc. because I am able to pay whilst others may not be able to

                            There certainly wouldn't be anything mandatory about it. Everything that is free now would stay free -- no change for those who don't pay to subscribe. It would be something like a tips jar, which gives a few "thank you" special features to those folks.

                              i paid $15 a year to play on delphi and $25 for my live journal, so it's not all that horrible.
