I'm sure many of us purchase from Amazon.com. Couldn't we do this?

http://www.seclimbers.org/modules.php?name=bookstore

Now you can support climbing just by reading a book!

When you click on a book below and buy it from Amazon.com, Amazon will donate 15% of the price to the SCC. In addition, if you use the search engine at the bottom of the page or any of the links here to get to Amazon before buying any book, CD or Video, the SCC will still get 5% of anything you buy once you get there. Either way, your price remains the same. All proceeds go to help the SCC stay up and running!

Credit card transactions are secure and handled by Amazon.com. Thanks for the help!

good find and it's an idea that i've thought would be awesome. i've just been trying to figure out how it benefits the business.. what's their side of it, why should they do it? apparently, there's a decent enough reason if amazon is joining in. something definitely worth looking into and maybe getting a hold of whoever helped spearhead this in the scc.

i know rro had something going on with mgear.com for a while that gave 5% of purchases to the coalition. is that still open? if so, what's the code/deal that we have to use to make sure the 5% gets donated?

also, as a recommendation, stone crusade is excellent..

I think this is what you're talking about. A lot of sites do it and apparently you have decent control as to how much it clutters up the site and to what is advertised.
