Yowza! Some of you may have noticed that I recently started posting some advertisements on Jim Arnold’s Blog – for books, for fitness programs, for sexy underwear… and sunglasses.
Well, today I got the third cancellation in my nascent affiliate plan, this one from Undergear. The other two were from Amazon and Bodybuilding.com. It’s all because of a recent law passed in California that requires state tax to be added to purchases from California-based websites selling these merchants’ stuff.
So, I have to laugh. The blog has basically been a labor of love for a couple of years and I only recently had the idea of making a few dollars here and there on it (disclosure: so far I’ve made 50 cents in affiliate ad revenue, but I don’t get a payment till it reaches a threshold, which I think is $10 – not exactly enough to buy that yacht).
I’ve added a bunch of affiliate programs to my “mix” in the last week or so (did you see the ad for Nerdy Shirts???) and so will continue to post those ads until those companies, as well, drop me like a rock.
I’ll miss Undergear and hope they will be back. It sure was fun posting pictures of cute guys in their skivvies onto my blog and possibly making money on it – right. UPDATE 2015: Obviously Amazon ads are back. As there’s one right below this.

Do affiliates pay if people click on the ad or only if they actually make a purchase?
Amazon’s tactics are pretty interesting. I like not paying sales tax, but I suppose the state could use the money. Hmmmm.
No, they only pay if you actually buy something. I heard Amazon wants to put the issue on a referendum. Should be interesting….
