Quote:Having links to ebay ads is useful alongside reviews. Helps give an idea of cost of a particular lens. A lot of review sites have affiliate links to online shops that are not affected by add blockers, could you do something similar?
Well, we have affiliate links to Amazon and B&H (in the relevant countries). I reckon they are not very well presented at the moment (or blocked ...). As mentioned we'll move to a new portal soon. I have planned to put some work into this after the launch. I don't expect wonders though. At some stage we also tested smaller affiliate partners (outside of the US) but this didn't work out at all.
The well known rumors sites use this a lot (way, wayyy, WAYYY over the top) but they are "harvesting" the pre-order folks. This is a different segment of readers I suspect. These readers are just waiting for the first shop to offer a new product. I tried something around this some months ago but to do it right you really have to invest quite a bit of time which would then lack for doing reviews.
