The holidays are coming: order from Amazon through neo-neocon!
[BUMPED UP]
Yes, it’s that time. Again.
It’s almost Thanksgiving. And that means that Christmas, Chanukah, and whatever other holiday might suit your diverse fancies are all coming up sooner than you think.
So I’m encouraging you to feel their hot panting breaths on your neck, and to solve all your gift-giving dilemmas by turning to that online colossus, Amazon.
And if you use those widgets on my right sidebar to click through for all your Amazon purchases (now and at any other time of year) you will also be giving a small but still not insignificant gift to neo-neocon (it adds up, folks), and all without spending any extra money yourself. What could be more wonderful?
I thank you all in advance.
[NOTE: In case you have ad blocker or something of that sort, and the Amazon widgets don’t show up on your computer, go here. You can also click on any Amazon book link within a post and anything you order during that click-through gets credited to me. I believe it’s true even for things you put in your cart but don’t order till a bit later, although there’s a time limit on how long they can be there and still get credited when ordered (I’m not sure what that limit is, though, so best to order sooner rather than later).]
Just ordered three new books. More to come for Christmas giving. 🙂
I will donate through paypal early December….. promise in all the transparency typical of a peasant from flyover country.

Bought a significant anniversary present through your portal a few weeks ago!
Rigel Dog:
Happy anniversary, and thanks!!
J.J. and parker:
Thanks!!
Idle thought: Is there any way to set up your (Neo’s) Amazon portal so that once someone has accessed Amazon though it, it will thereafter operate by default to commission Neo for that person’s future purchases? Or for your readers to set up their Amazon account to achieve that result? I, for one, would be happy to set my Amazon access that way, as long as it costs me nothing, is reversible at will and doesn’t deprive me of any of my Amazon Prime benefits My problem is that usually when I decide to buy something on Amazon I access it directly and simply forget to go to Neo neocon first. I expect other readers may be doing the same.

I wish I knew the answer to that question. I don’t.
But if you ever figure it out, please let me know! I realize it can be hard to remember to use the blog when ordering from Amazon, even if that’s the intent. But thanks for thinking of it sometimes, anyway.
If there’s a hard link that exists that points to a referral, rather than clicking from here, I would edit my amazon links to just that.
I’m too low tech to know how to do it, but I bet it’s doable.
Anyone under 40 here?

Actually, it would be cool for Amazon to take care of this, e.g.
“Hi XXXX! In the past, you’ve contributed a portion of Amazon.com proceeds to the following other sites:
neoneocon.com
instapundit.com
pizzaIDF.org
Please click one of those links to shop at Amazon through them… or click ‘continue’ to shop directly. Thanks!”
I’ll be doing this next paycheck! Wonderful way to contribute to you and your work and to obtain more of my favorite conservative/classic liberal reads!
I think if I write it here, I am more likely to follow up since I get busy. So, here goes!
If the items are already in my cart or on my wish list but are actually purchased via the Neo link does that count? I just order a few audio books for my brother who will be unable to read for a while because of eye surgery. I had searched Amazon about a day ago and put them in my cart. I hope Neo gets credit. I have more gifts on my lists to order, but I haven’t finished shopping yet. Any advice on how I should manage this?
expat:
I think I remember that if you put the items in your cart within 30 days of ordering them through this site, I get credit for it.
I think.
Good, then you will get credit for some additional items I’ve been puttting in my cart fot the last week or so. I usually do my shopping for friends and family in the US through Amazon, but it takes me a while to get my lists together.
I just placed 3 more orders. I hope it works for you.
I am placing all my online orders through your Amazon portal because it is so damn easy. I am kind of old and i don’t like to go to malls at all so thanks for your Amazon thingy. A few clicks and I’m done and I have been careful to let my wife think there is a lot more to it so she recognizes my hard work and diligence. (Part of being a successful husband is getting stuff done.)
