p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Question regarding credit to FM for B&H purchases.


Is using the Search B&H button on this site the only way to ensure credit to FM for internet purchases at B&H? Can credit be given retroactively? I may be patronizing them soon and would like to lend support this site.

To the best of my knowledge, you have to click through via the affiliate links in order to credit FM or other sites with B&H relationships. I'm not aware of any way to do this retroactively.

Thanks Dan,

It's not clear where the links are on the forum pages. A search box for B&H is sometimes visible and sometimes I see a few specific items by the B&H logo. This ought to be obvious.

I can't comment on that in relationship to the FM site.

My blog also has an affiliate relationship with B&H, so I'm a bit familiar with this process. It can be a bit tricky to find the right balance between making the links accessible (which, as an affiliate, you want to do) and putting so darned many links all over every page that you annoy people and just look crass (which you don't want to do!).

Also, the vendor (in this case B&H) typically supplies multiple types of link graphics, and the web sites often switch among them instead of displaying the same one all the time. It is possible that this is the explanation for the seemingly random appearance and disappearance of a link you might have seen earlier. (If I were God Of The Internet, I would find some way to let browser users go back and see the previous page with the same ads. Can't tell you how many times I've spotted something interesting right as I click on a new link, only to go back to look for it and find it gone!)

Take care,

Dan

Isn't there a search B&H tab at the top of this page? Regardless, there is always one in the B&S forum.

Hi Db,
Yes, the B&H Photo Search button is a way to search for gear and support the site.

It was a good question, one assumes the search button would do it but it's nice to know for sure.

Thanks all, esp. Fred of course, for all the input. I once contacted B&H after a large purchase and asked if FM could get retroactive credit. After some verbal exchanges the marketing department was supposed to call me back within 24 hours. That was months ago. Still no call.

OK, I placed an order. Hope the credit takes place. Only Fred and B&H knows for sure, I suppose.
