But regarding the link to the book in every post, I have a different viewpoint. When I'm a stranger to a site, I view posts as the way to get to know the author and figure out if I want to buy. So if every post has a link to the book, it feels like a salesperson following me around the store, and it really turns me off the site. Just a perspective from a newbie. <BR/><BR/>-Krista<BR/>http://www.shadesofwhitematter.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241362000528307226.post-89981887070377132622009-01-31T13:48:00.000-08:002009-01-31T13:48:00.000-08:00My book covers both have hidden url's that lead to...My book covers both have hidden url's that lead to a place of purchase...<BR/><BR/>Although one could put a PayPal or other "Buy Now" button there too!<BR/><BR/>L.

Or you can use your bookcover in the sidebar, and have it cloak an url that leads directly to a sales portal. Boke around on your blog to find this feature.I also like the idea of collaborating with a local indie bookstore and shooting sales over to their website from your blog. This would require some collaboration with the bookstore owner, but it can be done, and might be a nice technique for a blog book tour.<BR/><BR/>Just a few ideas to consider.<BR/><BR/>DaniDanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14471919576687777886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241362000528307226.post-38174357246278753762009-01-31T10:04:00.000-08:002009-01-31T10:04:00.000-08:00DaniGreat advice.

Or are you using the term to describe any link to a purchase point?<BR/><BR/>Shari <BR/>http://sharilyle-soffe.comShari Lyle-Soffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10112474719312198933noreply@blogger.com
