I think they probably do credit us even though you were redirected.</p> <p>We really appreciate that people are giving some thought to this. That said, please don't go out of your way or worry overly much about what generates a commission and what doesn't. More than anything else we want people to enjoy coming here.</p> <p>Of course, questions about how things work are always welcome.&nbsp;</p> <p>BTW, if you are interested in reading a little more detail on how we make money at YLF, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/backstage/about/how-we-make-money/">there is a page for that</a>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939794 Thu, 23 May 2013 14:12:54 +0000 Elizabeth P 939794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939750 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:15:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 939750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reminder Una and Suz, I was wondering the same thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939748 Thu, 23 May 2013 13:11:50 +0000 texstyle 939748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With the use of cookies, etc. it would be great if the stores could somehow "mark" us as YLF users. Like Nordies, if it weren't for YLF, I may not have begun ordering from them. At the same time, it's often things *not* on YLF that I end up buying from Nordies. That's just one example of course.</p> <p>I would like for YLF to get credit from any item I buy from Nordies (personally). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939723 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:46:52 +0000 Suz 939723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ariadne, that's what I was wondering about. Maybe we should flag this for Greg. I will send him a PM.&nbsp;</p> <p>I get redirected to the Canadian site, too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Elizabeth, there are a bunch of ways to "click through. "</p> <p>1. On the home page there is a list of affiliates on the right hand side of the page if you scroll down. Click from there if you wish.&nbsp;</p> <p>2. On the "Finds" section you will see recommended items from specific stores. Even if you don't want to buy that item, you can go to the store from there.&nbsp;</p> <p>3. From the blog recommendations (on roundup posts, etc.) you can click through, or from images on the blog where Angie's discussing a particular item.&nbsp;</p> <p>4. From the forum -- if someone links to an affiliate site, saying "I bought this xyz here" and you click from their post to buy the same item.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939713 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:31:30 +0000 Elizabeth P 939713@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had NO idea, darn!&nbsp; Cuz I would have saved about a dozen lives by now, I'm sure...</p> <p>How do you "click through from this site?&nbsp; Right now I see an LL Bean ad, so that's easy.&nbsp; But what if I wanted to go to BR?&nbsp; When I've gone through the "finds" stuff, it takes me to the US site. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939703 Thu, 23 May 2013 12:15:03 +0000 Laura 939703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well. YLF and Angie have actually been lifesavers in many ways so the misreading is not a total misreading :)</p> <p>I always click through the store and heaven knows I have plenty of items purchased that way! It's a small way to&nbsp;support YLF for all the ways it's given to us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939616 Thu, 23 May 2013 05:45:50 +0000 Diana 939616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the reminder.&nbsp; </p> <p>Quick question for Angie (or maybe Greg): Is there a direct YLF affiliate link for stores like Nordstrom?&nbsp; (For example, if I wanted to add a bookmark in my browser).&nbsp; </p> <p>ETA: I think I may have found it.&nbsp; On the finds page, in the "partners" list on the right sidebar, if I take those links and make bookmarks, will YLF get credit for things purchased through those bookmarks?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939615 Thu, 23 May 2013 05:37:57 +0000 Ariadne 939615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, if you go to BR via YLF, do you get redirected to the Canadian site and then buy from them? &nbsp;Angie, if that happens and we buy from the Canadian site, do you still get a commission? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939548 Thu, 23 May 2013 02:53:17 +0000 Suz 939548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great! Really glad to know it helps in a small way and will try to ensure I do it always. It is quite easy, really, as long as one keeps it in mind.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939505 Thu, 23 May 2013 02:10:23 +0000 Caro in Oz 939505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wondered about this too. I think I may have messed up. I did click through to buy my SE snakeskin booties but decided the duties were too much. Then I received an email from Nordstroms saying they were on sale so I went to the Nordstroms site from that email. Hope I didn't bypass YLF.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939491 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:42:15 +0000 Angie 939491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, you are a gem. Clicking the retailers link from anywhere on this site will secure the YLF cookie (which means we get the commission). Be it from a blog post, forum post, from the home page, from the finds section - you get the picture. Heading to stores to purchase means we do not get commission. The SA gets that commission :)</p> <p>Eliza, you are cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939482 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:36:26 +0000 Suz 939482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, then. I will try to be even more assiduous with this! YLF <b>first</b> FTW!!!!</p> <p>And, just to clarify...that's clicking through from the store (finds) <b>OR</b> from the home page or other parts of the site?</p> <p>I have ad blocking so I don't see ads any more on forum pages but try to make a point of clicking through from the YLF store and then navigating to wherever I want to be on the vendor's site. So, for example, if I know I want to buy from BR, I'll go to the store, navigate to a BR recommended item (even if that's not the thing I want to buy) and then click on to the thing I <b>do </b>want to buy...hoping all the while that this is working for you!&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway -- if this does work, I just thought I would let others who may have ad blocking&nbsp;know that it's my system.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939472 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:27:04 +0000 Eliza 939472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate the head's up on this. Somehow I missed it. But not surprising since I only found off topic threads today. I am blaming it on my iPad mini. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939471 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:24:08 +0000 Angie 939471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Suz. That's a thoughtful question. Absolutely. If you click through to any of our affiliate sites from anywhere in the world <b><i>from the YLF site - </i></b>we get a very small commission. If you click straight to BR or Amazon or Zappos or Nordies for example - thereby bypassing YLF - we get nothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939465 Thu, 23 May 2013 01:18:30 +0000 Suz 939465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I actually have a question about that. I have always wondered if this works for Canadians, too. For instance, if I go to the J Crew or the BR sites from here...does it work for you? I always try to do that when I order from these sites, but I'm never sure if it really does anything.&nbsp;</p> <p>I <b>wish</b> I could be making regular Nordstrom's orders... alas, not yet!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939442 Thu, 23 May 2013 00:46:17 +0000 Angie 939442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*touched*</p> <p>Thanks, Una. </p> <p>You crack me up, Lyn. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939402 Thu, 23 May 2013 00:03:01 +0000 catgirl 939402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939400 Thu, 23 May 2013 00:00:24 +0000 lyn* 939400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read that as "help YLF get a few pennies and help Angie save lives!" :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reminder-click-through-for-angie-and-ylf#post-939398 Wed, 22 May 2013 23:58:23 +0000 catgirl 939398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure if new members know that if you are buying from Angie's partner retail stores, you can click through from this site and help YLF get a few pennies to keep Angie in our lives!&nbsp; Maybe the more of that, the less noisy ads! </p>
