﻿ Disclosure for ZoBooks + ZoShorts
Full Disclosure

As I've publicly announced on the Zoetrope boards many times
since 2002 (when ZoBooks was created), the Amazon links embedded in
ZoBooks and ZoShorts contain 4%-referral tags
that don't add
any extra fees for the buyers, but were intended to partially justify
the countless hours I've dedicated to designing and updating these sites.

NB: I've actually earned an average of $1.73/year on those tags. No joke.

Even though these sites have provided no significant compensation for several years,
I continue to update them because I feel they showcase the finest that Zoetrope has to offer.
They display to the world what this talented community is capable of achieving.

FYI, I also maintain: ZoPubs (publications edited by Zoetrope members),
ZoBlogs (Zoetroupers in the blogosphere) and In Memoriam.

Thanks for your interest-
Alan C. Baird


29 March 2009 Update:
I just checked Amazon's tracking system, and ZoBooks/ZoShorts
have not generated any referral fees during the last four quarters.
I thought this issue had been laid to rest years ago, but I just invested
the extra effort to remove all 408 referral tags, in order to eliminate any further rumors.
