Amazon's "reach" is pretty impressive and the small time time investment in review posting could have a significant impact on yours. Just a suggestion :) You may not get the commission on that purchase since the person is already on Amazon trying to decide whether to buy but that person could enjoy your review and start reading your blog which could result in future purchases and commissions.

The product has since been removed. Since I have my own web sites, I have no interest in giving away content that I can derive no benefit from. If someone reads a review here and decides to purchase, I get a 4-6% commission. If that same review appears on AMAZON and influences purchase, I get nothing. Plus it is kind of cool when the author of the book you've just reviewed stops by and <a href="http://criticalmas.com/2008/04/running-away-from-wall-street-and-the-adventurist/" rel="nofollow">comments</a> your own blog. :) I once bought a flashlight that I hated so much, I wrote a trash review over on AMAZON.

Do you usually post your reviews there as well?
