Goodbye BN.com links

15 Aug 2002

A few months ago I mentioned the difficulty that I had in creating links to books, music, and other products at Barnes & Noble’s BN.com site.

In a move that has shown their utter cluelessess, BN.com has changed something about their affiliate links and now the old links are all broken. Every single link that I had on this site to products at BN now returns a 404.

So what changed? I don’t know. I didn’t even bother to find out. I just changed all the links to point to Amazon.com. They’ve had the same structure to their affiliate links as far back as I can remember. I know their links won’t break, and that’s just one less thing to worry about.
