My Amazon associate ID is used in a variety of places other than by me. It’s the default ID for MTAmazon. It’s used in the JavaScript wishlist tool. This means that sometimes people buy things that get credited to my Associates account. Sometimes there are strange patterns that emerge.

According to my associate reports over the last six months, people have bought nine books (including one for $75), a calendar, and a DVD on elephants. And not all at once either. These purchases were spread out across several months. Someone likes elephants.

I’ve seen similar things with my own Amazon accounts. People will buy the oddest things!!

It’s a great plugin! So you deserve the extra referrals.
