Amazon's associates program offers web site publishers a fairly quick and easy way to generate some extra income from product recommendations. Currently, the program pays commissions starting at 4% (or as Amazon says, "up to 8.5%") on sales generated from traffic you refer through an affiliate link.

3rd party software. My experience? It wasn't that bad, other than dealing with

I have long believed that there are two areas where e-mail needs the greatest improvement: file attachments and user authentication. I can?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢t fix user authentication today, but a product called Pando can fix the problems with attachments.
