Profitable links
I think it is only fair I should warn readers that the Amazon links I often put in my posts—as for instance when mentioning “Introducing Monte Carlo Methods with R—are potentially earning me money through the Amazon Associates program! This means that each time a reader enters the Amazon website through one of those links and makes a purchase in the US—not necessarily the one referenced by the link—, I do receive 4% to 6% of this purchase from Amazon as a referral. Which is a great deal. The overall amounts I receive from Amazon are quite modest, of the magnitude of one free book every other month, but I thought readers should be warned about this possibly hidden and therefore involuntary support!

The most shocking fact about this is that it means that you also potentially make money out of un-Bayesian books; I am very disappointed.
