Gawker gives some guy free money
Gawker, a company that’s had to fire about half their staff due to the ‘economic downturn’, has given Cheap College Gamers quite a hefty sum of money! Owen Good posted sunday coupons deals today, and linked to an xbox 360 with the Amazon referrer tag “mmbevigaotst-20″. Do a little googling and you’ll find a page on Cheap College Gamers (page linked to above) filled with links to amazon using that referrer tag.
Kotaku, a Gawker subsidiary, could be making quite a sum from Amazon commissions. Instead, some guy is making $16 (or more) per person that buys an Xbox via his link, and also cash from OTHER things people buy as long as it’s during the same visit to Amazon (which, usually, is quite a surprising amount).
I’m sure Goldenchild is very happy for the free money that you gave him, Owen Good. Nick Denton, you are a failure. (Valleywag won’t pick this failure up, for Owen writes there too)

You can find the link on the “sunday coupons deals” link made above so that the HTTP_REFERER is kotaku instead of my site.
