If a website links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their "shopping cart" through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the website gets a small percentage of the sale.  Amazon links are not "pay per click". If you click on the product link and stay around Amazon and purchase something else, however, Friends of MIP will get commission on that sale.
