I have done a major cleaning up of the site’s Banner Exchange program. Many sites were not displaying the exchange code on their sites, so they were removed.

Please remember to insert the exchange code on your site, on an easily accessible page, such as the splash/home or links page on your site.

Thank you.

As I mentioned a little while ago, due to the North Carolina legislature passing a new law reclassifying and taxing state online purchases, Amazon has dropped all of their NC affiliates effective at the end of June.

Since then, Cafe Press and Overstock.com have followed suit and terminated their partnerships with NC affiliates.

In light of this, I have been reworking the ads and partnerships I have on the site, so you might notice some layout changes as I go along with recalibrating everything.

I assume that other large affiliates such as Commission Junction and Linkshare very well may follow suit if this keeps up, which unfortunately it probably will.

Gotta love the fascistic turn this country is taking.

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. The effects of internet taxation that is.

As regular visitors here I am sure have noticed, I run quite a few ads here on the site. This is to help make a few extra bucks for the site as things such as hosting and domain registration are not free. So this is one reason I am a member of a few different affiliate programs. Including Amazon’s program.

Well, while going through my mail this morning, I received a rather alarming an email from Amazon in regards to their popular affiliate program.

We regret to inform you that the North Carolina state legislature (the General Assembly) appears ready to enact an unconstitutional tax collection scheme that would leave Amazon.com little choice but to end its relationships with North Carolina-based Associates.

snip…

But because the new law is drafted to go into effect once enacted – which could happen in the next two weeks – we will have to terminate the participation of all North Carolina residents in the Amazon Associates program on or before that same day. After the termination day, we will no longer pay any referral fees for customers referred to Amazon.com or Endless.com nor will we accept new applications for the Associates program from North Carolina residents.

So, it appears within the next few weeks, this shall pass. (North Carolina being a 100% Dem-run state since Reconstruction cinches that) And with that, the Amazon links here shall be removed as they will be useless.

As you have probably noticed, very little on the site has changed since the layout was put up in September. This is mainly due to having no time for this site due to a heavy volume of work via my business and it’s clients. When business picks up, unfortunately the less necessary and leisure activities have to take a back seat. And this site as one of them.

For those of you who have applied for the Nos Top 100 site and the Banner Exchange, I will get to your applications over the next week.

Thank you for understanding.

Welcome to the NEW Nosferatu’s Coffin!

As long-time visitors can see, I have completely revamped the site. After years of the same layout and the same hand-coded style, I finally got tired of it and decided to port the the site to WordPress.

Not everything from the old site has been moved over yet, but hopefully shall be over the next week or so. This includes the Banner Exchange (current members are still displayed, however new members cannot join until the script is reinstalled and moved over) and the Nos image gallery.

After a long time, I finally have setup the movie page which will now allow you to watch “Nosferatu” right here on the site. Just click the “Watch Movie” menu item.

Happy viewing!
