I'm sure glad to know that the National Book Critics Circle blog won't be engaging in buzz marketing. A sigh of relief for me.
btw, I expect them to call out the New York Review of Books for having Barnes & Noble links to all the books they review.
UPDATE: The Literary Saloon pretty much says it all on this.

Huh. Well, I link to books that I don't like as well as the books I do like. It's mostly because Amazon is a very thorough source of information about the book, and generally - even if we give something a bad review - editorial and trade reviews are available online at Amazon for people to compare against.
Besides, I make about $5 a month on the Amazon links. About a latte a month. Enough to keep me in snooty coffee. I feel no guilt about that. :-)

You all have much bigger readerships and/or they're much more willing to follow links than I do - I think I've pulled in $3.76 from Amazon and/or Powells over the 4 year period I've had the two websites (of course, I've been to lazy to do the links from the blog).
