Message: <blockquote data-quote="HellHound" data-source="post: 180191" data-attributes="member: 3397">I'm definitely sticking with RPGnow, they have been incredibly supportive of the PDF d20 market and a lot of us (electronic d20 publishers) know that a chunk of our sales would never have happened if we had been only selling through our own site (especially for me right now, with my site being down due to server problems). In addition, RPGnow has been spending money on high-profile advertising in Dragon and Dungeon magazines. I've been in dialogue with RPGnow since the inception of the d20 products part of Ambient Inc. and they are not refusign to cross-link based on exclusivity, just based on whether or no the page they link to has an alternate means of buying the product.My recommendation would be to make a new set of pages for  products being sold by RPGnow that do not include links to your own shopping cart, the white-wolf catalog, or whatever other virtual storefronts you are selling through. Maybe ask RPGnow first if that would be all it takes to keep your link at the bottom of your product - but effectively it allows you to have your own shopping cart without "stealing" sales from RPGnow.I know I will still be using RPGnow as my primary point of sale for the foreseeable future, although I am also listing my material in other virtual store-fronts, I'm just not linking to them from the product pages on our web-site.</blockquote>
