Development discontinued

A while back, Google took the chrome extension down from the extension store as it does not meet their newer requirements.  And as I no longer have the time to maintain it, I've discontinued development.  

Back online in the Chrome Web Store

Under a new link, with a new name (Amazing Affiliate Link), and new branding...

but the chrome extension is back online in the Chrome web store after far too long.

Please give it a try, and if you find it useful, please rate and review.

Amazing Affiliate Link for Opera Next

Thanks to Lifehacker, I've learned that Chrome extensions can now be used in the new versions of Opera.

For this to work, you'll need Opera Next 15 or higher ... Installing Chrome extensions in Opera 15 is easy: First, install the Chrome Extension Installer for Opera Next 15. Then go to the Chrome Web Store and install whatever you want. The Web Store won't complain that you need a supported browser or anything—it'll just work. The extension you want will download and install, and it'll work normally.

And clearly, the Chrome extension that you want is Amazing Affiliate Link.

But then I found out I could refer people and we both get $50 bonuses? Awesome!
