"Does Brinker make money from those books? The links just go straight to Amazon."

Short answer: yes

Longer answer:

Yes, with his traffic, he could be making as much as 7.5% these days. It was about double that when we first started in the 1990s.

The links have code in them that pay Brinker if you buy that book or any other books on that visit from the site that referred you.

I can give an example of links I have for my online store that have my name in the code so you can see how it works:

HP No. 58 Photo Cartridge (C6658AN)
amazon.com
HP No. 57 Color Ink Cartridge (C6657A)
amazon.com

Back in 1998 I put Bob Brinker's recommended reading list into this format. Bob Jr soon copied me and stopped linking to my site. He then made fun of my reading list from his discussion forum before he had to shut it down because too many of his paying customers were complaining about the QQQQ trade gone bad. So... this is some of the info we have for a "Unauthorized Biography of Bob Brinker" we may write someday.
