おはようございます。KANOです。今回調べた単語はこちら。

あ、ひとつ報告です。年始休みを利用して、AMAZONのアソシエイトリンクを削除OR商品製造会社のリンクに差し替えました。1日で終わったけど疲れたぁww

理由は、AMAZONサイトについて疑問が増えた(詐欺まがいの商品が増えた&返品ルールゆるゆるでいつか自分も被害にあいそう)ためです。

その代わり、個人的にはヨドバシを愛用し始めました。複数商品を希望日にまとめて配達してくれるので、AMAZONのパントリー(サービス終了)の代替としてもかなり使えます。

AMAZONを使うのは、PrimeVideoとKindleとヨドバシに取り扱いがない商品を買うときだけかなと。まあ年明けにすっきりできてよかったです。

Googleアドセンスは引き続きお世話になります。やっぱGoogleがシンプルでいいわぁ・・。
