When we click through to a BD link, because IB is an affiliate, do they get $$$ for the referral? Or do we need to actually purchase from BD for them to do that?

Is it like quidco, where the referring site (i.e. quidco) gets a kickback from the company from which you purchase the stuff - only of course quidco shares that kickback with its members whereas presumably IB would retain that?
IB gets money for purchases, although there might be some sites where they get money for qualified leads or from purchases a few days from now.

Sounds like there is a solution. Unless, of course, IB is going to share some of their revenues with you for the forums which you moderate.
