Last December I reported on the resurrection of Half.com. Half.com has long been one of everyone's favorite sources for used textbooks. Both used textbook buyers and sellers found it the best site to market used textbooks. Then eBay bought Half.com and last year announced they were closing the service after textbook season was over for fall 04. eBay tried to get everyone to list their used textbooks on eBay but Half would not die. Fall 04 saw record sales at Half.com. Next came the re-start of their referral program in January where they paid website owners for sending buyers. Now Half has announced a update to the referral program. In the past they paid only when web sites sent a new visitor that registered for the first time but paid nothing for sending return users. This resulted in very little referral traffic. The new program pays referral fees for every sale for any user! This will result in more sites promoting Half.com for used textbooks. This will make Half THE PLACE to post used textbooks for sell! Half has been a favorite and it may well become the used textbook powerhouse of the net.
