Affiliate programms for Netflix and Amazon, highly targeted to the actual movies, add local Coupon Ad Systems from cinemas (I know they don't existyet), now double the traffic with some SEO optimization (nothing bad, just better cross linking on the site), get higher conversion rates to regular users by integrating email supscriptions at the end of every article... target the email newsletter by city.... ad local cinema advertisement by a small self service ad system ...

I think it's quite possible to make substantial amounts of money with Roger Eberts site.

I love to discuss about how to setup affiliate type program for local business. One of the problem is payment tracking. I am trying to come up a solution. Love to talk about it...

I've thought about this a lot as well, its a tougher problem to crack than meets the eye. I started working on something like this that I ended up scrapping to solve the payment tracking part first. That is also a really tough problem :)

I'm not sure how this would drive incremental sales instead of being unprofitable payments for sales you were gonna get anyway.

are you talking specifically about the movie theater or affiliate marketing in general?
