What that means in practice
Every "Check price on Amazon" button on this site is an affiliate link. If you click it and buy something, Amazon pays us a percentage of the sale. You pay exactly the same price as you would reaching Amazon any other way.
Every price button on this site links straight to Amazon, with our affiliate tag in the address. The page is built with links to Amazon.com; when you load it, the button is pointed at the Amazon store for your country — Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de and so on — wherever the same product has been checked there. Those links carry rel="nofollow sponsored": they are advertising, and they are labeled as advertising to search engines.
Where this could bias us, and what we do about it
Commission is a percentage, so in principle we earn more from expensive recommendations. Three structural facts push against that, and we would rather you could check them than take our word:
- We do not rank by commission, and no ranking on this site has ever been reordered because of what a product pays. Where the honest recommendation is the cheapest item on the page — or a technique to learn rather than a product to buy — that is what the page says.
- Some of the things we recommend most firmly cost under twenty dollars, and several of the products we cover are not the ones we send people to first. Price does not decide the order, and neither does commission.
- Where we cannot verify that a product exists on the Amazon store you are sent to, the button opens a search rather than a product page. Several products on this site are sold only in Europe, and their pages say so rather than hiding it.
What we never do
We do not accept payment for placement, ranking or favorable coverage. We do not publish sponsored content. We do not change a recommendation because a product went out of stock or because a different one pays better — it cannot pay better, and that is the point.
Prices
Every product page is published with an indicative price, read from Keepa's record of Amazon prices on the day the page was last revised. When you load the page, it may be replaced by a live price for the Amazon store of your country, also read from Keepa and kept for up to six hours; it is marked "Live price". Where no reliable live price exists — no offer, or one well above every other market — the indicative price stays. Prices change constantly, and the figure on Amazon at the moment of purchase is the only one that counts.
