    Having just had to remove another post with an affiliate link in here is a quick reminder of the rules - please do not post any affiliate links as these are not permitted on MSE at all and they will be removed.

    For your information any Amazon link that has a -21 in it somewhere is an affiliate link so if you copy the link from elsewhere please edit it before posting and only post direct clean links to the product. Thankyou.

    redfox, can you tell me exactly what an affiliate link is, as I don't understand what they are?

    I was about to ask the same question. I've no idea what an affiliate link is either, so would welcome an explanation.

    Its an url that has an id in it which allows the user to earn from the traffic it produces
    It's not just about the money

    Thanks Silk :) And by looking at Redfox's post, any link with a '-21' in it is one of those?

    any Amazon link with -21 in it is an affiliate link, yes. Other sites have different ways of identifying the earner on a link.

    An affiliate link is a link where someone earns money from people clicking on the link through to the site. These are not allowed on MSE at all.

    From the rules:

    Affiliates.
    We class an affiliate as any link where a third party that pays a referral commission is involved. If a link uses an affiliate middleman before landing on the source page, this will be removed where reported.

    ..... so if I add a link from Amazon, for a kindle book that is free at the moment, that has a 21 in it, so that is not allowed as a link?

    no, because it's an affiliate link that somebody gains monetarily from.

    Your post has been removed because of the affiliate link in it.
