> As a reader you wouldn't be weirded out if the first section of the article was to justify why an affiliate link was used? Nope, and as the flagging of this article shows, it's worse without disclosure. It's not just an ethical requirement, it's a legal one. (I believe Amazon's affiliate program guidelines requires disclosure) |

Good call, I just found it in their agreement in section 5: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/help/operating/agreemen...
Technically I do mention it on my site but maybe it's not clear enough since I only wrote about it once or twice in a comment on a different post.
I'm working on something now to make this more apparent on all pages that have an affiliate link (which is less than 10 out of ~300 pages).
