Here’s the straightforward version: My Site takes part in the Amazon Associates Program. That’s an affiliate setup that lets sites like ours earn a small commission by linking out to products on Amazon.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
In practice, that means if you click one of our Amazon links and end up buying something — not even necessarily the item we linked to — we might earn a little commission. It costs you nothing extra. We mention specific products in our guides because we think they’re genuinely useful or relevant to what you’re reading about, not because of the commission itself, though we won’t pretend that’s not part of why this site exists.
We may also work with other affiliate partners beyond Amazon from time to time, and we’ll always aim to be upfront about it.
