All book links are shrouded affiliate links (tag=fivebooks001-20).
- WalterSear 7y agoThe article is a shrouded puff peice for the interviewee.
- qnsi 7y agoI don't really know what's wrong with that. That's one way to monetize this site and I think it's pretty harmless. I find this site very useful to me, maybe not this one he linked, which really looks like book marketing, but idea of experts recommending books is useful
- scrollaway 7y agoI'm always wary of undisclosed affiliate links. Sometimes it's monetization of genuine recommendations, sometimes it's just "I pulled a bunch of possibly-mediocre books related to a domain I can easily talk about so I can better monetize a blog post".
- cma 7y agoIt's disclosed on the site.
- cosrnos 7y ago"Shrouded" isn't the word I would use when the footer of the article states they participate in amazon's affiliate program and make money off qualifying purchases
- equalunique 7y agoThey're giving you book recommendations. Don't they deserve something for that?
- ufukcan74 7y agoNo harm in reading books , also is it a crime to try to make money?
