Affiliate links
Learn about our affiliate partnerships, which power shopping links on book interviews and reviews, as well as other pages across the website.
What are affiliate links?
Affiliate links connect retailers and publishers. If someone clicks on a shopping link on a publisher site like HistoryExtra.com, a cookie is enabled to allow the retailer to associate any purchase back to the publisher so that they can take a percentage of the revenue.
How does it work on historyextra.com?
The affiliate links on HistoryExtra are powered by our partners Monetizer 101, Skimlinks and Amazon Associates.
Skimlinks works by aggregating over 65 affiliate networks and over 27,000 affiliate programmes to connect a publisher, such as HistoryExtra, with a retailer. It turns existing retailer links on HistoryExtra into their equivalent affiliate links. Similarly, Amazon tracks purchases through affiliate links logged in its Associates dashboard.
Monetizer 101 provides price comparison widgets to give our users a way of quickly comparing and exploring multiple retailers who sell the products we have reviewed.
How do I buy the products online?
If you decide to purchase a product that’s been recommended on our review or other pages, you are able to do so by clicking through to your desired retailer to make a purchase on their website. When you do this, a new window will open and you will be taken to a third party site that’s completely separate to HistoryExtra. No purchase will be made directly on the HistoryExtra website.
Is HistoryExtra writing reviews based on its affiliate partnerships?
Absolutely not. Our affiliate partners in no way influence HistoryExtra editorial content. Products reviewed are chosen first-hand and solely by the HistoryExtra team, and will feature regardless of whether or not affiliate partners are able to generate commission from a retailer link.
