If I have mispronounced you name wrong, I am incredibly sorry. I am pretty sure I pronounced Darren’s last name wrong again, and hopefully when I reference him in the future, I will say it correctly.

I don’t mark my affiliate links. I think if anything it clutters the content, insults the reader that does know what an affiliate link is, and 99% of the world doesn’t know what (aff) even means:

hmmmm.
You will read a blog with dozens of paid posts (JC) but not one that doesn’t mark an affiliate link?
Another great podcast btw.

While I agree that many people won’t know what (aff) means, I do think that some form of marking is considerate to your readers and that you should be marking your affiliate links in some way.
Maybe the world needs a small icon that could be placed next to affiliate links that could become a symbol for them, much the same way external links on wikis have a symbol next to them.
Thanks for the compliment, for listening and for creating your top 100 list. Without it, finding my content would be much more difficult.

there is also the advantage of linking them as such that people who WANT to support you can do it I reckon.
I’ll have to rethink this at some point again so don’t hold it against me in the meantime.
