Merriam-Webster Dictionary Just Started Cashing In on Affiliate Marketing

After 191 Years of Defining Words, Merriam-Webster Starts Cashing In on Affiliate Marketing with Product Reviews

Today's email is sponsored by:

Back in 1831, Merriam-Webster started defining words and selling dictionaries.  Now, they are writing product reviews in hopes of earning an affiliate commission from Amazon.

They used to just give you the definition of "Crock Pot", now they will sell you one.

According to Archive.org, Merriam-Webster launched the Reviews section of their website just over 2 months ago on March 4th.  However, other evidence does appear to show that they may have started over a year ago, but have now restructured their URLs.

Either way, they have clearly joined the affiliate marketing business.

Why did they make this move? What does this mean for other affiliate marketers?

I give some of the history, thoughts, and what others think in a full blog post right here.

Don't miss out on this super-interesting news for the affiliate marketing industry.
