Maybe the affiliate stuff is still there but ranked lower?


Sure but it sounds to me like it shouldn't be featured in the "Shopping" widget when it has 9 affiliate links?

When I hover over the "i" icon it says:

> Information provided by Looria, Amazon, Reddit and other sources. Shop confidently with Kagi - our results have no affiliate links.

The sites featured in the "Shopping" widget were:

- Reddit

- RTINGS: has 8 affiliate links (just from one article I picked, it was featured several times)

- NYTimes: has 47 affiliate links (just from one article I picked, it was featured several times)

- Techgearlab: has 9 affiliate links

Even if you ignored the widget, the first result was a site with 7 amazon affiliate links.


On second read, I think what the Kagi doc means is that they don't provide first-party affiliate links (i.e. if you click on an Amazon.com search result it's not using their affiliate). They will still show you search results that have affiliate links embedded (but presumably don't affect or negatively affect ranking).
