I posted an Amazon link in the iPhone accessories forum, using the most basic Amazon URL form, which is

www.amazon.com/dp/[Amazon ASIN number]

specifically,
www.amazon.com/dp/B07RNL9RT7


When clicked on, the URL gets this appended:
"?tag=mrforums-20"

What is the purpose of this added tag?
 
As an Amazon Associate, MacRumors earns a commission from qualifying purchases made through links in this post.
It's an affiliate tag, so the site earns a small fraction from any purchases made through those links.
