Use Our Graphics
As a Partner, you're free to display Powell's logos. In doing so, you'll align yourself with what is considered by many to be the best bookstore in the world. Every Powell's logo on our site - square, round, oblong, or otherwise, in these Partnership pages or elsewhere - is yours to use. Simply save the graphic to your files and write it into your page where you like. (To save a graphic, point the mouse to it, right-click, and choose "Save As.")

Graphics
(For search engine graphics, see below.)
 

Of course you can set up your links straight from the text of your page, too, without using graphics. The destination URLs you create by following the simple instructions below will usher visitors through your door and straight to the proper corner of our store.

Make Links
No matter how you choose to link, you'll earn 7.5% commission on every sale from your web site. Shop around, and you'll find that Powell's Partnership Program is among the most generous in the industry. Unlike other bookstores, we offer a high, flat commission rate on sales regardless whether you recommend the title or let your visitors decide. So go ahead: recommend titles. But give your visitors access to over a million used, new, and out-of-print books with a Powell's search engine, too. More selection for your visitors means more commissions for you.

Below you'll find all our link options. Mix and match to build a big, friendly - and independent! - bookstore of your own.

Use our Search Engine
By far the most effective link to generate immediate click-thru sales is a Powell's search engine. By placing a Powell's search engine on your pages, you'll be providing your viewers with a powerful tool, enabling direct access to every corner of our enormous inventory. Who knows what they really want? Obviously, they enjoy your web site (why else would they be there?), but who can predict what other interests they might have? When you bring a customer to Powell's, you receive a commission regardless what they buy. So let them decide. Customers with search capabilities are much more likely to make a purchase.
