Welcome! Transparency is important to me, so this page outlines how I use affiliate links on this website.
What are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are a way for websites to earn a commission by recommending products or services. When you click on an affiliate link on my site and make a purchase, I may receive a commission from the retailer. This helps me keep creating valuable content for you, completely free!
How I Use Affiliate Links
I only recommend products or services that I genuinely believe in and have used myself (or would use if applicable). My goal is to provide you with honest and helpful information to assist you in making informed decisions.
Here are some key points about how I use affiliate links:
- Transparency: I will always disclose whenever a link is an affiliate link. You’ll see a clear indication within the content itself, letting you know that the link is connected to an affiliate program.
- Relevance: I only recommend products or services that are relevant to the content on this website. My goal is to connect you with resources that will truly benefit you.
- Quality: I partner with reputable companies and programs that offer high-quality products and services. My reputation is important to me, so I wouldn’t recommend anything I wouldn’t stand behind myself.
Benefits of Affiliate Links
Affiliate links provide several benefits for both me and you:
- Free Content: Affiliate commissions help me keep creating valuable content free of charge. This allows you to access helpful information without having to pay a subscription fee.
- Supported Recommendations: When you purchase through an affiliate link, you’re indirectly supporting this website and the work I do. This allows me to continue providing you with informative and helpful content.
- Informed Decisions: By knowing that some links are affiliate links, you can make informed decisions about whether to click on them and potentially make a purchase.
My Affiliate Link Sharing Guidelines
If you choose to share my affiliate links, I appreciate it! However, to maintain compliance and ethical practices, please follow these guidelines:
- Relevance: Only share links on relevant, high-quality web pages and communities related to the product. This ensures the information reaches people who will genuinely benefit from it.
- Transparency: Be clear and upfront about the fact that the link is an affiliate link. You can simply mention that the link is an “affiliate link” or use a similar phrase to disclose your connection.
- No Spam: Avoid posting affiliate links on low-quality sites, YouTube comments, forums, or anywhere it could be viewed as spam. This creates a negative experience for users and reflects poorly on both of us.
- Link Cloaking: Do not use link cloaking services other than my approved Amazon tracking links. Link cloaking hides the destination of the link, which can be misleading and is often against program terms.
