What is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a partnership between an online retailer and a website (like this one), where the retailer pays a commission for traffic or sales generated through links on the partner’s site. These links are called “affiliate links,” and they track the source of the referral using unique identifiers.

How This Website Uses Affiliate Links

1. Transparency: Every time you see a link to a product or service, you can assume it is an affiliate link unless explicitly stated otherwise. If you click on one of these links and make a purchase, I may earn a commission from the retailer. This does not result in additional charges to you.
2. Purpose of Recommendations: I only promote products or services that I believe are of high quality, useful, and relevant to my audience. Recommendations are based on my personal experience, thorough research, or both.

Placement of Disclosures

In addition to this detailed disclosure, I include shorter affiliate disclosures directly on pages or sections that feature affiliate links. Examples include statements like:

• “As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.”
• “This page contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through these links.”

These disclosures are placed near the links themselves or in other prominent locations on the page to ensure clarity and transparency.
