Affiliate and advertising disclosure

A site about affiliate marketing should be especially clear about its own money. Here is every way Affilia.com earns, and how you can tell.

Display advertising

Ads on this site are served by Google AdSense. Google chooses which ads appear, and we don’t endorse the advertisers. Ads are visually separate from our content.

Affiliate links

As of the date above, the links to programs in our directory are ordinary links: Affilia earns nothing when you click them or join a program. If we add affiliate links in the future, every page that contains them will say so near the top, and the links will carry the rel="sponsored" attribute. Earning a commission would never change the terms we display or how we rank programs.

Sponsorships and featured listings

Brands can pay for featured listings, category or tool sponsorships, newsletter placements and contest prizes. All paid placements are labeled where they appear, and sponsors have no say over our editorial content. See advertise and sponsor.

Introductions

When a brand asks us for help through the growth-plan form, we may, with their permission, introduce them to affiliate managers, agencies or platforms, and we may be paid for that introduction. We tell the brand before making any paid introduction.

Reader support

Readers can choose to support Affilia with contributions, which pay for research, tools, contributors, contest prizes and promotion.

Our standard

We follow the US Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides and our own editorial policy. If you ever think we have fallen short, tell us.
