1. Clear and Prominent Statement:
- Start with a clear statement that your website, Getreviw.com, contains affiliate links.
- Use clear language like: “This website contains affiliate links,” or “We may earn a commission when you click on our links.”
2. Explanation of Affiliate Marketing:
- Briefly explain what affiliate marketing is in simple terms.
- Explain that when users click on an affiliate link on Getreviw.com and make a purchase on the linked site, you may receive a commission from the vendor, at no extra cost to the user. This “at no extra cost” part is important for reassuring users.
3. Identify Affiliate Relationships:
- State that you are a participant in specific affiliate programs (e.g., “As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.”). If you are part of multiple programs, you can list them or state that you participate in various affiliate programs.
- You don’t necessarily need to list every single affiliate link, but you need to disclose the potential for earning commissions through links on your site.
4. Impact on Reviews/Content:
- Crucially, state that your affiliate relationships do not influence your reviews or content. Emphasize that your reviews and opinions are honest and based on your genuine assessment (or the opinions of your users, if it’s a platform for user-submitted reviews).
- This helps maintain trust with your audience.
5. What Information is Shared (Briefly):
- You can briefly mention that when users click on an affiliate link, they are taken to the third-party website, and that website will have its own privacy policy and terms of service.
6. Call to Action (Optional):
- You can thank users for their support, as clicking through affiliate links helps support Getreviw.com.
7. Contact Information:
- Provide a way for users to contact you if they have questions about your affiliate relationships.
Key Principles for Your Disclosure:
- Clarity: The language should be easy to understand, avoiding jargon.
- Prominence: The disclosure should be easy for users to find and see.
- Honesty: Be truthful about your affiliate relationships.
Where to Link Your Affiliate Disclosure:
- In the Footer: This is a standard location for legal and informational links.
- On Pages with Affiliate Links: While a dedicated page is good, for important affiliate links (especially in reviews), consider a brief disclosure near the link itself or at the beginning/end of the content. This is highly recommended by regulatory bodies like the FTC. A simple “(Affiliate Link)” or similar text next to the link can be effective.
- Link from Your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service: You can also link to your Affiliate Disclosure page from your Privacy Policy and Terms of Service pages.
