Here’s a clear and compliant affiliate disclosure for a website that may be impacted by Google’s manual actions for spam affiliate content (per Google’s Publisher Policies and Webmaster Guidelines):
Affiliate Disclosure
This website participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites. These commissions help support our content creation at no additional cost to you.
Important Notes:
- We only recommend products/services we believe provide value.
- Our content is not influenced by affiliate partnerships, and we prioritize honest, unbiased reviews.
- Some pages may contain excessive affiliate links, but we strive to balance usefulness with monetization.
This site complies with Google’s policies on affiliate content. Per their guidelines:
- We avoid thin affiliate content (e.g., auto-generated or low-value pages).
- We add original analysis, expertise, or editorial value beyond basic product info.
- Affiliate links are disclosed clearly (like this notice).
For questions, contact: [[email protected]].
Why This Works for Google:
- Transparency – Clearly states affiliate relationships.
- Policy Alignment – Addresses Google’s concerns about spammy/auto-generated affiliate content.
- User-First Tone – Emphasizes value over monetization.
