Welcome to sdcmt.com! To maintain transparency and trust with our valued readers, we provide this Affiliate Disclaimer & Disclosure to explain our use of affiliate links and how they contribute to the upkeep and improvement of our website. It’s important you understand how we operate and how our content is funded.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a process where we earn a commission on sales when you purchase a product or service through a special link (an affiliate link) on our website. Essentially, we partner with various companies and retailers. When you click on one of these affiliate links and make a purchase, we receive a small percentage of the sale price as a commission. This is a common practice across the internet and helps websites like ours continue to provide valuable content to our users.
Think of it as a referral fee. We recommend products or services we believe are helpful or valuable, and if you choose to purchase them through our links, the company rewards us for the referral. This allows us to keep our site running, pay for content creation, and continue providing you with the information you seek.
How Affiliate Links Benefit You
The most important thing to understand is that clicking on an affiliate link and making a purchase does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay for the product or service remains the same, whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website. The commission we earn is paid by the retailer, not by you.
In fact, sometimes using our affiliate links can actually benefit you. We may be able to secure exclusive discounts or promotions for our readers through our affiliate partnerships. We always strive to provide you with the best possible deals and information.
Amazon Associates Program
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. This means that when you click on an Amazon link on our site and make a purchase, we earn a small commission.
Amazon is a major source of products we review and recommend. By participating in the Amazon Associates Program, we can continue to provide you with detailed product information and recommendations, ultimately helping you make informed purchasing decisions. Rest assured that our reviews and recommendations are based on our honest opinions and experiences, and are not influenced by the commission we receive.
Transparency and Integrity
We are committed to maintaining transparency and integrity in all our content. We only recommend products or services that we genuinely believe are valuable and relevant to our audience. Our reviews and recommendations are based on thorough research, testing (when possible), and honest opinions. We will always disclose when a link is an affiliate link. You may see phrases like “affiliate link,” “sponsored link,” or a similar indicator near the link itself.
It’s important to us that you trust the information we provide. We will never compromise our integrity for the sake of earning a commission. Our primary goal is to help you make informed decisions and find the best products and services for your needs.
