In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released its new rules for Disclosure Compliance. These rules are set in place to ensure that readers or viewers of web media (blogs, Youtube videos, etc.) know if the blogger/presenter is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. In blog terms, the readers need to know if the blogger is making money by sharing a link or product. This affiliate disclosure complies with this rule.
AP InvestaGators provides this affiliate disclosure in compliance with the FTC guidelines. Please assume the following about links and posts on this site: Any/all of the links on affiliateprograminvestagator.com may be affiliate links of which affiliateprograminvestagator.com receives compensation from sales thereof. This in no way affects the price you pay for the item(s) you are purchasing.
How do affiliate links work?
Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: When a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on affiliateprograminvestagator.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from affiliateprograminvestagator.com). Amazon and/or other companies we have an affiliate agreement with pay affiliateprograminvestagator.com a small commission or other compensation for promoting their website or products through their affiliate program.
Prices are exactly the same for you if your purchase is through an affiliate link or not. You will not pay more by clicking through links on this website.
We use two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links. (Note: AP|IG is currently not an Amazon Associate.)
affiliateprograminvestagator.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon properties including, but not limited to, amazon.com. Amazon offers a small commission on products sold through their affiliate links.
If a blogger links to an Amazon product (with a special code for affiliates embedded in the link), and a reader places an item in their “shopping cart” through that link within 24 hours of clicking the link, the blogger gets a small percentage of the sale.
2. Product or Service affiliate links.
These affiliate links work the same way: if you click the link and buy the product or service, then affiliateprograminvestagator.com gets a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. Things like e-book bundles, e-courses, and online packages are usually affiliate links, as well. Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through the link. These links are not “pay per click”, unless otherwise denoted.
What about sponsored content?
We do not ordinarily write sponsored posts. We want to bring you real, unbiased information. However, if a post is sponsored by a company and it is a paid sponsorship, we will disclose this clearly at the beginning of the post.
