FTC Disclosure Compliance Rules
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 are aware if the blogger or publisher is sponsored, endorsed, or partnered with a different company. The readers need to know if the content publisher is making money by sharing a link or product. In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about links and posts on this site:
What Are Affiliate Links?
Any/all of the links on marketthemagnet.com are affiliate links for which I receive a small compensation from sales of certain items. Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: when a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on marketthemagnet.com to purchase an item, the reader is redirected to purchase an item, the reader is redirected to the seller’s website, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from marketthemagnet).
In other words, Marketthemagnet is not liable for any actions done by the seller, Marketthemagnet simply sends potential customers to the seller’s website and they decide if they will buy or not. Amazon and/or other companies pay Marketthemagnet a commission or other compensation for helping to bring customers to their website. Prices are exactly the same for readers whether they purchase through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link. Clicking an affiliate link and clicking a non-affiliate link does not change the price or anything else for the visitor. Marketthemagnet uses two main types of affiliate programs:
1. Amazon affiliate links.
Marketthemagnet.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites, as well as to other websites that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.
2. Product affiliate links.
If you click a product affiliate link and buy the product, then we will get a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation. 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.”The bottom line is that we only recommend products we think will be of benefit to our users. Any purchase made through the site helps supports the site and pay the bills for running the site.
Thank you very much! We appreciate you!
