The readers need to know if the content publisher is making money by sharing a link or product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whatareaffiliatelinks\">What Are Affiliate Links?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Purchases are made on external affiliate company websites: when a reader clicks on an affiliate link located on plcautomations.com to purchase an item, the reader buys the item from the seller directly (not from plcautomations).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon and\/or other companies pay plcautomations a small commission or other compensation for helping to bring customers to their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices are exactly the same for readers whether they purchase is through an affiliate link or a non-affiliate link.&nbsp;Clicking&nbsp;an affiliate link and clicking a non-affiliate link does not change the price or anything else for the visitor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>plcautomations uses two main types of affiliate programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1amazonaffiliatelinksbrainprotipsamazonstore\">1. Amazon affiliate links.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>plcautomations.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\u00a0other websites that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2productaffiliatelinks\">2. Product affiliate links.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you click a product affiliate link and buy the product, then I will&nbsp;get&nbsp;a percentage of the sale or some other type of compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Again, prices are not different if you use these affiliate links. You will not pay more by clicking through to the link. These links are not \u201cpay per click.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"whataboutsponsoredcontent\">What about sponsored content?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not write sponsored posts. I want to provide authentic, un-biased information. However, if a company would like to publish sponsored content on plcautomations, I will disclose this clearly in the beginning of the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is that I only recommend products I use myself or that I would recommend to family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your purchase helps support my research efforts. Thank you very, very much! I appreciate you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This Disclosure is adapted from BrainProTips.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FTC Disclosure Compliance Rules In 2015, the Federal Trade Commission released their new rules for Disclosure Compliance.
