Affiliate Link Policy
At IslandsPhilippines.com, we are committed to transparency and providing our users with high-quality content. This Affiliate Link Policy outlines how we use affiliate links on our Website and the nature of our affiliate relationships.
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track the referral from our Website to a third-party site. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the sale at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support our Website and allow us to continue providing valuable content to our users.
2. How We Use Affiliate Links
2.1 Disclosure: We clearly disclose the use of affiliate links within our content. You will see a disclaimer or notice indicating that affiliate links are present. This ensures transparency and helps you understand the nature of our relationships with third-party companies.
2.2 Relevance: We only include affiliate links to products or services that we believe are relevant and valuable to our users. Our recommendations are based on our independent research and opinions.
3. Editorial Integrity
Our editorial content is created independently of any affiliate relationships. The presence of affiliate links does not influence our editorial decisions, reviews, or recommendations. We strive to provide honest and unbiased information to our users.
