Ethical Affiliate Monetisation (Examples)

Earn without eroding trust.

The rule: reader-first

Recommend only what you would use. Disclose near buttons. Compare fairly and list the cons.

Page types that convert

• Comparison tables for clear differences.
• Best-of lists segmented by use-case.
• In-depth reviews with screenshots and real feature tests.
• Starter kits that bundle tools for beginners.

Copy patterns

• “Best for beginners / budget / speed” tags.
• “We earn if you buy, at no extra cost” disclosure.
• “Here’s when NOT to choose this” sections.

Tracking

• Use a link cloaker or manager.
• Fire affiliate_click events.
• Add UTM parameters per placement to learn what works.
