Affiliate Link Disclosure
Affiliate programs are programs where I get a small percentage kickback of anything you purchase through an affiliate link on my site (you incur no additional costs but Amazon shared a very small percentage of the purchase price to me).
Anytime I place affiliate links in my articles, I will place a “disclosure” before any affiliate links to let you know they’re there.
The primary affiliate program I participate in is from Amazon.com.
The Amazon Afiliate program requires that I make this legal statement to participate:
“YouDidWhatWithYourWiener.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.com
Amazon, a third party affiliate marketing network, uses cookies to help make sure I get a commission when you buy a product after clicking on a link or ad banner that takes you to the site of one of their merchants. You can read Amazon’s Privacy Policy.”
