Affiliate Disclosure
Effective Date: January 30, 2025
Welcome to unlikleygardener.co,! Transparency and trust are important to me, and I want to be upfront about how this site operates. This page explains how I earn commissions (such as they are) through affiliate links and what that means for you as a visitor.
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on this website are affiliate links, which means that if you click on them and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help support my work and keep the site running.
For example, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
Other affiliate programs I participate in may also provide me with commissions when you use site links to make purchases.
2. Why Use Affiliate Links?
I only recommend products and services that I believe in, have researched, or would personally use. My recommendations are not influenced by commissions, and I strive to provide honest and unbiased reviews.
Whenever possible, I aim to:
•Test products firsthand before recommending them.
• Base my reviews on research and verified user experiences.
•Disclose any sponsorships or free products received for review purposes.
That being said, you should always do your own research before making a purchase.
3. Amazon Associates Disclosure
Unlikleygardener.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 linking to Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and other international Amazon sites.
As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
This means that when you click an Amazon link on this site, Amazon tracks that visit and may credit me with a small percentage of the sale.
4. Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon, I may participate in other affiliate programs and networks.
Each program has its own tracking methods and commission structures, but the same principle applies: you will not pay more for using any affiliate links.
5. Sponsored Content & Free Products
At times, I may receive free products, services, or monetary compensation from brands for featuring them on this website. If I do, I will make an effort to publish this information within the content, but whether I do or not, you can safely assume that all products I ever showcase are products that I have first hand knowledge of and am recommending whether I make any money from their sales or not. I simply will NEVER recommend a product, service, or process that I do not use myself.
In this light, receiving a product for free does not guarantee a positive review—my goal is always to provide honest feedback, and my unbiased opinion.
6. Legal Disclosures (U.S. & Canada Compliance)
I follow FTC (US) and Canadian Competition Act guidelines to ensure transparency in affiliate marketing.
This means:
• Affiliate links are clearly marked or publicly disclosed on this website.
• Sponsored content will be explicitly stated.
• I do not, and will never engage in misleading advertising.
