Maiks.ytAffiliate disclosure
Know when a link can pay me.
Commercial relationships, personal recommendations, and firsthand use are separate facts on Maiks.yt. Every applicable label should appear before someone follows a link.
Disclosure labels
Four labels, four different claims.
More than one label can apply to the same link. Showing every applicable label keeps a commercial relationship separate from Michael's actual experience or opinion.
- 01Affiliate
May generate income or another benefit
Using the link may pay Michael a commission, credit, product, or other benefit. This label does not mean he recommends the product.
- 02Recommended
Michael actively recommends it
This records Michael's opinion. If a commercial relationship also exists, both labels must appear.
- 03Personally used
Used or owned by Michael
This describes firsthand experience. It is not automatically a recommendation and does not say whether the link produces income.
- 04Sponsored / ad
Paid placement or campaign
A company paid for or otherwise funded the placement. The disclosure should be clearly visible wherever the message or link appears.
Placement policy
Disclosure stays beside the decision.
If a link can provide money, credit, a free product, or another benefit, that relationship is identified near the link itself. It is not hidden in a site-wide footer.
An affiliate label is not a recommendation. A recommendation label is not proof that no commercial relationship exists. Every applicable fact should be visible.
Prices, availability, and product terms can change after publication. The store or provider page remains the source for the current offer.

Active links and partners
Future entries should identify the partner, the commercial relationship, the applicable labels, and whether the link is still active.
