Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. This page explains how we may earn money through affiliate partnerships and product recommendations.
The Short Version
Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means if you click on a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe in. Our opinions are always our own.
Table of Contents
At AMB Digital Group, LLC, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This Affiliate Disclosure explains our use of affiliate links and how we may earn compensation through product and service recommendations on our website ambdigitalgroupllc.com (the "Site").
We are committed to providing honest, unbiased reviews and recommendations. While we may earn commissions from some of the products and services we recommend, this never influences our editorial content or the integrity of our recommendations.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow companies to identify when a customer has been referred by a specific website or content creator. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the company can track that the sale originated from our recommendation.
How to Spot an Affiliate Link
Affiliate links often contain tracking codes or parameters in the URL. For example, you might see "?ref=", "?tag=", or "/affiliate/" in the web address. We also clearly disclose affiliate relationships within our content.
These links look and function just like regular links—clicking them takes you to the product or service page. The only difference is that the company can attribute your visit and any subsequent purchase to our referral.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
Here's a simple breakdown of how affiliate marketing works:
We Recommend a Product
We write about products, services, or tools that we believe will be valuable to our readers.
You Click the Link
If you're interested, you click on our affiliate link to learn more or make a purchase.
You Make a Purchase
You decide to purchase the product or service through the link (at no additional cost to you).
We Earn a Commission
The company pays us a small percentage of the sale as a referral fee.
Important: You never pay more when using our affiliate links. The commission comes from the company's marketing budget, not from your pocket. In many cases, we may even be able to share exclusive discounts or deals with our readers.
Our Commitment to You
We take our responsibility to our readers seriously. Here are the principles that guide our affiliate relationships:
Honest Recommendations
We only recommend products and services we have personally used, thoroughly researched, or genuinely believe will benefit our readers.
Full Transparency
We clearly disclose all affiliate relationships. You will always know when a link is an affiliate link.
Unbiased Reviews
Our reviews and opinions are never influenced by affiliate commissions. We'll tell you the pros and cons, even if it means losing a sale.
Reader-First Approach
Your trust means more to us than any commission. We prioritize your interests and needs above affiliate revenue.
No Pay-for-Play
Companies cannot pay us for positive reviews. Our editorial content is completely independent from our affiliate partnerships.

We vet all affiliate partners and products to ensure they meet our quality standards before recommending them.

Identifying Affiliate Links
We make every effort to clearly identify affiliate links on our Site. You can identify affiliate content through:
Disclosure Statements
Articles containing affiliate links will include a disclosure statement near the beginning of the content, typically stating something like "This post contains affiliate links" or "We may earn a commission from purchases made through links in this article."
Link Indicators
Some affiliate links may be marked with indicators such as "(affiliate link)", an asterisk (*), or other visual cues to distinguish them from regular links.
Review & Comparison Posts
Product reviews, comparison articles, and "best of" lists that include purchase links will contain affiliate disclosure notices.
URL Structure
Affiliate links often contain tracking parameters in the URL. If you hover over a link, you may see identifiers like "?ref=", "?tag=", or partner-specific codes.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising, as outlined in 16 CFR Part 255.
FTC Guidelines Compliance
The FTC requires that material connections between advertisers and endorsers be disclosed. A "material connection" exists when we receive compensation—whether money, free products, or other benefits—that might affect the credibility of our endorsement.
We fully comply with these requirements by:
- Clearly and conspicuously disclosing our affiliate relationships
- Placing disclosures where they are easily noticed by readers
- Using plain language that is easy to understand
- Disclosing before the reader clicks any affiliate link
