An affiliate site can help readers compare options, but a page that republishes merchant descriptions with tracking links may add little. Explain the intended audience, selection method, relevant differences, and limitations. If a reviewer tested products, describe the conditions and results. If the comparison relies on public specifications, identify those sources and the date checked. Do not present an untested item as a firsthand recommendation.
Disclose paid relationships clearly and close to recommendations, consistent with applicable rules. Make sure affiliate links go to the named destination and label any sponsored placement. Avoid claims that a product guarantees income, approval, or results unless the claim is accurate and supported. Google’s AdSense page-readiness guide encourages unique, relevant content, and its Publisher Policies govern content monetized with Google ad code.
Example: A page compares three website hosts. A useful comparison states whether pricing is promotional, which renewal costs were checked, what support response was tested, and which site type each plan fits. It should distinguish editorial findings from compensation and explain that prices can change.
Review the entire page, including ads, affiliate buttons, comments, and outbound links. Google’s overview notes that content can include user-generated material and links to other sites. Remove stale comparisons and check links periodically.
Run SiteReadyScore to prioritize public affiliate pages for a quality and navigation audit. It cannot validate commissions, test a product, or determine whether a disclosure meets the law. Add that evidence and judgment yourself.
