Use these assets

Resources to help you get started.

Before you share

Make clear, accurate recommendations.

  • Commercial relationship must be clear in the medium used.
  • Paid sponsorship terms must be agreed in writing before publication.
  • Do not present a sponsor read as independent editorial testing if it is not.
Tracking

Keep campaign attribution clear.

Use an approved distinct campaign or referral link for this channel so attribution remains clear without publishing internal performance targets.

Check

Before you publish

Paid sponsorship is separate from the standard affiliate program and requires a written agreement.

Referral program

Track your referrals in one place.

Use the same program terms wherever you share your link. Check eligible services, disclosures and withdrawal rules before starting.
