The rule
Evidence determines the conclusion. Products without affiliate programs may still be covered, and negative conclusions remain allowed. Editorial rankings cannot be sold.
Placement and identity
A plain-language disclosure must appear before the first qualifying link. Each destination must stay attached to a stable item identifier and an approved tracking-tag version.
Current site status
Affiliate linking is disabled throughout the published editorial inventory. There are no retailer destinations, cloaked links, or live price claims.
