Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency is important to us at Viral Rang. We want you to have confidence in the content we provide and understand our relationship with affiliate programs. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we use affiliate links on Viral Rang, what that means for you as a reader, and how we maintain editorial integrity and trust.

Some of the links on Viral Rang are affiliate links. This means if you click on one of these special links and then make a purchase, we may earn a small commission or referral fee at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are a common way for online publishers to earn revenue by referring readers to products or services. They contain a tracking code so that the merchant (the company selling the product or service) knows that Viral Rang sent you.

For example, if we link to a book on Amazon with an affiliate link and you buy that book, Amazon will pay us a small percentage of the sale as a commission. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the website. The commission comes out of the merchant’s side, not yours.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

Viral Rang participates in several affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:

  • Amazon Associates: Viral Rang is an Amazon Associate, which means we earn from qualifying purchases on Amazon.com that originate from our affiliate links. You may see links to various products on Amazon in our articles.
  • Other Affiliate Programs: We might also partner with other companies or networks that are relevant to our content. These could include affiliate programs for products in categories like technology, travel, health, finance, etc., when we recommend a product or service. We only join programs for products or services we find credible.

We will generally disclose in the context of an article if it contains affiliate links (often with a note at the top or within the content). Additionally, any page on our Site that is primarily about a product or service might include a reminder that we have affiliate partnerships.

Running a high-quality website like Viral Rang requires resources – time, money, and effort. Affiliate links help us monetize our content in a way that is relatively non-intrusive. Here’s how affiliate partnerships benefit the site and you as a reader:

  • Funding Our Site: The commissions earned through affiliate links provide revenue that helps us cover the costs of running the Site (web hosting, content creation, staff, etc.). This helps keep our content free to access for all readers. In essence, when you make a purchase through an affiliate link, you’re indirectly supporting Viral Rang.
  • Enhanced Content: Because affiliate programs reward us for successful referrals, we have an incentive to research and recommend great products that align with our content. We often choose to write product reviews, “best of” lists, or how-to guides that include product suggestions. The goal is to bring you valuable recommendations while also having an opportunity to earn commissions.
  • Relevant Recommendations: We carefully select affiliate products or services that we believe will be relevant and useful to our audience. We don’t just link anything – we strive to integrate affiliate links where they make sense and where we’d be genuinely comfortable recommending the product even without an affiliate program.

Commitment to Editorial Integrity

We understand that trust is paramount. Here is our commitment to maintaining transparency and integrity despite the presence of affiliate links:

  • Honest Opinions: The existence of an affiliate partnership does not influence our opinions or reviews of products. If we list pros and cons or provide a critical take on a product, that reflects our genuine assessment. Our editorial content is driven by what we think will benefit our readers, not by whether a product has an affiliate program.
  • No Influence on Content Selection: We do not decide what topics to cover or what products to feature solely based on affiliate opportunities. In fact, we cover many topics that have no affiliate links at all. Where affiliate links are included, it’s because they naturally fit the content and we believe the referenced product/service is worth mentioning.
  • FTC Compliance: The U.S. Federal Trade Commission requires that we disclose clearly and conspicuously whenever our content contains affiliate links or any form of compensation. We take this seriously. You will often find a disclaimer at the top of articles or near the affiliate links indicating our potential compensation. For example, a sentence like: “This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.” We make these disclosures visible so that you are informed.
  • Our Recommendations Are Genuine: We only recommend products and services that we would use ourselves or suggest to friends and family. If a product has issues or we don’t think it’s good, we either won’t recommend it, or we will clearly highlight the downsides. Our reputation with you, the reader, is more important than any single commission.

Responsibility for Purchases

When you click an affiliate link on Viral Rang, you will be redirected to a third-party merchant’s site (for example, Amazon or another online store) to complete your purchase. Any purchase you make is solely between you and that third-party company. We do not see your payment information, we don’t handle shipping or customer service for those products, and we have no control over the transaction.

This means:

  • If you have any issues with an order (like a defective product, shipping delays, returns or refunds), you will need to contact the merchant or seller directly. For example, if you bought an item on Amazon and need a return, you’d contact Amazon customer service.
  • We are not responsible for the quality or performance of products or services you buy through affiliate links. We try to recommend reputable items, but we can’t guarantee your experience with the third-party product. Any product warranty or guarantee is provided by the manufacturer or seller, not by Viral Rang.
  • Any information you submit at the merchant’s site (such as your address or credit card number) will be governed by that site’s privacy policy and terms, not ours. Be sure to review their policies if you have concerns.

Affiliate links on Viral Rang may appear in various forms, including:

  • Within Articles/Blog Posts: We might hyperlink text to recommend a product (e.g., “check price on Amazon” links) or have a “buy now” button.
  • Product Lists or Reviews: If we do a product roundup (like “Top 10 Gadgets for Travelers”), each item listed might have an affiliate link to where you can purchase it.
  • Banner Ads or Widgets: Occasionally, we may display banner advertisements or interactive widgets provided by affiliate programs. These will also earn commission if clicked and lead to a sale.
  • Newsletters or Emails: If you subscribe to any Viral Rang newsletters, we might include affiliate links in the content we email to you (and we will disclose in the email if we do).

No matter where they appear, the principle is the same: clicking these links and making a purchase may result in us earning a commission.

Affiliate Cookies

When you click an affiliate link, a cookie (small text file) is typically set on your browser by the affiliate program to track the referral. This cookie usually lasts for a certain duration (e.g., 24 hours for Amazon, or longer for others). If you complete a purchase within that window, the cookie lets the merchant know Viral Rang should be credited for the referral. If you clear your cookies or wait too long, the referral might not be tracked. Just an FYI on how that works behind the scenes.

Your privacy is important to us, and while we do benefit from these cookies, we don’t have access to the information in them beyond what the affiliate program reports (which is typically just that a purchase was made, the product name, and commission amount – we do not see your personal details).

For more details on cookies, please see our Cookies Policy.
