Advertising Disclosure

Last updated: November 14, 2025

At Promo Link, we believe in complete transparency regarding our advertising relationships and monetization practices. This Advertising Disclosure explains how we generate revenue, our affiliate partnerships, and how sponsored content may appear on our platform.

We are committed to honest communication with our users and full compliance with Federal Trade Commission guidelines and advertising regulations. Our goal is to provide valuable cross-promotion services while maintaining integrity in all our business relationships.

Our Commitment to Transparency

Transparency is fundamental to our business philosophy. We want you to understand how we earn revenue and how this may influence the content and recommendations you see on our platform.

Honest Disclosure

We clearly identify all paid partnerships, sponsored content, and affiliate relationships.

User-First Approach

Our recommendations are based on quality and relevance, not solely on compensation.

Regulatory Compliance

We adhere to FTC guidelines and applicable advertising regulations.

Editorial Independence

We maintain editorial control over all content, ensuring objectivity and authenticity.

Affiliate Relationships and Partnerships

Affiliate Program Participation

Promo Link participates in various affiliate programs related to arcade game development, marketing tools, and gaming industry services. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or engage a service, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

These affiliate relationships include partnerships with:

  • • Game development tool providers and software platforms
  • • Analytics and marketing automation services
  • • Advertising networks and promotional platforms
  • • Industry conferences, events, and educational resources

Commission-Based Compensation

When we earn commissions through affiliate links, the amount varies depending on the partner and the nature of the transaction. These commissions may be based on:

  • ✓ A percentage of the purchase price or service fee
  • ✓ A fixed fee per conversion or sign-up
  • ✓ Recurring commissions for subscription-based services
  • ✓ Performance-based incentives tied to campaign success

These commissions help support our operations and allow us to continue providing valuable cross-promotion services to arcade game developers.

Product Recommendation Policies

While we may earn commissions from affiliate relationships, our recommendations are always based on genuine assessment and relevance to our audience. We commit to:

Honest Evaluations

We provide truthful opinions and assessments of products and services, highlighting both strengths and limitations.

Relevance Focus

We only recommend products and services that are genuinely relevant to arcade game developers and our industry.

Clear Identification

Affiliate links are clearly marked or disclosed in the content where they appear.

Financial Relationship Transparency

We maintain complete transparency about our financial relationships. If we have a material financial relationship with a partner or receive compensation for referring their services, we will clearly disclose this information to you. Your trust is more valuable to us than any commission.

Sponsored Content and Paid Promotions

Identification of Sponsored Content

Occasionally, we may publish content that is sponsored by or created in partnership with brands, game developers, or service providers. All sponsored content is clearly labeled with indicators such as:

  • • "Sponsored," "Paid Partnership," or "Advertisement" labels
  • • Disclosure statements at the beginning or end of articles
  • • Visual indicators distinguishing sponsored from editorial content

We never disguise sponsored content as independent editorial content. Transparency is paramount in all our communications.

Sponsored Post Labeling Policies

Our labeling practices comply with FTC guidelines and industry best practices:

Prominent Placement

Disclosure labels are placed prominently where they cannot be missed by readers.

Clear Language

We use straightforward terminology that clearly communicates the sponsored nature of content.

Consistent Standards

All sponsored content follows the same disclosure standards regardless of format or platform.

Pre-Publication Review

Every piece of sponsored content is reviewed to ensure proper disclosure before publication.

Brand Partnership Disclosures

We may enter into partnerships with arcade game developers, technology providers, and industry organizations. These partnerships may involve:

  • → Financial compensation for featuring their products or services
  • → Complimentary access to tools, services, or events for review purposes
  • → Co-marketing initiatives where we promote partner offerings
  • → Referral arrangements with mutual promotional benefits

All such relationships are disclosed in relevant content, and we maintain editorial independence in our coverage and recommendations.

Content Authenticity Guarantees

Even when content is sponsored, we retain full editorial control and creative freedom. Sponsors do not dictate our opinions, conclusions, or recommendations. We guarantee that all content, whether sponsored or not, reflects our genuine professional assessment and expertise.
