How product references, recommendations, and affiliate relationships are handled on KeepersNook.

How we earn revenue and why it does not affect our recommendations

KeepersNook participates in affiliate programs, which means we may earn a small commission when you purchase products through links on our site. This comes at no extra cost to you.

How We Choose Products

We only recommend products we believe provide genuine value to pet keepers:

  • Research quality — does the product align with veterinary and scientific best practices?
  • Keeper experience — have we or trusted keepers used this product successfully?
  • Value for money — does it deliver results at a fair price point?
  • Availability — can most readers actually purchase it?

Our commitment: We never recommend a product because it pays a higher commission. If a better product exists with no affiliate program, we recommend it anyway. Editorial independence comes first.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

  • Amazon Associates — aquarium equipment, poultry supplies, pet food
  • Specialty retailers — pet equipment manufacturers and niche stores

How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links look and function like normal links. When you click one and make a purchase, we receive a small percentage of the sale. You pay the same price regardless of whether you use our link.

Questions

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, contact us.

COMMERCIAL CLARITY

Affiliate pages should explain the commercial boundary clearly

Readers should understand where affiliate relationships can exist, how recommendations are constrained, and why welfare judgments are not for sale.

References are not automatic endorsements

A product mention or category comparison should not be framed as a blanket recommendation.

Disclosure should stay readable

Commercial transparency needs to be visible and plain-language, not buried where readers will miss it.

Welfare outranks monetization

If an affiliate opportunity conflicts with animal suitability or safety, the recommendation standard should win.

Editorial independence

This page should reassure readers that site standards and judgment still govern the final call.
