Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated April 2026. Required reading for FTC compliance and for being a decent human.
The short version
Most links on this site that point to products, services, or experience bookings are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase or booking, we receive a small commission from the merchant. You pay exactly the same price — the commission comes out of the merchant's marketing budget, not your wallet.
Networks we participate in
- Impact — iFlyWorld, Viator, Cloud 9 Living, and other experience brands.
- Flex Offers — additional travel and lifestyle brands.
- Commission Junction (CJ) — major retailers and travel partners.
- Awin — international and specialty brands.
- Fintel Connect — financial products, used sparingly when on-topic.
- Amazon Associates — for gear mentions and book recommendations.
How to identify affiliate links
Every blog post with affiliate links carries a visible disclosure banner at the top. Individual
affiliate links are tagged with rel="sponsored" per Google's webmaster guidelines.
Branded short links like northvilletech.co/ifly redirect through our affiliate
tracking — they're still affiliate links, even though they wear our domain.
Editorial independence
Our recommendations are our own. No brand pays us for positive coverage. We don't accept free experiences in exchange for reviews (if we ever do accept press access, we'll say so clearly in the post). If we wouldn't recommend something to a friend, we won't recommend it here — even if the commission is attractive.
What we do with affiliate revenue
We use it to pay for the experiences we review. That is the entire economic model: click an affiliate link, we earn enough to go try the next thing, write about it, repeat. No ads, no sponsored posts, no brand deals mid-video.
