U.S. FTC required Affiliate Disclosure (theBlogMan.com)
United States (FTC Disclosure)
Last updated: January 2, 2026
theBlogMan.com is reader-supported. Some links on this website are affiliate links. This means if you click a link and make a purchase or sign up for a service, I may earn a commission. You do not pay more by using my affiliate links.
To keep things clear: I may be compensated for recommendations on this site.
Affiliate programs we participate in
theBlogMan.com participates in affiliate programs, including (but not limited to):
- RightBlogger Affiliate Program (https://rightblogger.com)
- Wealthy Affiliate Affiliate Program (https://wealthyaffiliate.com)
These programs allow website owners to earn referral commissions by linking to products and services.
How affiliate links work
When you click an affiliate link on theBlogMan.com, the link may route you through a tracking URL provided by the affiliate program. That tracking tells the company that you came from theBlogMan.com, so they can properly credit any qualifying purchase or signup.
Cookies and anonymous tracking
Affiliate programs commonly use cookies (small text files stored by your web browser) to help track referrals.
Here is the basic flow:
- You click an affiliate link on theBlogMan.com.
- The affiliate program or the vendor may place a cookie in your browser.
- If you later buy something or sign up within the program’s tracking period, the purchase may be credited to my affiliate account.
About privacy and “anonymous” tracking:
- The cookie usually contains a referral ID (for example, an ID tied to my affiliate account) and sometimes a timestamp.
- The cookie does not give me access to your personal information (such as your name, email, address, or payment details).
- I typically only see reporting like “a sale happened” or “a signup happened,” not who you are.
- Cookie duration (how long the referral lasts) varies by program and can change at any time.
How commissions work
If a purchase or signup is attributed to my affiliate link, I may receive a commission from the company at no extra cost to you. Commission terms vary by program and may include:
- A flat fee per qualifying signup or sale
- A percentage of a purchase
- In some cases, recurring commissions for subscriptions (if offered by the program)
The final commission decision is made by the affiliate program or vendor under their rules (for example, qualification requirements, returns, cancellations, and fraud checks).
No display ads
At this time, theBlogMan.com does not run display ads (for example, AdSense or network ads). The primary way this site may earn revenue is through affiliate commissions and any products or services we may offer directly.
Editorial independence
I aim to recommend tools and services that I believe are helpful. Affiliate partnerships do not control what I publish, and my opinions are my own. You should always do your own research before buying, and you should review the official terms and policies of any product or service you purchase.
Your choices (cookie controls)
You can manage cookies in your browser settings. You can delete cookies, block them, or use private browsing modes. If you block cookies, affiliate tracking may not work, and I may not receive credit for a referral.
