Affiliate Disclaimer

1. FTC Compliance Statement

In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, expired.biz discloses that some of the links on this website are affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click through and make a purchase at no additional cost to you.

2. What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are unique tracking URLs that allow vendors to identify traffic and sales referred from expired.biz. When you click an affiliate link and complete a purchase, the vendor pays us a small commission (typically 5–30% of the sale price).

How Affiliate Links Work

• You click a link: When you click an affiliate link on our site, a cookie is stored in your browser
• You make a purchase: If you purchase within the cookie window (typically 30–90 days), the sale is tracked
• We earn a commission: The vendor pays us a percentage of the sale as a referral fee
• No extra cost to you: The price you pay is identical to the regular price (and often lower if we have exclusive discounts)

3. Affiliate Relationships

expired.biz maintains affiliate relationships with the following categories of services and tools commonly referenced in our content:

This list is not exhaustive and may be updated as we form new partnerships or discontinue existing ones. Not all links to these services are affiliate links — some may be direct links for informational purposes.

4. Editorial Objectivity & Independence

While we earn commissions from affiliate links, our recommendations are based on genuine research, hands-on experience, and objective analysis. Here's how we maintain editorial integrity:

Our Editorial Standards

• Honest reviews: We provide balanced assessments, including both strengths and weaknesses of tools and services
• No pay-to-play: Companies cannot pay for positive reviews or higher rankings in our comparisons
• Actual usage: We test and use the tools we recommend whenever possible
• Alternative recommendations: We often suggest multiple options, including non-affiliated alternatives if they're superior
• Critical analysis: We won't recommend a tool solely because it has a high commission rate

5. How Affiliate Commissions Work

Different affiliate programs have different commission structures. Here's a general breakdown:

• Percentage-based commissions: We earn a percentage of the sale price (e.g., 20% of a $99/month subscription = $19.80 per month, typically for the first payment only)
• Flat-rate commissions: We earn a fixed amount per sale regardless of purchase value (e.g., $50 per signup)
• Recurring commissions: Some programs pay monthly as long as the customer remains subscribed (rare in our niche)
• Tiered commissions: Higher referral volumes may increase commission rates

Commission rates typically range from 5% to 30% depending on the vendor and product category. Higher-priced tools (like Ahrefs or Majestic) usually have lower percentages, while lower-priced services may offer higher percentages.

6. Transparency in Content

We believe in clear and conspicuous disclosure of affiliate relationships. You'll see disclosures in the following locations:

• At the top of articles: Where applicable, we include a brief affiliate disclosure statement
• Near affiliate links: Inline disclosures such as (affiliate link) or visual indicators
• In comparison tables: Notes indicating which services are affiliated
• This disclaimer page: A comprehensive overview of all affiliate relationships

7. No Extra Cost to You

Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. In many cases, we negotiate exclusive discounts or extended trial periods that save you money:

• You pay the same price (or less) as going directly to the vendor
• We often secure special deals for expired.biz readers
• You support our work at no additional cost, allowing us to continue creating free, high-quality content

8. Non-Affiliate Recommendations

Not all tools and services we recommend are affiliated. In many cases, we recommend resources that don't offer affiliate programs simply because they're the best option for the job. Examples include:

• Archive.org (Wayback Machine) — Free, no affiliate program
• Google Search Console — Free, no affiliate program
• Various free domain research tools and databases

If a superior non-affiliated alternative exists, we will mention it alongside or instead of affiliated options.

9. Alternative Non-Affiliate Links

If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you can access any service directly by typing the company name into your browser. You'll receive the same product at the same price, but we won't receive a commission for the referral.

We respect your choice and appreciate your consideration either way. If you've found our content helpful and choose to use our affiliate links, thank you for supporting our work.

10. Your Support Enables Free Content

Affiliate commissions help fund the operation of expired.biz, including:

• Research and testing of new tools, services, and strategies
• Hosting, security, and technical infrastructure
• Time spent creating in-depth guides, tutorials, and reviews
• Keeping all content free and accessible without paywalls or subscriptions

By using our affiliate links when making purchases you were already planning to make, you directly support our ability to continue producing high-quality, fluff-free content.

11. Product and Service Changes

Third-party products and services evolve over time. Pricing, features, and policies may change after we publish a review or recommendation. We strive to keep our content up-to-date, but we cannot guarantee that all information remains current.

Always verify pricing, features, and terms directly with the vendor before making a purchase.

12. No Guarantee of Results

While we recommend tools and strategies based on research and experience, we cannot guarantee specific results. Success with expired domains, SEO, and online marketing depends on many factors including:

• Your industry, niche, and competition
• The quality of domains you acquire
• Your execution, consistency, and strategy
• Algorithm changes, market shifts, and external factors

Using a tool or service we recommend does not guarantee success. Always conduct your own due diligence and consider your specific circumstances before making purchasing decisions.

13. Updates to This Disclaimer

We may update this Affiliate Disclaimer from time to time to reflect changes in our affiliate partnerships, policies, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
