Yes, affiliate links should be disclosed on your site. It builds trust with your readers and also keeps you on the safe side legally. You don’t have to make it sound too serious or complicated. A simple sentence like “This page contains affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you buy through my link, at no extra cost to you” is enough. You can place this at the top or bottom of the page, or near the link. Most people actually appreciate the honesty. It shows you're being open with them. If your content is helpful and your recommendations are genuine, they usually won’t mind at all. In fact, some may be more likely to support you. What are your thoughts on this?
