Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: November 7, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At DIYDalias, we believe in being completely transparent with our readers about how we earn revenue to support this website and continue creating free, valuable content for the DIY and gardening community.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a small commission when you make a purchase through them. When you click on an affiliate link and buy a product, the retailer pays us a percentage of the sale at no additional cost to you. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website.

Affiliate Programs We Participate In

DIYDalias is a participant in several affiliate programs, including:

Amazon Associates Program

DIYDalias is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.

This means when you click on Amazon product links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. This helps us cover the costs of running this website, purchasing materials for testing products, and creating free content.

Other Affiliate Programs

In addition to Amazon Associates, we may also participate in affiliate programs with:

ShareASale
CJ Affiliate
Other gardening and DIY-related affiliate networks

How We Choose Products to Recommend

Our Promise to You:

We take our recommendations seriously and follow strict guidelines:

Personal Experience: We only recommend products that:
- We have personally used in our own DIY projects and gardens, OR
- We have thoroughly researched and believe will provide value to our readers
- Align with our commitment to quality and value
Honest Opinions: Our opinions are always our own and completely honest. We will not recommend a product simply because it offers a higher commission. If we don’t believe a product is worth your money, we won’t recommend it—regardless of the commission structure.
Editorial Independence: Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, reviews, or recommendations. We maintain complete editorial independence and will provide honest assessments of products, including their drawbacks when applicable.
Quality Over Profit: We prioritize recommending products that will genuinely help you succeed with your DIY projects, even if that means recommending lower-priced alternatives or suggesting you use items you already have at home.

How Affiliate Links Are Disclosed

To maintain transparency, we clearly disclose affiliate relationships in the following ways:

In-Article Disclosures

At the beginning of articles containing affiliate links, you’ll see a disclosure that reads:

“This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.”

Individual Link Identification

Affiliate links in our content may be identified by:

Special formatting or icons (when applicable)
Context clues indicating product recommendations
Clear disclosure language near groups of product links

FTC Compliance

We comply fully with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on affiliate disclosures. Our goal is to ensure you always know when a link may result in a commission for us.

What This Means for You

No Extra Cost

Using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you went directly to the retailer’s website. Sometimes, we may even be able to share exclusive discount codes that save you money.

Your Choice

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer to search for products independently or purchase from other retailers, we completely understand. Our content is designed to be helpful regardless of where you choose to shop.

Google AdSense

In addition to affiliate marketing, DIYDalias also displays advertisements through Google AdSense. These ads help us generate revenue to support the site. You can learn more about how Google uses data in our Privacy Policy.
