Frequently asked questions
What is an affiliate link?
An affiliate link contains tracking information that may credit Pool Equipment Guide when a reader makes a qualifying purchase. The reader generally does not pay an added fee because of that tracking.
Do affiliate commissions affect rankings?
Commission potential should not replace the editorial criteria used to explain compatibility, sizing, maintenance, or value. Pages should remain useful even when a reader does not purchase through a link.
Are all links affiliate links?
No. Some links may be ordinary internal navigation or references. Commercial buttons and product links may use affiliate tracking when an approved program is available.
Does a link guarantee price or availability?
No. Prices, inventory, seller terms, warranties, and shipping can change. Readers should verify current details on the retailer or manufacturer website before purchasing.
Does Pool Equipment Guide sell the products?
Unless explicitly stated, Pool Equipment Guide is not the seller, manufacturer, installer, or warranty provider. Purchases are completed with the third-party merchant.
How are sponsored placements handled?
Any paid placement or sponsored relationship should be labeled clearly so readers can distinguish it from ordinary editorial content.
Why is the disclosure near commercial content?
A disclosure is most useful when readers can notice and understand the relationship before acting on a recommendation or affiliate link.
