Monetization disclosure
The AI Finance Guide is being rebuilt as a practical AI tools, project, and resource site. Revenue may eventually come from AdSense, clearly disclosed affiliate links, digital templates, or sponsorships — but monetization should not override usefulness, accuracy, or reader trust.
Current status
Tool pages currently use official/product links and pricing links for reader verification. No active affiliate relationship is claimed unless a specific page says otherwise. If that changes, the affected page must disclose it before the monetized link.
Rules for affiliate links
- • Affiliate links must be labeled clearly near the link or recommendation.
- • Recommendations must include caveats, alternatives, and a last-checked date where pricing/tool details matter.
- • The site should not claim a tool is best for everyone.
- • Affiliate status must not be hidden behind button text or a generic “recommended” label.
- • Tools should be evaluated by workflow fit, limitations, and cost per finished result — not commission potential.
Rules for ads and sponsorships
- • Ads should not crowd out the main content or mislead users into clicking.
- • Sponsored content must be labeled as sponsored.
- • Sponsored placement should not be presented as independent testing unless the page explains the evaluation criteria.
- • No ad or sponsor claim should promise income, approval, rankings, or business results.
Rules for digital resources
Free resources remain accessible without fake scarcity or forced signup. Paid templates or products may be added later only if they provide practical value and are clearly labeled as paid.
Reader-first standard
A page should still be useful if the reader never clicks an ad, never buys a tool, and never joins a newsletter. If monetization makes the content less honest or less useful, it does not belong on the site.
