Effective Date: May 14, 2026
Last Updated: May 14, 2026

Transparency is one of our core values. This Affiliate Disclosure explains the relationships behind some of the links on The Synaptic Post.

1. What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that allow us to earn a small commission when you click them and make a purchase. This comes at no extra cost to you — you pay the same price as you would by going to the website directly.

2. Which Programs We Participate In

The Synaptic Post is a participant in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to:

  • Amazon Services LLC Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
  • AI tool affiliate programs — including but not limited to OpenAI, Anthropic, ChatGPT Plus, Claude Pro, Midjourney, ElevenLabs, and similar AI tool providers (when available).
  • Hosting & domain affiliate programs — including Hostinger, Bluehost, SiteGround, Namecheap, Porkbun, and similar services.
  • Software & SaaS affiliate programs — for productivity tools, education platforms, and other software we genuinely recommend.

3. Our Editorial Integrity

We want to be 100% clear: affiliate commissions do not influence our content.

  • We only recommend products and services we have personally tested or thoroughly researched.
  • Our reviews are based on real testing, not on commission size.
  • We will recommend free or competitor alternatives when they are genuinely better.
  • If a product is bad, we will say so — regardless of any affiliate relationship.

4. How to Identify Affiliate Links

Affiliate links may appear in:

  • Article reviews and comparisons
  • "Best of" lists
  • Tutorial and tool recommendations
  • Sponsored content (clearly labeled)

While we do not always mark each individual link, the existence of this disclosure complies with FTC guidelines (16 CFR § 255).

5. FTC Compliance

This disclosure complies with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We make these disclosures to inform readers about our relationships with brands and products.

6. Amazon Associates Specific Disclosure
