About Affiliate News Review
A free educational resource built for affiliate marketers — explaining disclosure, privacy, SEO, and legal compliance across the US, UK, EU, Canada, and Australia.
Affiliate News Review is a free educational resource built for affiliate marketers. Whether you run a review blog, publish on social platforms, operate a comparison site, send a newsletter, or manage an affiliate program, this site exists to help you understand and meet the rules that govern your work — clearly, accurately, and without the jargon.
Affiliate marketing is a legitimate and valuable business model, but it operates inside a web of disclosure rules, data-privacy obligations, search-engine requirements, and legal considerations that span multiple countries and, within the United States, multiple states. Most affiliates never receive clear guidance on any of it. This resource gathers that guidance in one place and explains it in plain English, so you can protect your business, your audience’s trust, and your income.
Who this is for
- Bloggers and content publishers who monetize with affiliate links.
- Influencers and creators across social platforms.
- Review, coupon, and comparison site operators.
- Email and podcast publishers running affiliate offers.
- Brands and networks responsible for their affiliates’ compliance.
- Anyone advising affiliates — agencies, consultants, and attorneys.
What makes this resource different
Most affiliate compliance content stops at “add a disclosure.” This resource goes further. It explains why each rule exists, how it works in practice, what regulators have actually said and done, and how the obligations differ across the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, Canada, and Australia. It treats disclosure, data privacy, search-engine attribution, trademark, and tax as parts of a single compliance picture, because for a working affiliate they are.
How the site is organized
The material moves from foundations to specifics: core concepts, the deep US/FTC section, the international rules, data privacy, SEO and technical practice, legal and business issues, and practical checklists and templates. New readers should start with how to use this site.
