To provide these resources free of charge, we participate in affiliate marketing programs that help support our operations while maintaining our independence and integrity.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

  • No Additional Cost: You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the merchant
  • Commission Range: Typically 1-10% of the purchase price, depending on the product or service
  • Support Our Mission: These commissions help us maintain free resources for veterans
  • Your Choice: Using affiliate links is completely optional and doesn't affect the information we provide

Our Commitment to Veterans

Editorial Independence

Our educational content about VA benefits, claims processes, and veteran resources is never influenced by affiliate relationships. We provide honest, accurate information based on VA regulations and veteran experiences.

Veteran-First Recommendations

We only recommend products and services that we believe genuinely benefit veterans. If we wouldn't recommend it to our own family members who served, we won't recommend it to you.

Transparent Disclosure

We clearly identify affiliate links and sponsored content. You'll always know when we may receive compensation for a recommendation.

Important: We never receive compensation for recommending specific VSOs, VA services, or official government resources. Our VSO directory and VA benefit information are provided as free public services.

In addition to affiliate marketing, our website may include:

  • Google AdSense: Contextual advertisements that may be targeted based on content and user interests
  • Sponsored Posts: Clearly labeled content created in partnership with veteran-focused organizations
  • Banner Advertisements: Display ads from companies serving the veteran community
  • Newsletter Sponsorships: Sponsored content in our veteran resource newsletters (if applicable)

Ad Policy: We maintain strict standards for advertisements on our site. Ads must be relevant to veterans, comply with FTC guidelines, and cannot make false claims about VA benefits or services.

What We Don't Do

To maintain trust with our veteran community, we do not:

  • Sell Personal Information: We never sell veteran contact information or personal data
  • Promote Scams: We actively avoid companies that prey on veterans or make unrealistic promises
  • Influence VA Content: Our educational content about VA benefits is never influenced by commercial interests
  • Hide Relationships: All affiliate relationships and sponsored content are clearly disclosed

  • Provide Feedback: Let us know if you have concerns about any products or services we recommend
  • Opt Out: Use ad blockers or adjust browser settings to limit advertising

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We are committed to honest, transparent marketing practices that serve the veteran community's best interests.
