Affiliate disclosure statement

Does Make A Porn Site earn commission from vendors it recommends?

Short version. Yes. Make A Porn Site (MAPS) participates in affiliate programs with adult-industry vendors. When you click through one of our links and sign up or buy a service, we may earn a commission. The commission comes out of the vendor's margin, not your price — you pay the same whether you use our link or go direct.

How we pick what to recommend. Editorial decisions about which vendors to cover and where they rank in our comparisons are made independently of whether the vendor has an affiliate program. The same six CMS options would appear on our adult CMS comparison page with or without affiliate revenue. Vendors with no affiliate program appear in our content because they are credible options operators should know about, and vendors with affiliate programs do not get a ranking boost for paying us — if they are not the best fit for a given use case, we say so.

What the FTC says. The Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) requires that any "material connection" between an endorser and a product be disclosed clearly. An affiliate commission is a material connection. This page is our site-wide disclosure of that connection; individual recommendations also use the rel="sponsored" link attribute on outbound affiliate links and include inline language such as "we may earn a commission" where appropriate.

What we do not do. We do not accept payment for positive reviews. We do not bury negative information about vendors with affiliate programs. We do not run sponsored content disguised as editorial. If a vendor asks us to remove a critical comment, we say no in writing and the comment stays.

Categories where affiliate programs exist. Adult-friendly hosting providers, adult CMS / script vendors, adult payment processors, adult affiliate networks, and adult ad networks. We currently participate in programs from a subset of these vendors and are expanding coverage as additional programs approve us. The presence of an affiliate program does not guarantee that a vendor will be recommended on a given page — the recommendation has to fit the use case first.

How we mark affiliate content

How can I tell which links on Make A Porn Site are affiliate links?

The rel="sponsored" attribute. Outbound links to vendors we have an affiliate relationship with carry the rel="sponsored" attribute in the HTML. This is the standard Google-recommended signal for affiliate links and is also the FTC-compliant technical mark. You can verify it on any link by right-clicking → Inspect Element.

Inline language. Where we recommend a vendor in running prose, we include disclosure language such as "we may earn a commission" or "affiliate link" on the same page, usually in proximity to the recommendation. On pages where the entire piece is a comparison or roundup (for example, our turnkey adult website comparison), the page-level disclosure at the top of the article covers all outbound vendor links on that page.

What about pages without any disclosure language? Pages that do not include affiliate-disclosure language do not contain affiliate links. The bulk of MAPS content is educational rather than promotional — our 2257 compliance guide, our DMCA explainer, our production-camera comparison — and those pages link to external resources for context, not for commission.

How long does the cookie last? Most adult affiliate programs use a 30-day or 60-day attribution cookie, set the first time you click through. If you click through one of our links and sign up two weeks later from a different device, the attribution may or may not survive depending on the vendor and whether you stayed logged in. We have no control over the vendor's cookie window and no visibility into whether an individual sign-up was attributed to us.

Can I opt out? Yes. If you do not want our affiliate attribution to apply to your sign-up, copy the vendor's URL out of our link, paste it into a fresh browser tab, and sign up directly. Your pricing is identical either way. We would still appreciate the click-through if the content was useful to you, but we will not lose sleep over the lost attribution.
