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.
