Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At NJ Shore Guide, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This disclosure explains how we earn money through affiliate partnerships while maintaining our editorial independence.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on NJ Shore Guide are “affiliate links.” This means if you click on a link and make a purchase or booking, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
These commissions help us keep the site running, pay for hosting, and continue creating free, helpful content about the Jersey Shore.
Our Affiliate Partners
We partner with trusted travel and hospitality companies, including:
- Amazon Associates — Gear and equipment recommendations
- Booking.com — Hotel and accommodation bookings
- Vrbo — Vacation rental properties
- Viator / GetYourGuide — Tours and activities
- FishingBooker — Fishing charter bookings
Amazon Associates Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, NJ Shore Guide earns from qualifying purchases. Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed at the time of purchase will apply.
Editorial Independence
Our opinions are our own. Affiliate relationships do not influence our recommendations. We only recommend products, services, and businesses that we genuinely believe provide value to our readers.
We will never:
- Recommend a business solely because they offer a commission
- Hide negative aspects of a product or service to make a sale
- Let affiliate relationships change our honest assessments
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on our site are typically marked with:
- A disclosure statement near booking buttons or widgets
- The text “Sponsored” or “Partner Link” where applicable
- An external link icon (↗) indicating the link goes to a partner site
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
