This affiliate disclosure explains how ArsalanMasood.com earns money and how that’s kept separate from what’s recommended. In short: some links on this site are affiliate links, so if you buy through one, the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Some pages also show ads. No company can pay for a rating or a place in a list, and affiliate links never change a recommendation. Last updated 12 October 2026.

What an affiliate link is
An affiliate link is a link with a tracking code. When you click it and buy, or sometimes when you sign up for a trial, the company may pay this site a commission. The price you pay is the same as going to the company directly. On this site, most affiliate links start with arsalanmasood.com/go/, which makes them easy to spot, and buttons next to products are usually affiliate links too.
How this affiliate disclosure works on every page
- A note near the top of reviews, comparisons and deal pages says when a page contains affiliate links.
- Links are marked for search engines. Affiliate links carry rel=”sponsored”, the label Google asks sites to use for paid links.
- Deal pages show only real offers seen on the company’s own website, with the date they were checked. No made-up coupon codes.
- Owned companies are named. When I mention a company I founded, such as DigiFlippers or A Digital Motive, I say so.
How recommendations are made
Products are recommended because they fit the reader, not because of the commission. Reviews look at features, the first price and the renewal price, ease of use, support and the terms you agree to. Comparisons and “best” lists include strong options whether or not they have an affiliate programme. If a product isn’t worth it for most readers, the page says so, even when it would pay a commission. Ratings are set by me and never sold; readers can add their own ratings on reviews.
Advertising
Some pages show ads, for example from Google AdSense. Advertisers don’t choose what’s written, and ads are kept apart from deal and buy buttons, so they aren’t mistaken for recommendations. Sponsored articles, if any are ever published, are clearly labelled as sponsored at the top, and their links are marked as sponsored.
Why disclosure matters
Rules in many countries require online publishers to make clear when they have a financial relationship with a brand they mention. The US Federal Trade Commission, for example, expects endorsements to reflect honest opinions and any connection to be disclosed clearly and close to the recommendation. More importantly, readers deserve to know. A clear disclosure lets you decide how much weight to give a recommendation.
Free products and review access
Sometimes a company offers free access to a product so it can be reviewed. If a review is based on free access, the review says so. Free access never guarantees a review or a positive rating.
My own companies
I founded A Digital Motive, my agency (“Fastest and Most Scalable Digital Solutions”), and DigiFlippers, a marketplace for buying and selling websites and other digital assets. When they’re relevant, such as in guides on buying and selling websites, they’re listed alongside other options with a factual description and my ownership disclosed.
