Affiliate Disclosure

How Namibia Plus should handle future paid links while keeping planning advice independent and clear.

Plain-language disclosure

Commercial links may come later, but they should be obvious

Namibia Plus is currently an independent planning resource, not a booking engine. In the future, some pages may include affiliate links, referral links, or sponsored placements.

If a link can earn money for Namibia Plus, the page should say so near the link. The reader should not need to inspect the URL, terms page, or footer to understand that a commercial relationship may exist.

How future affiliate links should work

Some future links may earn commission

Namibia Plus may later earn referral fees from car rental, lodging, safari, insurance, eSIM, or booking partners when a reader clicks a marked link and purchases.

Disclosure must appear before the click

Paid links should be labelled near the recommendation, not hidden only in sitewide legal text. Readers should know when a commercial relationship may exist.

Criteria come before commission

Comparison pages should explain why an option is useful, what it excludes, and who it suits. Commission should not be the reason a partner appears.

What commercial relationships should not change

  • Official visa, advisory, safety, and health guidance should not contain affiliate incentives.
  • A partner can be removed when terms, support, or disclosure quality stops meeting the page criteria.
  • Sponsored placements should be labelled separately from editorial recommendations.
  • Reader feedback, recent reviews, and policy changes should be able to override a commercial relationship.

Disclosure reference

Disclosure rules vary by jurisdiction and platform. Namibia Plus should follow applicable law and use clear, conspicuous disclosure language for paid endorsements or affiliate relationships.
