Affiliate Disclosure
Full transparency about our partnerships and how we earn revenue.
Our Business Model
SEO Marketing Specialists is an affiliate marketing website. We earn commissions when you purchase products or services through links on our site. This does not affect the price you pay — our commissions come from the vendors, not from you.
Julian Goldie SEO Backlink Portal
Our primary affiliate partnership is with Julian Goldie SEO and their Backlink Portal service. When you purchase backlink packages through our portal link, we receive a commission on that sale.
Key Points:
- We use this tool on our own rank-and-rent sites
- Our recommendation is based on real-world testing and results
- You pay the same price whether you use our link or go direct
- We only recommend tools we have personally used and verified
Why We Disclose
We believe in full transparency. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that we disclose any material connection between ourselves and any products or services we recommend. We go beyond the minimum requirements because trust is the foundation of our operator community.
How This Affects Our Content
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We write about SEO tactics, market analysis, and ranking infrastructure based on our own experience as operators. If a tool or service falls short, we say so — regardless of whether we earn a commission from it.
For more details on how we create content, see our Editorial Policy.
