Monetization Policy
How PrimeBiome Earns Revenue and How We Keep It Separate from Our Editorial Judgment
PrimeBiome publishes educational content about gut health, digestive wellness, the gut microbiome, and dietary supplements. Producing and maintaining this content takes time and resources. This Monetization Policy explains, in plain language, how this website makes money, what that means for you, and the safeguards we apply so that commercial interests do not compromise accuracy or honesty.
To learn more about who we are and our mission, please visit our About Us page.
1. Summary: What You Need to Know
- PrimeBiome is an affiliate publisher. We are not the manufacturer, distributor, or seller of any product featured on this site.
- When you click certain links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the seller at no additional cost to you.
- This creates a financial incentive for us to feature and recommend products, and you should read our content with that in mind.
- We do not fabricate testimonials, invent results, or make disease claims in exchange for compensation.
- Our editorial standards are set out in our Editorial Policy.
2. Our Revenue Model
2.1 Affiliate Commissions
Our primary source of revenue is affiliate marketing. Here is how it works:
- We publish content that may include links to products, such as PrimeBiome, sold by third-party companies.
- These links contain unique tracking identifiers.
- If you click a link and complete a purchase, the seller or an affiliate network may pay us a commission.
- The price you pay is the same whether or not you use our link.
Commissions are typically a percentage of the sale. They may be paid only when a qualifying purchase is completed, which means we have a direct financial interest in readers buying the products we feature.
2.2 Affiliate Networks and Tracking
Affiliate links may be managed through third-party affiliate networks or platforms. These parties may use cookies or similar technologies to track clicks and purchases so commissions can be attributed correctly. For details on what data is collected and how it is used, please read our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
2.3 Other Possible Revenue Sources
At present, our revenue comes from affiliate commissions. If we introduce other revenue sources in the future, such as display advertising, sponsored content, or direct partnerships, we will update this policy and clearly label that content.
3. Material Connection Disclosure
A “material connection” is a relationship between a publisher and a company that could affect how readers weigh a recommendation, such as receiving commissions, free products, or payments. Under U.S. law, these connections must be disclosed clearly and conspicuously.
We aim to follow the guidance in:
- The FTC’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255)
- The FTC’s Endorsement Guides: What People Are Asking
- The FTC’s Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers
- The FTC’s rule on consumer reviews and testimonials (16 CFR Part 465)
Where You Will See Disclosures
We aim to place clear disclosures:
- Near affiliate links and calls to action, not hidden in footers or buried in long text
- At the top of pages or articles that contain affiliate links or promotional content
- In plain language, for example: “We may earn a commission if you purchase through links on this page, at no extra cost to you.”
4. Editorial Independence
We separate our commercial relationships from our editorial standards, but we want to be honest about the limits of that separation.
What We Commit To
- Accuracy comes first. We do not make claims we cannot support in order to increase sales. Our standards for sourcing and verification are described in our Editorial Policy.
- No fabricated proof. We do not create fake reviews, testimonials, clinical results, expert endorsements, or before-and-after stories.
- Safety language is not optional. Cautionary guidance and health disclaimers appear regardless of their effect on sales.
- Manufacturers and sellers do not control our conclusions. Information taken from a manufacturer is attributed to that manufacturer.
- Transparency about corrections. If we find that something we published is inaccurate, we correct it under our Corrections Policy, regardless of commercial impact.
What We Do Not Claim
- We are not neutral. We earn money when readers purchase featured products, so we do not claim to be a disinterested reviewer.
- We do not review every product on the market. We feature products that we have chosen to cover, and those choices may be influenced by commission availability.
- We do not guarantee that the products we feature are right for you. Only you and a qualified healthcare professional can decide that.
5. Product Information and Claims
When we describe a product such as PrimeBiome, we attribute statements about its ingredients, intended use, pricing, and guarantees to the manufacturer or seller. Unless we clearly say otherwise, we have not independently tested the product or verified the manufacturer’s claims.
Health-related claims are held to the standards described in the FTC’s Health Products Compliance Guidance, which requires that claims be truthful, not misleading, and supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence. For background on how supplement claims are regulated, see the FDA’s page on structure/function claims.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Products mentioned on this website are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Individual results vary. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any dietary supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, managing a health condition, or under 18.
6. Purchases, Refunds, and Customer Support
Because we are not the seller:
- Orders are processed by the seller, not by PrimeBiome.
- Pricing, availability, shipping, guarantees, and refund terms are set by the seller and may change at any time. Always review the terms on the seller’s official website before purchasing.
- We cannot process refunds, cancellations, or order changes. Please contact the seller directly using the contact information on their website or in your order confirmation.
- We do not control the seller’s website, privacy practices, or marketing. When you leave our site, the seller’s own policies apply.
If you believe information on our site about a product is out of date or inaccurate, please tell us through our Contact Us page.
7. No Paid Placements Disguised as Editorial Content
We do not present paid placements, sponsored posts, or advertising as independent editorial content. If we ever publish sponsored or paid content, we will label it clearly as such, consistent with the FTC’s guidance on native advertising.
8. Use of Artificial Intelligence and Monetization
Content that promotes products is subject to the same standards regardless of how it is produced. We do not use AI to fabricate reviews, personas, or persuasive claims we cannot support. See our Artificial Intelligence Use Policy for details.
9. International Readers
PrimeBiome is written for English-speaking readers in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Affiliate disclosure and advertising rules vary by country. You can learn more from:
- United Kingdom: the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)
- Canada: the Competition Bureau Canada
- Australia: the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)
- New Zealand: the New Zealand Commerce Commission
Supplement availability, permitted ingredients, and approved claims also differ by country. Please verify locally and speak with a local healthcare professional.
10. Your Privacy
When you click an affiliate link, the seller or affiliate network may collect information about your visit. We explain how we handle personal data, and your rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and, where applicable, the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), in our Privacy Policy. Information about cookies and tracking technologies is in our Cookie Policy.
11. Feedback About Our Disclosures
If you believe a disclosure on this website is unclear, missing, or poorly placed, we want to know. Please review our Feedback Policy and contact us through our Contact Us page. U.S. consumers may also report concerns to the FTC.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Monetization Policy as our business, partnerships, or applicable regulations change. The “Last updated” date below shows the most recent revision. Your use of this website is also governed by our Terms of Use.
