Use only product images, promotional copy, logos, prices, and tracking links supplied or expressly approved through the verified BestQool affiliate resource. Before publishing, confirm that the asset, destination link, and promotion terms are current; add a clear affiliate disclosure; and pause for clarification if an image, offer, or intended edit is not covered by the available instructions.
Start with the Verified Affiliate Resource
Your approved affiliate resource is the place to look for current promotional materials and tracking links. If it provides downloadable creative, link-generation tools, campaign details, or product information, use those materials rather than copying content from other pages.
Before publishing a product image, banner, logo, or text link, check that it is current and intended for your planned placement. This matters especially when updating a comparison page, sending an email, or publishing around a sale: prices, availability, discount terms, and campaign creative can change.
Treat the following as separate checks:
- Creative: Is the image, logo, banner, or copy supplied or expressly approved for affiliate use?
- Link: Is the destination link generated or approved through the authorized affiliate system, and does it work?
- Offer: Are the price, promotion, exclusions, and availability still live?
- Placement: Does the asset approval cover the channel where you plan to use it?
If a needed item is not available in your approved resource---such as a lifestyle image, comparison graphic, launch material, or promotion clarification---request approval before substituting another asset.
Use Creative Without Changing Its Meaning
Brand-provided images and pre-written content can be useful affiliate materials, but they should not create a false impression that you personally used a product or had the experience shown. Endorsements must reflect genuine opinions and must not misrepresent personal experience, according to the FTC's endorsement guidance.
| Generally Publish Only When Approved | Pause Until You Have Written Permission |
|---|---|
| Product images, logos, copy, and links supplied through the approved BestQool resource | Images copied from a website or another publisher's content |
| Current sale creative and promotional language supplied for the campaign | Cropped, recolored, annotated, or otherwise modified product imagery |
| Your own genuine opinion, clearly separated from supplied brand copy | Testimonial-style captions or imagery that suggests personal use you cannot truthfully represent |
| A brand name used to identify the product being discussed | Logo use or page design that could imply BestQool sponsors, operates, or endorses your channel |
Do not assume that access to an image also authorizes every edit, format, placement, or combination with your own creative. BestQool's current written asset instructions and permissions should control those decisions.
Keep promotional copy factual and within the approved materials. Do not add claims that are not supported by the advertiser's substantiation or present supplied creative as evidence of your own experience.
Recheck Time-Sensitive Buying Information
Affiliate content can remain visible long after an offer changes. Before publishing or refreshing a page, review the live product destination and the current campaign details.
A practical pre-publication check includes:
- Test every affiliate link and confirm it reaches the intended product or collection page.
- Confirm that prices, availability statements, coupon language, and promotion dates match the current official information.
- Replace expired banners, old product images, and outdated sales copy.
- Check that a discount code or promotion is still active before mentioning it.
- Revisit active content before major promotional periods and whenever you update a recommendation.
Avoid presenting a price, discount, or availability statement as permanent. If you cannot confirm that it is current, remove or revise it before publication.
Put the Affiliate Disclosure with the Endorsement
An affiliate or commission relationship is a material connection that should be disclosed clearly and conspicuously when it could affect how people evaluate an endorsement. The disclosure should be close to the recommendation or affiliate link---not buried in a profile, a distant disclaimer, or a collapsed section.
Use plain language that tells readers you may earn a commission from qualifying purchases. Follow any current BestQool disclosure requirements as well as applicable consumer-protection rules.
For channel-specific placement:
- Articles and comparison pages: Put the disclosure near the recommendation, affiliate links, or purchase callout.
- Social posts: Place it with the endorsement where viewers are unlikely to miss it.
- Image-based Stories or similar visual posts: Put the disclosure on the image and leave it visible long enough to read.
- Video: Include the disclosure within the video itself, rather than relying only on the description.
The FTC's social-media disclosure guidance emphasizes that disclosures should be hard to miss and appropriate to the format of the endorsement.
