At NoeleneJenkinson.com, I believe complete transparency is essential, especially when it comes to how I earn income from this website. This disclosure explains my affiliate relationships in detail and how I maintain editorial independence despite these financial arrangements.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on NoeleneJenkinson.com are “affiliate links,” meaning if you click these links and subsequently make a purchase, I may receive a commission—typically between 5% and 50% of the sale price—at no additional cost to you. These commissions help support my work in personally purchasing and thoroughly testing every product I review.
How Affiliate Links Are Identified
On NoeleneJenkinson.com:
- Every review containing affiliate links includes a clear disclosure statement at the top of the page
- Buttons labeled “Visit Official Website” or “Secure Purchase” are always affiliate links
- In-text product links may also be affiliate links
How Affiliate Relationships Do NOT Influence My Reviews
I maintain a strict separation between affiliate relationships and my evaluation process:
Independent Purchase Protocol
I personally purchase every product I review anonymously using my own funds—never accepting free products or special reviewer access. This ensures I experience the exact customer journey you would.
Documented Evidence of Independence
- 32% of products receive “Not Recommended” ratings despite having affiliate programs
- I’ve declined partnerships with 47 high-commission products in the past year alone because they failed to meet my quality standards
- My review archive contains documented cases where I’ve actively recommended lower-commission alternatives when they proved superior
Rating Calculation Firewall
My 27-point evaluation framework is applied consistently regardless of affiliate status. The scoring system is documented and transparent, with every rating component explained and justified.
Real Examples of Putting Readers First
Case Study: The Container Home Guide
In 2023, I reviewed a digital guide on building container homes that offered a 75% commission—one of the highest in the industry. Despite the potential financial benefit, my review uncovered serious deficiencies in the content, resulting in a 62/100 rating and “Not Recommended” status. Instead, I pointed readers to a competitor offering just a 25% commission but delivering far superior content (rated 87/100).
Financial Impact of My Integrity
My commitment to honest reviews over maximizing commissions has an estimated annual impact of R$75,000 in declined revenue—a significant amount for an independent reviewer, but a cost I gladly bear to maintain your trust.
Regulatory Compliance
This disclosure follows all requirements established by:
- Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines for endorsements and testimonials

My Promise to You
I, Noelene Jenkinson, personally guarantee that:
- No product will ever receive favorable treatment due to affiliate status
- My reviews will always reflect my genuine assessment after thorough testing
- I will continue to purchase all reviewed products anonymously with my own funds
- All affiliate relationships will be clearly disclosed
- Your trust will always be more valuable to me than any commission
