Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated August 2026. Required reading for FTC compliance and for being a decent human.

The short version

Most links on this site that point to products, services, or experience bookings are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, booking, trial registration, membership signup, or another qualifying action, we may receive a commission or fixed bounty from the merchant. You pay exactly the same price — the payment comes from the merchant's marketing budget, not your wallet.

How to identify affiliate links

Every blog post with affiliate links carries a visible disclosure banner at the top. Individual affiliate links are tagged with rel="sponsored" per Google's webmaster guidelines. Branded short links like northvilletech.co/ifly redirect through our affiliate tracking — they're still affiliate links, even though they wear our domain.

Amazon Associates identification

As required by the Amazon Associates Program: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon may also pay a fixed bounty when an eligible reader completes a qualifying registration through a clearly disclosed Amazon Special Link.

Editorial independence

Our recommendations are our own. No brand pays us for positive coverage. We don't accept free experiences in exchange for reviews (if we ever do accept press access, we'll say so clearly in the post). If we wouldn't recommend something to a friend, we won't recommend it here — even if the commission is attractive.

What we do with affiliate revenue

We use it to pay for the experiences we review. That is the entire economic model: click an affiliate link, we earn enough to go try the next thing, write about it, repeat. No ads, no sponsored posts, no brand deals mid-video.
