I Hate “Invalid Links”
by admin on Aug.15, 2013, under Shop@RoseCottage
There are a few advertisers I’ve been working with as an affiliate since I started this blog. If I’ve purchased their products and found them to be as advertised and effective for the purpose, I’ll recommend them here with a link to the online location where the product can be purchased. With most I will receive a small (trust me SMALL) commission. That’s it. And I don’t promote what I don’t know.
Sometimes advertisers seem to prefer that I push sales rather than useful information and they drop me from their programs for lack of enough sales. So be it.
However, this means that over the course of a blog with a 5-year life, it is darned near impossible to remove all the (now) broken links, and the content around them is still worthwhile.
Apologies to anyone who reads this blog, clicks on a product link – and is then taken to a page with a “invalid link” or “invalid advertiser ID” notice. The products are likely still available and the links WERE valid when I placed them – I just didn’t push readers hard enough to BUY, BUY, BUY and was summarily dropped by the advertiser – in some cases with no notice.
Just FYI: I won’t change my process to suit an advertiser and I’ll never recommend or review a product as being useful unless it actually is.
