affiliate disclosure

Introduction

atlastosahara participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions when you click on certain links or make purchases through our website. These commissions come at no extra cost to you and help us keep our content free and maintain our website.

This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) Endorsement Guides to ensure full transparency about our affiliate relationships.

How It Works

When you visit www.atlastosahara.com and click on certain links to products, services, hotels, tours, or other travel-related offerings, we may receive compensation from the companies behind those links. This compensation can come in various forms, including:

  • Commissions: A percentage of the sale price when you make a purchase
  • Flat fees: A fixed amount for each click or referral
  • Free products or services: Complimentary items or experiences for review purposes
  • Discounts: Reduced rates on products or services we recommend
  • Other benefits: Various forms of compensation that may be offered by our partners

The amount we earn varies depending on the specific affiliate program and the products or services you choose to purchase.

Where It Applies

This affiliate disclosure applies to all content on www.atlastosahara.com, including:

  • Blog posts and articles
  • Product and service reviews
  • Travel guides and recommendations
  • Resource pages
  • Email newsletters
  • Social media posts linked from our website

Whether or not a specific post or page contains affiliate links, this disclosure covers our entire website to ensure you’re always aware of our affiliate relationships.

Link-Level Disclosures

In addition to this general disclosure, we make every effort to clearly identify affiliate links throughout our website. You’ll see clear labels such as:

  • (paid link)
  • (affiliate link)
  • #ad
  • #sponsored
  • #affiliate

These labels will appear immediately before or after the affiliate link to make it obvious that clicking the link may result in compensation for atlastosahara.
