Disclosure
How Emazoo handles sponsored links, affiliate relationships, advertising, and editorial independence.
Emazoo publishes independent coverage of How businesses run day to day: operations, tools, money, hiring, shipping, selling online. This page sets out every commercial relationship that could reasonably affect how you read it — who pays us, how paid links are marked, and what those arrangements are not allowed to buy.
-
Our standing disclosure
Some links may be sponsored. Our editors choose what we cover, and nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice.
That statement applies to everything published at emazoo.com, in every format, whether or not an individual piece repeats it.
-
Paid and affiliate links
Emazoo currently runs no affiliate links and no sponsored placements. Outbound links on this site are editorial: we link to a source because it is the best evidence for the claim we just made, and we are paid nothing when you follow one.
If that changes, every paid or affiliate link will be marked where it appears, will carry the appropriate link attribute, and this page will be updated before the first one runs.
- Sponsored link
- A link Emazoo was paid to carry. Marked in the text where it appears and tagged rel="sponsored".
- Affiliate link
- A link that may earn us a commission if you buy something. Marked the same way, and the price you pay is unaffected.
- Editorial link
- An unpaid link to a source, document, or product we chose to point at. The default on emazoo.com, and never marked as commercial.
-
What money does not buy
No commercial relationship decides whether Emazoo covers a topic, who we assign it to, or what we conclude about it. No sponsor, advertiser, or affiliate partner sees a piece before it publishes, and none of them can have a published piece altered or taken down because they dislike it.
A product we earn a commission on gets the same scrutiny as one we do not, and a critical conclusion about a commercial partner runs exactly as written. Where Emazoo cannot cover something in How businesses run day to day: operations, tools, money, hiring, shipping, selling online without a conflict we cannot disclose our way out of, we do not cover it.

Questions about a specific placement
If a link, placement, or disclosure on Emazoo is unclear — or you think something commercial went unmarked — tell the editorial desk which article and which link, and we will check it and fix the marking if it is wrong.
How Emazoo sources, checks, and corrects the coverage itself is set out separately in our full editorial policy, linked at the foot of this page.
