About Affiliations and Commissions
The Internet is replete with affiliation opportunities. An affiliation is simply an arrangement by which a referrer receives a commission for a referral that leads to a sale.
We believe that customers should know about such business relationships, so that she/he may avoid being inappropriately influenced by advice received from an Internet professional.
We recognize that this is counter to common business practice, wherein commissions structures and residuals are usually confidential. Because we have strong roots in social services and psychology; we think it's the ethical way to operate.
