How We Make Money
Transparency matters. This page is the Garden Soap Team's plain-language account of how HomemadeInsecticidalSoap.com may earn revenue — and how monetization does and does not affect recipes, guides, or product mentions.
Amazon Associates
HomemadeInsecticidalSoap.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising
program designed to provide a means for sites to earn
advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. The
Associates tracking tag used on this site is
soapgarden06-20.
Some links to Amazon.com are affiliate links. If a reader clicks one and buys something, HomemadeInsecticidalSoap.com may earn a commission at no extra cost to the reader. That is the only Amazon tag this desk uses. The legal wording lives on the affiliate disclaimer.
Display advertising
Pages may show third-party display ads (Google AdSense). Ads are a separate revenue stream from affiliate links. An ad appearing next to a recipe is not an endorsement of the advertiser.
What this does not change
Editorial decisions are not for sale. A commission or an ad impression does not set rankings, conclusions, or whether we mention a plant-safety downside. The Garden Soap Team is an editorial desk: we read university extension guidance, OMRI listings, and documented gardener reports. We are not a product-testing lab and we do not invent a test fleet to justify a recommendation.
We do not accept paid placements for reviews. If a product is a poor fit, we say so or we skip it. See the editorial policy for how copy is sourced and updated.
Disclosure standards
- Buying notes and product mentions follow extension guidance, not listing copy.
- The full Associates wording is on the affiliate disclaimer.
- This page stays indexable so readers can find the money story without opening a legal leftover.
