Affiliate Disclosure

How partner links are selected, labelled and separated from results.

ZipCodeGlobe may eventually earn a commission from clearly labelled partner offers on qualifying editorial pages.

Placement rules

Partner offers never change postal results, ranking, match status or source data. They do not appear on lookup results, search results, noindex pages, policy pages or above the primary answer. Every placement carries a visible “Partner offer” label and disclosure.

Link attributes and review

Affiliate links use sponsored and nofollow attributes. Offers store a verification date and automatically stop rendering when inactive or expired. We do not use fake urgency or unsupported savings claims.

Current status

The affiliate system ships disabled and contains no active offer by default.

How a partner link is selected

An offer can appear only when the global affiliate switch is enabled, the offer is active and within its verified date window, and an administrator has explicitly placed it on a qualifying guide. The guide must already answer the reader’s primary question and pass its editorial and indexation gates. There is no automatic keyword injection across postal results or country directories.

How partner content is displayed

The component uses a visible “Partner offer” label, disclosure text and link attributes including sponsored, nofollow and noopener. It is visually distinct from ordinary internal links and from advertising slots. It does not appear above the main answer, between a tool input and output, inside postal lookup results, on search pages, on trust pages or in administrative areas.

Compensation and independence

The operator may receive a commission if a visitor follows a qualifying link and completes an action. The visitor’s price may or may not be affected depending on the partner’s current terms. Compensation does not purchase a favourable postal match, ranking, correction decision or editorial conclusion. GeoNames, national postal operators and government bodies do not endorse a partner merely because a related guide links to it.

Verification and expiry

Affiliate programmes, eligibility, destinations and commercial terms change. Each offer stores a last-verified date and optional start or end dates. An inactive, expired or removed placement stops rendering. Visitors should read the partner’s current terms, privacy policy, cancellation rules and eligibility requirements before purchasing. The site does not use fake countdowns, fabricated scarcity or unsupported savings claims.

Questions

Questions about a specific disclosure or placement can be sent through the contact page. Include the guide URL and partner label. The affiliate system ships disabled and empty by default, so the presence of this policy does not mean a commercial relationship is currently active.
