Bait and Switch?

I get an email with the subject:

"Top Free PHP Scripts for Websites That You Should Not Miss in 2023"

All I see are affiliate links?

Hello Terry,

Thank you for asking. Yes, there are affiliate links and links that point to the article's author's site. Some of the affiliate links were added during the moderation.

The opinions about the listed products are from the article's author. The author only added links to the product pages and the author's site.

All external links have the rel=nofollow attribute be compliant with Google Webmaster guidelines.

The affiliate links are one way we are trying to make the site accessible for everybody while paying for all our site expenses.

We do a lot of work in site moderation and maintenance to keep the site viable. So this is just another form of advertising.

For now, the use of affiliate links is an experiment.

So to answer your question, this is not "Bait and Switch." because the listed products exist and you can try them for free if you want.

Thanks for explaining the process of this site.

Happy Holiday's to you and yours.

You are welcome.

Thank you for participating in our PHP community.

We hope to see you participating more with your comments because participations like yours give us opportunities to explain unclear aspects of the site.

Happy holidays to you, your family, friends, and colleagues.
