On the Next Stop (the “Site”) is free to access and read. The Site earns revenue from advertisements and affiliate links. There’s no extra cost to you if you make a purchase through the advertisements or affiliate links. That said, the revenue generated helps to support the Site including web hosting and developing new contents that readers may find useful.
Revenue Sources
The Site earns its revenue from several sources mentioned below. Clicking on an advert or affiliate link will take you to a page on the advertiser’s website. This is how the Site earns revenue from the sources:
- Google Adsense advertisements – Clicking an advertisement will take you to a page on the advertiser’s website and a commission is earned. There is no cost to you for making that click. And you do not pay an extra penny for purchasing or booking with the advertiser or supplier.
- Google Adsense impressions – These are the same Google Adsense advertisements. Revenue is earned (without any action by you) when the advertisements show up on the Site. The commission earned is very small, just a few cents for showing 1,000 impressions. Again, there is no cost to you.
- HotelsCombined affiliate links – These include text links, banner ads and the search engine. HotelsCombined compares room rates from multiple travel sites such as Expedia, Hotels.com and Booking.com. A commission is earned when you click the hotel links leading to the travel sites. There is no extra cost to you when you pay.
- GetYourGuide affiliate links – These include text links and banner ads. The website is a marketplace for all kinds of activities including tours, tickets, passes provided from multiple suppliers. A commission is earned when you make a confirm purchase or booking. There is no extra cost to you when you pay.
To say it again, there is no extra cost to you for purchasing or booking via the advertisements or affiliate links. To the best of one’s knowledge, prices are the same whether via the advertisements and affiliate links on the Site or going directly to the websites.
Articles are Independent Editorial Contents
The advertisements and affiliate links on the Site are to inform you about products and services that may interest you. There is no obligation for you to purchase or book. Though revenue is generated from advertisements and affiliate links, the articles are independent editorial contents. The Site is also free from sponsors whether in cash or kind.
Disclaimer for Purchases & Bookings
Your decision to purchase or make a booking is entirely up to you. To the best of one’s knowledge, the advertisements and affiliate links are from reliable suppliers. But the publisher of the Site has no control or is responsible for your purchases or bookings if you are dissatisfied or have problems (if any). Please direct any queries with the advertiser or supplier.
