Advertising type
Text ads
Additional technical information
YielKit converts regular text into affiliate text links.
Concerns
I think this one is quite controversial: Naturally, there is no separation between content and ads. Also, the ads are only marked as such by a mouse-over tooltip which doesn't really fullfil our requirements and might be considered as misleading. On the other hand, the ads don't take up any extra space on the website and sometimes the links might provide extra value to the user.
What do you think, can this be qualified as acceptable advertising?
