I'm getting ready to make a YouTube video where I refer people to my affiliate link. The affiliate link will be in the form of a url redirect which is easier to remember. Obviously, I have to somehow make my viewers aware that they are visiting an affiliate link in order to avoid any terms of service violations. What is the best way to go about this?
Just make sure you get high traffic visiting your videos. The more people visiting your videos, the more likely you are; to have people clicking on your link. Best you put a direct link. URL redirects are often considered 'spammy'. Youtube bots will detect the redirect and mark down your videos.
