How CouponCove should evaluate pages and offers.

This page sets the tone for how affiliate content should be built on the site: useful first, monetized second, no fake urgency circus.

What we aim for

  • Clear, honest verdicts instead of padded indecision.
  • Visible disclosures near monetized CTAs.
  • Useful merchant context on coupon pages.
  • Real pros and cons on review pages.
  • Comparisons that help users choose quickly.

What to avoid

  • Fake countdown timers or fake expiry pressure.
  • Copy-paste specs dressed up as “reviews”.
  • Merchant pages with zero useful notes.
  • Internal links that go nowhere useful.
  • Thin affiliate pages made only to chase ranking.
