<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:256">Affiliate marketers in the financial services industry face a new landscape following the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issuing a new circular of guidance on “preferencing and steering practices” by digital intermediaries or affiliates.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:310">The guidance, outlined in <a target="_blank" href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/compliance/circulars/consumer-financial-protection-circular-2024-01-preferencing-and-steering-practices-by-digital-intermediaries-for-consumer-financial-products-or-services/" rel="noopener">Consumer Financial Protection Circular 2024-01</a>, clarifies that prioritising financial products based on payments received by comparison sites, rather than on what’s best for consumers, is considered illegal.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="5:1-5:310">This practice, known as “steering,” violates the CFPB’s Abusive Acts or Practices rule.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="7:1-7:136">While the ruling doesn’t ban affiliate marketing entirely, it significantly impacts how comparison sites can utilise their paid partnerships.</p>
<h3 data-sourcepos="9:1-9:45"><strong>Could This Be the End of Curated Results?</strong></h3>
<p data-sourcepos="11:1-11:344">Prior to this ruling, comparison sites often used affiliate marketing to highlight specific products, sometimes burying better options for consumers deeper within their results. This “curated” approach steered consumers towards products that were more profitable for the comparison site, not necessarily the best fit for the individual’s needs.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="13:1-13:243">The CFPB’s new guidance demands a shift towards a more neutral presentation. This could effectively change the internet landscape for financial product searches, potentially turning comparison sites into something akin to an online yellow pages.</p>
<h4 data-sourcepos="9:1-9:42"><strong>Key takeaways for affiliate marketers:</strong></h4>
<ul data-sourcepos="11:1-14:0">
<li data-sourcepos="11:1-11:152"><strong>Focus on objectivity:</strong> Comparison sites can no longer prioritise products based on the amount of revenue generated through affiliate partnerships.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="12:1-12:197"><strong>Transparency is key:</strong> Clear separation between paid advertisements and objective comparisons is crucial. All available options, regardless of affiliate relationships, must be presented fairly.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="13:1-14:0"><strong>Compliance is essential:</strong> Failure to comply with the CFPB’s guidance could lead to enforcement actions, including fines and other penalties.</li>
</ul>
<h4 data-sourcepos="15:1-15:36"><strong>Experts believe the ruling will:</strong></h4>
<ul data-sourcepos="17:1-20:0">
<li data-sourcepos="17:1-17:197"><strong>Increase scrutiny on affiliate marketing practices:</strong> Regulatory bodies are likely to pay closer attention to how comparison sites structure their partnerships and represent financial products.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="18:1-18:151"><strong>Shift focus towards value-based partnerships:</strong> Collaboration based on product quality and relevance to consumer needs might become more prominent.</li>
<li data-sourcepos="19:1-20:0"><strong>Lead to innovation:</strong> Affiliate marketers may need to develop new strategies and metrics to demonstrate the value they bring to both consumers and comparison sites.</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>The full impact of the CFPB’s guidance is yet to be seen, but it undoubtedly represents a significant change for affiliate marketers in the financial services sector.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="21:1-21:323">Adapting to the new regulations while maintaining consumer trust and generating revenue will be the key challenge for businesses in this evolving landscape. Read the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/compliance/circulars/consumer-financial-protection-circular-2024-01-preferencing-and-steering-practices-by-digital-intermediaries-for-consumer-financial-products-or-services/" rel="noopener">full circular and additional analysis</a> on the circular that was released last week.</p>

<p>WordPress has options for all your website needs whether you need a site to run your e-commerce business, want to start a blog or need a landing page to collect leads for you. If you’re considering WordPress to build your site, you may have come across two different types of WordPress sites: WordPress.com and WordPress.org. We’ll walk you through the key features, pricing and pros and cons of each option so that you can decide which is the best for you.</p>
<h2 id="wordpresscom_vs_wordpressorg_at_a_glance" class="section-title">WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org: At a Glance</h2>
<p>Remeber, the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org is to remember .org provides advanced customization and monetization options. WordPress.com gives users a quick and easy way to get started for free and can expand to more custom paid options as they grow.</p>

<p>Why We Picked It</p>
<div class="c-tab--content list-points answer">
<p>WordPress.com can help merchants to monetize through selling their own products and services, affiliate marketing, WordAds, sponsored posts and donations or tips from readers. WordAds is the only ad network available for use with your free WordPress account. If you want to qualify for an ad service like Mediavine or AdThrive, you must use a self-hosted account instead.</p>
<p>Unless you pay for a Premium (or better) plan at INR 1,165.39 ($14) per month, you won’t generate ad revenue from the ads WordPress places on your site—they keep it. With a free account, you give WordPress the right to share your content how it sees fit.</p>
<p>Business or eCommerce plan of WordPress.com offer plugins, which extend the functionality of a site. However, there are standard themes that are easy to install in minutes. While it lacks customization, you can have your site live quickly.</p>

<p>Why We Picked It</p>
<div class="c-tab--content list-points answer">
<p>WordPress.org software is free. Despite WordPress.org being known as the self-hosted WordPress option, you typically don’t host the site yourself (unless you do own a hosting setup). Instead, you pay for a web hosting company such as Bluehost or SiteGround to host your site for you. Web hosting providers generally offer plans from INR 832.42 ($10) to INR 2497.26 ($30) per month. Often, they provide a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/in/business/free-domain-name/" rel="noopener">free domain name </a>for the first year you’re with them.</p>
<p>WordPress.org gives you virtually limitless creative options thanks to HTML and other coding languages. If you’re not coding-savvy, you can use premade themes to change the look and layout, and plugins to increase the functionality of your site. You can purchase advanced themes that work best for the goal of your site at marketplaces. For example, there are options specifically for e-commerce or travel blogging.</p>
<p>You own all the content you share on your self-hosted site, as well as all the rights. This means WordPress cannot reshare your content anywhere. Site owners can also sell ad space on their websites with WordPress.org, whereas you can’t with WordPress.com (unless using WordAds). Provided it’s legal, you can use any type of monetization method when self-hosting. It’s best to double-check with your host company, in case it has specific rules around certain niche industries (such as CBD or adult content).</p>

<h2 id="how_the_companies_stack_up" class="section-title">How the Companies Stack Up</h2>
<h3>Cost and Domain Names</h3>
<p>Advanced features of WordPress.com come with a cost. These start at INR 582.69 ($7) per month and go up to INR 4,911.28 ($59) per month. While the free version comes with a custom subdomain, such as mysitehere.wordpress.com, you must pay for a domain name if you want full customization (mysitehere.com). With WordPress.org, most host companies provide a free, custom domain name for the first year.</p>
<h3>Monetization and Rights</h3>
<p>There’s a glaring difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in ad options. With .com, you can only use WordAds, which is WordPress’ official advertising network. A self-hosted account allows for any ad network, such as Google AdSense, Mediavine or AdThrive.</p>
<p>Bloggers who want to make money bloggin must have a self-hosted blog via WordPress.org. This is because the vast majority of influencer networks require you to self-host so you own the content you produce without giving WordPress the blanket right to use your content as they see fit.</p>
<p>Similarly, let’s say you want to publish a book traditionally, and you build your audience via a blog or website by sharing excerpts from your book. Whether you use .com or .org, a traditional publisher won’t take any content you’ve posted online. This is because you’ve already “published” the content, even if it was just on your own website.</p>
<p>Google Analytics can be installed on a self-hosted site to help you measure the site traffic. If you want the option for your WordPress.com site, you must purchase a Premium plan or above. Most influencer networks and brands require a blogger or influencer to have Google Analytics installed on their site.</p>
<p>If you don’t need advanced customization or monetization tools and are okay with display ads, you may enjoy using WordPress.com. An example is someone keeping a journal online about a family member’s health updates; you don’t plan on making money off this and need a place to share updates with friends and family.</p>
<h3>Storage</h3>
<p>WordPress.com offers backup and storage as per the plan you choose. Free plans get 3 GB, and with its paid plans you can have up to 200 GB of storage. For WordPress.org, the amount of storage available depends on your host company package. Many offer unlimited storage, particularly with higher-tiered packages.</p>
<h3>E-Commerce</h3>
<p>An e-commerce option is available on WordPress.com for INR 4,911.28 ($59) per month, so users can accept payments in over 60 countries, integrate with shipping carriers and have better design options. With plugins, WordPress.org users can integrate their site with e-commerce solutions, as well as choose themes best suited for selling online.</p>
<h2 id="bottom_line" class="section-title">Bottom Line</h2>
<p>WordPress has options for every need no matter the reason for needing a content management system (CMS) webiste. However, there are certain situations that warrant using a self-hosted option. If you’re a blogger or business owner selling products or services, you’re best sticking with a self-hosted website through WordPress.org.</p>
<p>Although an e-commerce plan exists with WordPress.com, you can’t beat the customization options available with WordPress.org for your online store. Use WordPress.com if you just want a free website to experiment with, or don’t need customization or plugins.</p>

<p>“We Make Sports Betting Seamless” is the motto of <strong>Leadstar Media</strong> and that’s exactly what they aim to do for US players with the launch of their flagship product in the states. This is the company behind <a target="_blank" href="https://mybettingsites.com/us" rel="noopener">My Betting Sites US</a>, a recently-launched betting site comparison service, which is hailed to become the latest in a long line of success stories for the Swedish iGaming affiliate.</p>
<p>Since 2018, Leadstar Media has embarked on a journey of unbridled expansion which has seen them enter into and launch, betting advice and comparison products in over thirty countries around the world, to date.</p>
<p>MyBettingSites.com has been one of their flagship products aimed at targeting players who are looking for sports betting site comparison services. Initially launched as a product focusing on the UK market, MyBettingSites is now available to players across the English-speaking world.</p>
<p>Specifically tailored sub-geos guide players, new and experienced, to help navigate an often confusing and multi-layered betting landscape. Players in Australia, Canada, Ghana, India, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria and South Africa can all enjoy bespoke advice from experts who know the ins and outs of online betting in their country.</p>
<p>Players in the US have the ability to find the perfect sports betting sites for their needs. But exactly how is this done? We talked to the principal architect and lead brain behind the launch of the new US site Patrick Corkery who offered us more insight:</p>
<p>“As a US native, I felt it was important to bring value and expertise into the market with our new product. A lot of established competitors in the US do offer products targeting betting sites comparison but with a lot of fluff, and sometimes without maximising the value of the content to players’ needs.”</p>
<p>“With MyBettingSites US we wanted to continue to honour the tradition established in our other geos, whilst also harnessing our expertise, experience and knowledge – to dig deeper. We think this will give players real value that you just can’t find anywhere else. Ultimately, it’s about consistently providing the right advice and options to satisfy everyone who lands on our site.”</p>
<p>MyBettingSites US aims to provide a number of different avenues to guide US players to the best betting sites available for them. Tailored lists and pages, which highlight the respective qualities and features of a betting site, are just some of those avenues.</p>
<p>If you’re a player looking for a variety of legal options in your state this is another pathway you can choose. If you’re searching for a great betting site for the NFL or you enjoy a punt on a promo, then they’ve also got you covered there.</p>
<p>Trustworthiness and a user-friendly platform are two factors that have been instrumental in the success of MyBettingSites.com, which will spill over into the US, ensures Patrick Corkery. “We’ve trial-tested it, and worked hard to create a platform that is fresh-faced and easy to navigate”.</p>
<p>The philosophy of Leadstar Media has long been “transparency”, with the company only working with legal online bookmakers. The Swedish affiliate currently holds a number of state-issued licences which allows them to legally operate in the US.</p>
<p>What does the future hold for MyBettingSites US? Patrick explains: “We’re currently expanding a lot of our statewide content to give a full overview for Americans who are looking for legal options where they live. As users land on the page, we have a greater option to assess the data and see what works to keep improving our product in line with user expectations. That’s really what this game is all about!”</p>

<p>Swedish lead generation and media company <a target="_blank" href="https://leadstarmedia.com/" rel="noopener">Leadstar Media</a> has expanded its product portfolio with a betting bonus comparison site for the American market, called Betting Bonus USA.</p>
<p>In line with the company’s goal of strengthening its presence in the United States, American players will now be able to enjoy guides on betting bonuses and sportsbook offers.</p>
<p>The launch of Betting Bonus US further expands the growing betting bonus brand of the company. Within the past year, betting enthusiasts in Nigeria, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and India have been enjoying the services of the product. Those services have now been extended into the American market.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="https://bettingbonus.com/" rel="noopener">Betting Bonus USA</a> focuses on comparing sportsbook offers for both new and existing players in states where online betting is legal, with the aim of making it easy for bettors to find the best sports betting bonuses.</p>
<p>In addition, players can find information on bonus terms and conditions, legality, wagering requirements, validity periods, and all other relevant information.</p>
<p>The introduction of Betting Bonus US coincides with an increasing number of queries around the topic of online betting bonuses in the US. As is the modus operandi of a typical Leadstar Media product, Betting Bonus USA takes a comprehensive view of the bonuses available to American players and compares the different offers based on key decision-making factors. The end game is to help visitors on the site choose the right bonus.</p>
<p><strong>Jacob Ljunggren, Leadstar Media Product Director,</strong> is full of optimism about what the site is going to offer American bettors.</p>
<p>‘In the last few years, we have been intentional about expanding our operations in the US igaming market. We have made gains with our already existing sites like sportsbookonline.com and unitedgamblers.com.</p>
<p>‘Recently, we also launched the mybettingsites.com brand in America, and in line with our goal of being a reference in the United States, we are following that up with the launch of Betting Bonus US’, Ljunggren explained.</p>
<p>He continued: ‘We are excited about this new project and are confident that users will value the site’.</p>
<p>The newly launched site is run by several seasoned igaming experts with years of experience under their belts.</p>
<p>One of the people behind Betting Bonus USA is Dennis Johnson, who has been active on the online sports betting scene both as a punter and writer.</p>
<p>He says he is happy to be part of the project and quite confident that they will help American players in their search for the best bonuses and offers.</p>
<p>‘I am really excited about the launch of the new site and it is my hope that we are able to please the American audience who want accurate information about Sportsbook bonuses’. Johnson said.</p>
