| Jul 22, 2018 at 17:03 | comment | added | Jim MacKenzie | @scottbb For the purposes of transparency, it's a conflict of interest - presumably, people run sites because they want traffic, even if they're not gaining monetarily - but it's a minor one. Still, it should be disclosed, and it's trivial to do so. "I have a discussion on the matter on my website, xxx." | |
| Jul 22, 2018 at 17:01 | comment | added | scottbb Mod | it's definitely a conflict of interest to link to another site without disclosing a personal interest in it. Is it definite? Hypothetically, assuming there is nothing for the poster to gain financially at the off-site content (no affiliate links, no google adwords, etc.), is there really a conflict of interest? Mind you, I'm not commenting on to what degree the answer here is good/bad, or whether it's effectively a link-only answer to their off-site content (which would be another wrong issue altogether). But if the off-site content isn't monetized, purely just long-form content, is it COI? | |
