Affiliate disclosure & funding
How this site stays free, what's a paid placement, and what isn't.
MorseCodeGenerator.com is run by an independent operator (no agency, no VC). The tools and reference content are free for anyone to use forever. To pay for hosting, bandwidth, and the time it takes to maintain accurate Morse references, the site earns money in three ways, listed in plain English below.
1) Display advertising
We show ads via Google AdSense on long-form reference pages — articles, glossary, FAQ. Ads are never placed inside an interactive tool (translator, decoder, or practice trainer) because they would disrupt the workflow. Every ad block is labelled "Advertisement" so it's never mistaken for editorial content.
Ads only load after you accept the cookie banner. If you choose "Essential only," no ad scripts are requested at all.
2) Affiliate links
Some outbound links to radio gear, Morse keys, books, and learning courses are affiliate links. If you buy through one, the retailer pays this site a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to products we'd recommend to a friend. No vendor has paid for placement, and no recommendation has been altered to favour a higher commission.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Affiliate links may be marked with ↗ or labelled "affiliate" inline; assume every outbound product link could be one.
3) Reader support
If you find the site useful, the most valuable things you can do are free:
- Share a link with a friend learning Morse or studying for a ham licence.
- Link to a useful page from your blog, classroom site, or club page.
- Email [email protected] with corrections, gaps, or feature requests — we read every one.
We don't currently accept direct donations. If a sponsorship channel opens up, it will be linked here.
What we don't do
- No paid placements in editorial content. Articles, glossary entries, and FAQ answers are written without input from advertisers.
- No sponsored "best of" lists ranked by who paid the most.
- No selling visitor data. See Privacy Policy for what analytics and ad providers collect.
- No accounts, no tracking pixels on the translator. The tool runs in your browser, not on our server.
Questions or concerns
If you ever see a placement that looks misleading, or want to confirm whether a link is an affiliate link, email [email protected] and we'll answer directly.
