Perhaps put two links?

"We recommend XYZ because of ABC. They run a program that compensates us for recommending them. You can click here and we won't receive any money for the recommendation, or click here and we'll receive a small amount of money that will be put towards our own development. As soon as, and if we ever decide to not recommend XYZ, we will remove both links."

Or whatever.

I saw this first at moneysavingexpert.com and appreciated how transparent they were. The average consumer may not know about affiliate links.
