What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a way for websites to earn commissions by recommending products or services. When you click a link on our site that is tagged as an affiliate link and then make a purchase, we receive a small commission from the merchant — at no additional cost to you.
How We Handle Affiliate Relationships
We take our editorial independence seriously. Our principles regarding affiliate marketing:
- We only recommend products we believe in. We will not recommend a product simply because it offers a higher commission rate. Our recommendations are based on genuine evaluation of value and relevance to our readers.
- Commissions never inflate our recommendations. If we don't recommend a product, it means we don't think it's the best option for our readers — regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with it.
- We disclose affiliate links clearly. When an article contains affiliate links, we include a disclosure notice at the top of the article or in close proximity to the link.
- Your cost is never higher because of our affiliate links. In fact, we sometimes have exclusive discount codes for our readers.
