Page Description:
Transparent disclosure of our affiliate relationships and how they impact our content and recommendations.
Full Disclosure Statement:
Top5TestedReviews.com participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn commissions on purchases made through our links to retailer sites, at no additional cost to you.
How Affiliate Links Work:
When you click on a product link on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. These commissions help support our testing and review process.
Our Editorial Independence:
Despite participating in affiliate programs, we maintain strict editorial independence:
- We never accept payment from manufacturers for reviews or rankings
- Affiliate relationships do not influence our testing methodology or product ratings
- We purchase all products ourselves for testing (we do not accept free products for review)
- Our reviews are based solely on testing results and objective criteria
Transparency Commitment:
- We clearly identify affiliate links (typically with notation or disclosure statements)
- We disclose our affiliate relationships on every page containing affiliate links
- We never prioritize affiliate commissions over honest recommendations
- If we wouldn't recommend a product to friends or family, we won't recommend it to our readers
Impact on Product Selection:
Our product selection for testing is based on:
- Market relevance and consumer interest
- Technical specifications and features
- Price range and value considerations
- Availability and brand reputation
Affiliate program participation is NOT a factor in selecting products for review.
Testing Process Integrity:
All products undergo the same rigorous testing process regardless of affiliate program availability or commission rates. Products with no affiliate program available receive the same thorough testing and consideration.
Why We Use Affiliate Links:
Affiliate commissions help support our operations, including:
- Purchasing products for testing
- Maintaining testing equipment and facilities
- Supporting our research and editorial team
- Covering website hosting and maintenance costs
Your Trust is Paramount:
We value reader trust above all else. If you have questions about our affiliate relationships or how they might impact specific content, please contact us at info@top5testedreviews.com.
