Our External links
"Yes, like almost every other channel, we use affiliate links. Now you know."
We often link to the products and services we talk about. We strive to link to familiar companies that offer competitive pricing and provide a high level of service and support.
If you believe that our choices of destinations could be improved, we welcome feedback in the comments.
Some companies operate affiliate programs, meaning that if you purchase the product or service by following a link on our site, we could receive a commission. There are often conditions on time, visits, and other factors that frequently negate any commission.
We use a tool that automatically checks if link destinations have affiliate programs available. If they do, the tool modifies the link to use the available program. Our main focus is to provide convenient links to reputable sources for the product/service we reference. Operating an affiliate program is not a condition for linking—competitive pricing, service, and reputation are.
We use the commission we receive to support the channel, helping us purchase products for review or preview. It also allows us to reduce our reliance on advertising.
