Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: April 27, 2026 · Effective: April 27, 2026
Transparency is a core value at BuyerDex. This page explains our affiliate relationships, how we earn money, and our unwavering commitment to editorial honesty.
Important Notice
BuyerDex is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. We may also participate in affiliate programmes with other retailers. When you click one of our links and make a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based advertising model where a website earns a commission by promoting another company's products or services. When we include a link to a product on a retailer's site and you click that link and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale. This commission comes from the retailer — it is not an additional charge to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you click through our site or navigate to the retailer directly.
Our Affiliate Relationships
BuyerDex currently maintains affiliate relationships with the following programmes:
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through our Amazon product links. Amazon affiliate links are the primary source of affiliate revenue on our site.
From time to time we may include affiliate links to other retailers. Any such links will behave the same way — you pay nothing extra, and we earn a small commission if you purchase.
How We Earn Commissions
Here is how the process works step by step:
- 1Our editors research, test (where possible), and evaluate products independently.
- 2We publish our honest findings in articles, reviews, and buying guides.
- 3Within those articles, we include links to purchase the products from retailers such as Amazon.
- 4If you click a link and complete a qualifying purchase, the retailer credits us with a commission, typically between 1% and 10% of the sale price, depending on the product category.
- 5You pay exactly the same price as you would by going directly to the retailer.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions — period.
Products are selected, ranked, and recommended based on merit: performance, value for money, build quality, user satisfaction, and overall usefulness to our readers. We never recommend a product simply because it pays a higher commission, and we never suppress a negative finding because a brand has an affiliate deal with us.
If a product is poor, we say so. If a cheaper option outperforms a premium one, we tell you. Our credibility with readers is our most important asset, and we will not trade it for short-term revenue.
Never ranked by commission rate
Never paid to include products
Negative findings always disclosed
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), BuyerDex clearly discloses its material connections with advertisers and affiliate partners.
Where affiliate links appear in our content, a disclosure notice is displayed — either at the top of the article, within the body near the relevant links, or in the footer of every page. This ensures readers are always informed before clicking any affiliate link.
Our editorial team is trained on FTC disclosure requirements and we conduct periodic reviews to ensure ongoing compliance. If you believe any page on our site is not compliant with disclosure guidelines, please contact us immediately.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, BuyerDex may publish sponsored articles or product features where a brand has paid to have their product covered. This is separate from our standard affiliate model.
All sponsored content is clearly labelled with a "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" tag at the top of the article. Sponsored content does not guarantee a positive review — we maintain the right to publish honest assessments even within paid placements.
Our standard editorial content is never sponsored. The vast majority of articles on BuyerDex are produced independently without brand involvement.
