Affiliate Disclosure
We believe you should know exactly how AFFDigest makes money — and why it never changes what we tell you about a network.
Some links here are affiliate links, and some placements are paid. Either way, our scores and rankings are decided by editors on verified data — money never buys a better score or a higher rank. Paid placements are always labeled.
How AFFDigest makes money
Running a verified directory takes real work — research, editing, and re-checking facts every month. We fund that in two transparent ways:
- Affiliate links. When you click through to some networks or programs and sign up, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never changes the price or terms you get.
- Sponsored placements. A network can pay to be featured in clearly-marked spots — for example a promoted slot on a category or archive page. These are always labeled as sponsored.
Editorial independence
Our scores and rankings are editorial. They’re based on payout terms, tracking, support, and other criteria traced to official sources — not on whether a network is an advertiser. A sponsor cannot buy a higher score, move up a ranking, or remove a negative note. If a paid partner performs poorly on the data, it still ranks where the data puts it.
How we label things
You’ll always be able to tell what’s what:
Where a link is an affiliate link or a placement is sponsored, we mark it and/or note it on the page. If something isn’t labeled, treat it as a normal editorial link.
Why you can still trust the data
Payouts, payment terms, commission models, and traffic rules are drafted from each network’s official pages, verified by human editors, and re-checked on a schedule. Changes are recorded in our public data changelog. That process runs the same way whether or not a network pays us.
FTC & advertising disclosure
In line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines (and similar rules elsewhere), we disclose that AFFDigest has financial relationships with some of the companies listed. We may be compensated when you click certain links or sign up with certain networks. This disclosure applies across the site, in addition to any labels shown on individual pages.
Questions?
If anything about how we make money is unclear, or you think a placement isn’t labeled correctly, tell us — we take it seriously. You can also read our Privacy Policy to see how we handle your data.
