Affiliate Disclosure

Negative Reviews participates 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. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

We may also participate in other affiliate programs from time to time. When that’s the case, the disclosure on the relevant page or section will make it explicit.

How it affects what you read

It doesn’t. Editor picks reflect product quality, scored against our Methodology, and reviewed under our Editorial Standards. We don’t accept payment for placement, and we don’t change scores in response to commission rates. If a product we like pays a higher commission than a product we don’t, the lower-commission product still wins.

What affiliate links look like

Affiliate links on this site are marked with rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes so search engines understand the commercial relationship. They open in a new tab. When you click an outbound link to Amazon (or another retailer) and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Where commissions go

Affiliate revenue funds the editorial team that tests, writes, and updates this site. It pays the writers, reviewers, hosting, and the tools we use to keep the database fresh. There is no other revenue stream — no manufacturer sponsorships, no paid placements, no email-list selling.

Your control

If you’d rather avoid affiliate links entirely, navigate to Amazon (or any retailer) directly. The site still works, our tools still run, and you still get the same editorial recommendations — you just won’t be helping us fund the next round of investigation.
