Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency is a core value at GoodFind. This page explains how we make money and how it affects our content.

Quick Summary

GoodFind participates in affiliate marketing programs. We may earn commissions from qualifying purchases made through links on our website.This never affects our editorial decisions or the honesty of our reviews.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that track when someone makes a purchase after clicking on our link. When you buy a product through our affiliate link, we receive a small commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you.

Think of it as a "thank you" from the retailer for sending them a customer. The price you pay remains exactly the same.

How We Use Affiliate Links

We include affiliate links in several ways:

  • Product Reviews: Links to purchase products we've reviewed
  • Deal Posts: Links to discounted products and offers
  • Recommendation Lists: Links to products we recommend
  • Comparison Tables: Links to compare prices across retailers

Our Affiliate Partners

We work with various affiliate programs, including:

  • Amazon Associates: For products available on Amazon
  • Manufacturer Programs: Direct partnerships with brands
  • Retailer Programs: Partnerships with major electronics retailers
  • Specialty Programs: Niche affiliate programs for specific product categories

How Much Do We Earn?

Commission rates vary by program and product category:

  • Amazon Associates: Typically 1-10% depending on product category
  • Electronics: Usually 2-8% commission rates
  • Software & Services: Can range from 5-30% for subscriptions
  • Other Categories: Varies widely by retailer and product type

Important: These commissions help support our operations and allow us to provide free content to our users.

Our Editorial Independence

We maintain complete editorial independence regardless of affiliate relationships. Here's how we ensure this:

  • No Brand Influence: Brands cannot pay us to write positive reviews
  • Honest Testing: We test every product thoroughly before recommending it
  • Transparent Disclosure: We clearly mark all affiliate relationships
  • User-First Approach: We only recommend products that truly deliver value
  • Critical Reviews: We're not afraid to point out flaws, even in products we can earn from

How We Choose Products to Review

Our product selection process is based on several factors, none of which include affiliate potential:

  1. User Interest: What our readers want to know about
  2. Market Relevance: Products that are currently popular or important
  3. Innovation: New technologies and features worth exploring
  4. Value Proposition: Products that offer good value for money
  5. Comparison Needs: Products that help readers make informed choices

How We Test Products

Every product we review goes through our rigorous testing process:

  • Hands-On Testing: We physically test every product in real-world conditions
  • Performance Analysis: We measure and compare against competitors
  • Long-Term Use: We use products over extended periods to assess durability
  • User Experience: We evaluate ease of use and overall satisfaction
  • Value Assessment: We determine if the product is worth the price

When We Don't Use Affiliate Links

There are situations where we intentionally avoid affiliate links:

  • Negative Reviews: We don't earn from products we don't recommend
  • Outdated Products: Products that are no longer available for purchase
  • Competitor Products: When we're comparing against products we can't earn from
  • User Requests: When readers specifically ask for non-affiliate options

How to Identify Affiliate Links

We make it easy to identify affiliate links:

  • Clear Labeling: We often mention when a link is an affiliate link
  • URL Structure: Affiliate links typically contain tracking parameters
  • Transparency: We're open about our affiliate relationships
  • This Page: You can always refer back to this disclosure

  • Visit Retailer Sites: Go directly to manufacturer or retailer websites
  • Use Price Comparison Tools: Find the best prices across multiple retailers
  • Shop Locally: Support local businesses when possible
