How we make money

Current commercial status and the disclosure approach for future affiliate relationships.

Current edition

No affiliate offers, paid placements, or sponsorships are currently active. Provider links are citations to public documentation. There is no commission-based ranking.

Future affiliate links

If an approved partnership is added, affected links must carry a nearby affiliate disclosure and sponsored link attributes. Eligibility, the destination, and relevant terms must be verified. A commission may be earned if a reader takes a qualifying action.

Disclosure wording

For a future paid link: “Paid link: we may earn a commission if you open an account or buy through this link.” Place this before or beside the relevant call to action. Sponsored articles and videos require a clear advertising label; a footer policy alone is insufficient.

Payment arrangements and their effect on selection or placement must be explained for each comparison. Any extra-cost claim must be verified with the partner. In videos, disclose the relationship visibly and verbally when the endorsement is both visual and spoken, and place the written disclosure before description links.
