What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a type of performance-based marketing in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor, lead, or customer brought by the affiliate's own marketing efforts.
How Does Affiliate Marketing Work?
Affiliate marketing works by using unique tracking links. When a visitor clicks on an affiliate link, a cookie is placed on their computer. This cookie tracks the visitor's activity on the retailer's website. If the visitor makes a purchase, the affiliate will receive a commission.
What are Google Ads and Display Ads?
Google Ads and display ads are types of online advertising that allow businesses to promote their products or services on websites and other online platforms. Google Ads are text-based ads that appear in search engine results pages (SERPs). Display ads are image-based ads that appear on websites and other online platforms.
Why Do We Use Affiliate Marketing, Google Ads, and Display Ads?
We use affiliate marketing, Google Ads, and display ads to help us cover the costs of running our website. We also use affiliate marketing, Google Ads, and display ads to generate income that we can use to invest in new content, quality research and features for our website.
Do You Only Recommend Products That You Have Personally Used?
We do our best to only recommend products that we have personally used and that we believe in. However, we cannot personally test every single product or service that we recommend. In some cases, we may recommend products that we have not personally used, but that we believe are worth recommending based on our research and the feedback of other users.
Are Your Recommendations Biased?
We strive to provide our readers with honest and unbiased product recommendations. We do not accept payment for positive reviews. However, we do earn a commission if you click on a link on our website and make a purchase. This commission may influence the products that we recommend, but we always strive to put the needs of our readers first.
