Affiliate Disclosure
This page explains how PickSuperb makes money, how that connects to the brands we cover, and what it does and doesn't change about our reviews. It also covers the shorter disclosure notice you'll see at the top of individual articles, this full page is the complete version of that notice.
Affiliate Links on This Site
Many of the links on PickSuperb are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer or brand. The price you pay is the same either way, affiliate commissions come out of the retailer's marketing budget, not your wallet. Some links on the site go to brands we have no commercial relationship with at all; we earn nothing from those, and we don't mark them differently because the content itself isn't affected by whether a link happens to be monetized.
How This Funds PickSuperb
Affiliate commissions are how this site stays running: research time, hosting, and the ongoing work of keeping reviews updated as brands and pricing change. We're upfront about that because readers deserve to know the business model behind a site before trusting its recommendations.
Our Network Relationship
PickSuperb is a publisher partner on AWIN, an affiliate marketing network. When you follow an AWIN-partnered link from this site and make a purchase, that sale may be attributed to PickSuperb through AWIN's tracking. AWIN maintains its own privacy policy governing how that tracking works, separate from PickSuperb's own policies.
Editorial Independence: What Affiliate Relationships Don't Buy
An affiliate relationship with a brand does not buy a favorable review, a higher score, or softer coverage of real problems. We've published reviews landing in the 6-to-7 range out of 10 for brands we have an active affiliate relationship with, and we'll continue to do that whenever the evidence points that way. Our reviews are built through structured research, direct comparison against competitors, and a review of independent customer feedback and complaint records, the full process is laid out on our Editorial Process page. Commission rates on a given brand do not factor into how we score it, and a brand with documented trust or fulfillment problems will see that reflected in its coverage regardless of whether an affiliate link is attached.
Sponsored Content
Occasionally, a brand pays directly for placement on the site. That's a separate arrangement from affiliate commissions, and any sponsored content is clearly labeled as sponsored at the top of the piece so it's never confused with an independent review.
Where You'll See a Disclosure
Beyond this page, individual articles that contain affiliate links carry a short disclosure notice of their own, placed near the top of the article or directly alongside the relevant links, rather than buried only here. That shorter notice links back to this full page for anyone who wants the complete picture.
Regulatory Compliance
This disclosure is written to follow the FTC's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), which require clear and conspicuous disclosure of material financial connections between a publisher and the brands it covers.

Per-Article Disclosure Snippet (for use on individual reviews)
Below are two versions of a short, reusable disclosure block. Both link back to the full Affiliate Disclosure page above rather than restating it. Use the standard version at the top of any article containing affiliate links; use the inline version right next to a specific affiliate link, button, or "Check Price" CTA where a full block would be too heavy.
Standard Version (place near the top of the article, below the title/intro)
Disclosure: This article contains affiliate links. If you buy through one, PickSuperb may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects our rating or what we recommend - see our full affiliate disclosure for details.
Short Inline Version (place next to a specific link or "Check Price" button)
Affiliate link - we may earn a commission. See our disclosure.
Implementation Notes
• Link the phrase "affiliate disclosure" (or "disclosure") in both versions directly to /affiliate-disclosure/
• Use the standard version once per article, near the top, not repeated after every link
• Use the short inline version sparingly, directly beside a prominent CTA button rather than every single text link in the body
• Keep the wording consistent across articles so readers recognize it as a standing disclosure rather than reading it fresh each time
