Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 18, 2025
We Earn Commissions
When you buy through our links, we may earn a small affiliate commission from the retailer.
No Extra Cost to You
Affiliate commissions are paid by the retailer, never by you. You always pay the same price.
Editorial Independence
Our product rankings and reviews are never influenced by affiliate relationships.
FTC Required Disclosure
Pursuant to the FTC's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising: Top10Best participates in affiliate marketing programs. We may earn advertising fees, commissions, or other forms of compensation when you click links to products or services and subsequently make a purchase. This compensation may impact how and where products appear on our site.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special URLs that track whether a visitor to a retailer's website came from our site. When you click an affiliate link on Top10Best and complete a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission as a referral fee.
This commission comes entirely from the retailer's margin — it does not add any cost to your purchase. You pay exactly the same price whether you click our link or go directly to the retailer.
Which Affiliate Programs Do We Use?
Top10Best participates in affiliate programs operated by the following types of companies:
- Amazon Associates: For products sold on Amazon.com
- Direct Brand Programs: Some brands operate their own affiliate programs through platforms such as ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, Impact, or Rakuten
- Retail Networks: We may participate in programs from major retailers including Best Buy, Walmart, and others
How Affiliate Income Supports Top10Best
Affiliate commissions are the primary way we fund our operations. This income allows us to research and test products in real-world conditions, pay our team of specialist reviewers, maintain and improve our website, and keep all our content free for readers.
Our Commitment to Editorial Independence
We take editorial independence extremely seriously. Here is our firm policy:
We never accept payment to rank a product higher than it deserves.
We never exclude products from rankings because they lack an affiliate program.
Products are ranked based on performance, value, and user experience — period.
We disclose affiliate relationships clearly in our content.
If a product we currently recommend is surpassed by a competitor, we update our rankings regardless of commission rates.
