Affiliate disclosure

How this site makes money, stated in full, because a ranking you cannot audit is worth nothing.

Paid placement in ranked lists

Positions one to six in any ranked list on this site are commercially available. Where a vendor holds one, it changes the order in which products appear on the page. It does not change whether a product is listed, and it does not change what the entry about that product says — including the criticism of it. Positions seven and below are editorial and are not for sale.

Every ranked list carries a disclosure directly above it saying so. We do not put that notice only in the footer, because a reader scrolling a ranking should not have to go looking for it.

Commission on outbound links

Some links to vendor websites are commercial. If you click one and go on to buy, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and the vendor cannot buy a better verdict with it.

Commercial links carry rel="sponsored nofollow", so search engines are told what they are as well as readers.

What money cannot buy

A vendor cannot buy inclusion in a category if the product does not belong there, cannot buy removal of criticism, cannot buy the removal of a competitor, and cannot review a page before it is published. Editorial change requests are accepted where a factual claim is wrong; they are declined where the disagreement is about our judgement.
