Affiliate Disclosure.

Every affiliate review site on the internet has one of these pages, and almost none of them are worth reading. They're usually a paragraph of boilerplate that tells you affiliate links exist and nothing else. That's the legal minimum. This isn't that.

What's below is a complete accounting of the commercial relationships this site has, how they work in practice, which products they apply to, and how they're structured so that affiliate revenue doesn't influence what gets reviewed or how it gets rated. If something here is unclear, email jeff@jeffsreviews.com and I'll clarify — and if the clarification is useful, I'll add it to this page.

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and buy something, I earn a commission. You pay the same price either way; the merchant pays me a percentage. That commission is the only way this site makes money — there's no paid content, no sponsored posts, no ads, no newsletter paywall.

The most important thing to understand: affiliate revenue does not determine which products get reviewed or how they're scored. A review's score is based on how the product actually performed in testing. Some of the highest-scoring products on this site have the lowest affiliate payouts. Some of the products in the Graveyard were on the most lucrative affiliate programs available. The proof of this is in both directions — every review on the site, and every entry at /graveyard.

If you want to skip the details, that's the summary. The rest of this page is the specifics.

Jeff's Reviews participates in the following affiliate networks and direct partner programs. Each network represents a set of merchants whose products may be reviewed or referenced here, and whose links may pay me a commission:

• Amazon Associates — the Amazon affiliate program. Applies to almost any product with an Amazon listing. Commission rates vary by product category and range from roughly 1% to 8%. This is the most common affiliate network on the internet and the default fallback for products available on Amazon.
• ShareASale — an affiliate network aggregating hundreds of direct-to-consumer brands. Applies to a wide range of gadgets, apparel, home goods, and lifestyle products.
• Impact — similar to ShareASale; a network aggregating DTC brands, often including premium gadget, fitness, and software brands.
• CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction) — another multi-brand affiliate network covering a broad range of categories.
• ClickBank — an affiliate network that predominantly hosts digital products and direct-response supplements. Commission rates are often higher than other networks (30% to 75% is typical) because many ClickBank offers are sold by independent vendors with aggressive margins. When I review a product available through ClickBank, the commission structure is disclosed within the review itself, and the product is held to the same testing and scoring standard as products on any other network.
• GiddyUp — a premium affiliate network specializing in direct-to-consumer physical products across health, home, sleep, fitness, and grooming categories. Commission rates vary by merchant.
• DFO (Digital Fitness Offer networks and similar CPA networks) — cost-per-action networks that may apply to certain supplement or fitness products. When used, these are disclosed in the same review as any other affiliate relationship.
• Direct partner programs — some merchants run their own affiliate programs outside of the networks above. These are used when a product is reviewed whose merchant offers only direct partnership.

This list is current as of the "last updated" date at the top of this page. When a new network is added or an existing relationship ends, this page is updated within 14 days and noted in the changelog at the bottom.

Every affiliate link on this site uses rel="sponsored nofollow" — a pair of HTML attributes that signal to both search engines and browsers that the link is a commercial relationship. This is the current standard required under the FTC's "clear and conspicuous" disclosure rule (16 CFR Part 255) and the tag convention recommended by Google's link attribution guidelines.

In addition, every review page that contains affiliate links displays a visible disclosure banner at the top of the page, above the fold, in the same language as the article. That banner states plainly that the page contains affiliate links and that a commission is earned on qualifying purchases.

What this means in practice: if a link on this site could earn me money, you will be told so, on the same page as the link, before you click it. There are no hidden affiliate links, no redirect chains that obscure the commercial relationship, no "we may earn a commission" language buried in a footer.

The commission structure of this site is simple: affiliate revenue is the only source of income. There is no paid advertising, no sponsored content, no paid newsletters, no courses, no consulting, no sponsored social media posts, no "as seen in" paid placements, no pay-to-play review inclusion in any listicle or comparison, and no revenue-sharing arrangement with any of the brands reviewed here.

What affiliate revenue covers: hosting, product purchases for testing, measurement tools, basic software subscriptions, and the time of the one person who runs the site.

What it does not cover and never will: any payment to influence what gets reviewed, what gets scored highly, or what gets recommended. If that relationship ever forms — if this site ever accepts a sponsorship, a paid placement, or any form of compensation tied to specific coverage — every page on the site affected by that relationship will carry a prominent disclosure naming the sponsor and the nature of the relationship. This is not a hypothetical good intention; it is a commitment binding under the Editorial Standards at /editorial-standards (Section 4).

Under the FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials (16 CFR Part 465, effective October 2024), the following statements are affirmative disclosures of review-generation practices on this site:

• Every review on this site is written by Jeff, the named author, based on first-hand testing of the product being reviewed.
• No review on this site is generated by artificial intelligence. The editorial AI usage policy is documented in full at /editorial-standards, Section 8.
• No reviews are purchased, solicited in exchange for payment, or obtained in exchange for free products, discounts, or other consideration from the brand whose product is being reviewed.
• No reviews from third parties — customers, "ambassadors," or other reviewers — are republished as if they were original editorial content.
• No fake or fabricated reviews appear on this site. If an error is identified in any review, it is corrected publicly at /corrections.

These statements are material disclosures of the site's review-generation practices, provided in compliance with 16 CFR Part 465.

A disclosure page isn't complete without acknowledging this: I can be wrong. I've been testing products seriously for a while, but every review reflects my experience with a specific unit of a product in a specific set of conditions over a specific window of time. Your experience may differ. A product I rated highly may not work for you. A product I buried may work great for someone whose situation is different from mine.

Nothing in any review on this site should be read as a guarantee. A review is one person's careful assessment. It is not medical advice, financial advice, legal advice, or any form of professional recommendation. Your own judgment, your own research, and — for anything with health or safety implications — your own consultation with a qualified professional should all apply before you buy anything based on a review here.

The standard disclaimer language for this is at /terms. This paragraph is just an honest statement of what a review is and isn't.

When you click an affiliate link on this site, the merchant (Amazon, a ShareASale partner, a ClickBank vendor, etc.) may set a cookie in your browser to track whether your visit leads to a purchase. That cookie is set by the merchant, not by this site, and it is governed by the merchant's own privacy policy — not ours.

Beyond those merchant-set cookies, this site's own use of cookies, analytics, and any other tracking technology is documented in full at /privacy. The privacy policy is the single source of truth for what data this site collects, how it's stored, and what rights you have over it. If there is any conflict between this page and /privacy regarding tracking, /privacy is the authoritative version.

If you want to block affiliate cookies specifically, you can do so in your browser settings. Using a privacy-focused browser or extension that blocks third-party cookies will prevent affiliate tracking from working, which means clicks to merchants will not be attributed to this site. That's a legitimate choice and this disclosure exists so you can make it informedly.

This page is updated whenever:

• A new affiliate network is added or an existing one is removed
• The structure of how this site makes money materially changes
• FTC guidance, state law, or platform rules change in ways that require new disclosure
• An error is identified on this page and corrected

Every update is logged in the changelog at the bottom of this page. Material updates also trigger a version-number bump on /editorial-standards, which references this page.

If you want to be notified when this page is updated, the easiest way is to subscribe to the newsletter at the bottom of the homepage — material policy updates are one of the few things that trigger a newsletter send outside of new reviews.

If anything on this page is unclear, if you've spotted a missed disclosure on a review page, if you believe a link is not properly marked, or if you have any question about the commercial structure of this site:

Email: jeff@jeffsreviews.com

Subject line: start with "Disclosure:" so I can flag it in my inbox. Replies within 48 business hours on weekdays. Genuine disclosure issues are handled with priority — if something is materially missing or incorrect, it gets fixed within 72 hours and logged at /corrections.

For formal legal inquiries (subpoenas, FTC notices, state attorney general communications), use the same email. Those are logged and responded to through standard legal channels.

This page exists because the FTC requires it and because I want you to have the full picture. Nothing here should be surprising — most of it is what an honest reviewer would write voluntarily. The specific language is there because specific language is what holds up when someone actually checks.
