Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: March 22, 2024

Affiliate Disclosure

This Affiliate Disclosure is provided by Pure Reviews ("we," "our," or "us") to inform you about how we make money through our website and content.

Pure Reviews is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on products purchased through our links to retailer sites. This affiliate disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of affiliate links and product reviews.

How Our Affiliate Partnerships Work

When you click on certain links on our website, they may direct you to a retailer's website through special tracking links. If you purchase a product after clicking one of these links, we may receive a commission or referral fee from that retailer at no additional cost to you.

Here's how the process generally works:

1. We review or recommend products on our site
2. You click on a link to that product on our site
3. That link takes you to the retailer's website (such as Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc.)
4. If you purchase that product (or in some cases, any product) on the retailer's site within a specified timeframe, we receive a small commission

These commissions help us fund the creation of high-quality content and maintain our website, allowing us to continue providing honest and thorough product reviews for our readers.

Our Affiliate Partners

We participate in affiliate programs with various companies, including but not limited to:

• Amazon Associates Program
• Best Buy Affiliate Program
• Walmart Affiliate Program
• Target Affiliate Program
• eBay Partner Network
• Rakuten Affiliate Network
• ShareASale Affiliate Program
• CJ Affiliate (formerly Commission Junction)
• Skimlinks
• Various direct brand affiliate programs

The specific commission rates vary by retailer and product category, typically ranging from 1% to 10% of the purchase price.

Our Editorial Integrity

While we do receive compensation through affiliate partnerships, we want to assure our readers that:

1. Editorial Independence: Our product reviews and recommendations are based on our honest opinions, research, and testing. We never accept payment in exchange for positive reviews.
2. No Additional Cost to You: Clicking on our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. You will pay the same price for a product whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer's website.
3. Transparency: We disclose our affiliate relationships prominently on our website to ensure you can make informed decisions about our recommendations.
4. Reader-First Approach: Our primary goal is to provide value to our readers through helpful, accurate, and unbiased content. We recommend products we believe in, regardless of whether we have affiliate relationships with the manufacturers or retailers.

Native Advertising and Sponsored Content

In addition to affiliate links, we may occasionally publish sponsored content or native advertising on our website. This content is always clearly marked as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" to distinguish it from our editorial content.

Sponsored content is produced by or in collaboration with a sponsor and may feature their products or services. While sponsors pay us to create and publish this content, we maintain editorial oversight to ensure it provides value to our readers.

Display Advertising

We may display advertisements on our website through various ad networks, including Google AdSense, Mediavine, and others. These advertisements are labeled as such and are separate from our editorial content.

Disclosure on Reviews and Buying Guides

Every review, buying guide, or article that contains affiliate links includes a disclosure statement at the beginning of the content to inform you that we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through our links.

These disclosures typically appear as:

"Pure Reviews may earn a commission when you purchase through our links. This doesn't affect our editorial independence or recommendations."

FTC Compliance

Our affiliate disclosure practices comply with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising. We strive to be transparent about our financial relationships with retailers and manufacturers to help you make informed decisions.
