1. Our Commitment to Transparency
At Top10PX, we believe in full transparency with our readers. Trust is the foundation of every recommendation we make, and we want you to understand exactly how our site operates and generates revenue. This Affiliate Disclosure explains our relationships with affiliate partners so you can make informed decisions about the products you purchase through our links.
Bottom line: We will never recommend a product we wouldn’t use ourselves or recommend to a friend. Our integrity matters more than any commission.
2. How Affiliate Links Work
An affiliate link is a special URL that contains a unique identifier tied to Top10PX. When you click on one of these links and make a purchase from the retailer, we may earn a small commission — at no additional cost to you. The commission is paid by the retailer as a thank-you for referring a customer.
Here is a simple example:
A tracking cookie is set in your browser
Within the cookie window (usually 24 hrs – 30 days)
The retailer pays us, not you
Note: The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer. In some cases, we may even have access to exclusive discounts that save you money.
3. FTC Compliance
Top10PX operates in full compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). The FTC requires that we clearly disclose any material connection between our site and the products or services we recommend — including financial relationships such as affiliate commissions.
To meet these obligations:
- Every page that contains affiliate links includes a clear and conspicuous disclosure near the top of the content.
- Individual affiliate links may be marked with cues such as a small tag, icon, or clarifying text.
- This dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page is accessible from every page on the site via the footer.
4. Our Affiliate Partners
Top10PX participates in affiliate programs with a variety of reputable retailers and networks. These partnerships allow us to earn commissions on qualifying purchases. Our current and past affiliate partners include, but are not limited to:
The specific partners and programs we work with may change over time. This page will be updated as our partnerships evolve. Regardless of the partner, our commitment to honest, unbiased recommendations remains unchanged.
5. How This Affects Your Purchase
There is zero impact on the price you pay. Whether you click through our affiliate link or navigate directly to Amazon, Walmart, or any other retailer, the product price is identical. The commission comes out of the retailer’s marketing budget — not your pocket.
- Same price — You pay exactly what you would pay by going to the retailer directly.
- Same shopping experience — You complete your purchase on the retailer’s own secure website.
- Same return policies and warranties — All standard retailer protections apply.
- Potential bonus: We sometimes secure exclusive reader discounts or promo codes.
6. Why We Use Affiliate Links
Creating high-quality, well-researched content takes significant time and resources. Our team spends countless hours researching products, comparing features, reading user reviews, and testing items to bring you reliable top 10 rankings. Affiliate commissions allow us to:
- Keep our content 100% free for all readers — no paywalls, no subscriptions, no premium tiers.
- Invest in better research — purchasing and testing products firsthand so our reviews are grounded in real experience.
- Maintain and improve the site — hosting, development, security, and design all require funding.
- Support our team — compensating writers, editors, and researchers who create the content you rely on.
7. Our Review Policy
Our editorial integrity is not for sale. We maintain a strict separation between our content and our monetization. Here is how we ensure honest, unbiased reviews:
Rankings Are Based on Merit
Products are ranked based on a combination of hands-on testing, user reviews, expert analysis, feature comparison, value for money, and brand reputation. Commission rates never influence where a product lands in our rankings.
We Don’t Accept Payment for Placements
Manufacturers and brands cannot pay to be included in our lists or to receive a higher ranking. Placement in our top 10 is earned, not bought.
We Disclose All Material Relationships
If we receive a free product sample for review purposes, we disclose it clearly in the relevant article. Transparency is non-negotiable.
Content Is Regularly Updated
Products change, new models launch, and prices fluctuate. We revisit and update our reviews regularly to ensure they remain accurate and useful. Outdated recommendations help nobody.
8. Identifying Affiliate Links on Our Site
We want you to always know when a link is an affiliate link. Here is how to spot them:
- Disclosure banners: At the top of articles containing affiliate links, you will see a disclosure statement such as “This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you.”
- Link behavior: Many affiliate links redirect through a tracking URL before reaching the final retailer page. You may notice intermediary URLs in your browser’s status bar when hovering over a link.
- Product buttons and CTAs: “Check Price,” “Buy on Amazon,” and similar call-to-action buttons throughout our reviews are typically affiliate links.
When in doubt, assume that any link pointing to a retailer or product page is an affiliate link. We use them broadly so we can continue providing free, high-quality content.
