Affiliate Disclosure

How affiliate links keep TechPulse Daily free.

Effective date: August 12, 2025

Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you click and buy, we may earn a commission—at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change our verdicts or the products we recommend.

How it works Editorial independence

We recommend fewer things—only what’s worth your money. Affiliate revenue helps us buy test units, run long‑term trials, and keep the site fast and uncluttered.

No paid placements in rankings
Clear labeling on affiliate links
Non‑personalized price tracking where possible

How affiliate links work

We test and recommend a product based on merit.
We include a normal link to a retailer. If available, we tag it as an affiliate link.
When you purchase, the retailer shares a small commission with us.

Affiliate programs use cookies or similar IDs for a limited time to attribute sales. See our Privacy Policy for consent options.

How we label links

You’ll see one of these near affiliate links:

Affiliate or We may earn a commission
Tooltip on hover explaining the relationship
“Buy at Retailer” buttons inside product cards

Non‑affiliate links are treated the same in our content (nofollow policies may apply for SEO hygiene).

Programs we participate in

Examples below; participation can change over time. Not all links are affiliate links.

Program	Purpose	Notes
Amazon Associates	Wide availability and fast shipping for common tech	We compare prices and link to alternatives when better
Best Buy Affiliate Program	Retail availability in many regions	In‑store pickup options for urgent needs
Adorama / B&H	Photography and audio gear	Often better bundles or warranties
Other direct brand programs	Occasional manufacturer storefronts	Used sparingly; same editorial rules apply

Editorial independence

No pay‑for‑placement in guides or rankings.
Review units: we prefer to buy our own. Loaners do not guarantee coverage.
Sponsored posts (rare) are clearly labeled and do not affect recommendations.
Corrections: we fix mistakes promptly and log substantial changes on the page.

Price fairness & availability

We avoid linking to overpriced sellers or scalpers. If a recommended product becomes poor value, we update our picks or add better alternatives.

We compare multiple retailers and note street prices.
International readers: we add regional links when possible.
Deals are marked with historical context (not just “% off”).

Ads vs. affiliate links

Affiliate links are part of our editorial content. Ads are separate placements served by advertising partners (e.g., AdSense) and are labeled as “Ad”. Ads do not influence our picks.

With your consent, ads may use cookies for measurement/personalization. Manage choices in our Privacy Policy.

At no extra cost to you

Using our links doesn’t increase the price you pay. In many cases we share the best available price or a coupon when allowed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you recommend products just to earn commissions?

No. Our process prioritizes usefulness, reliability, repairability, and long‑term support. If we wouldn’t buy it ourselves, we won’t recommend it.

Are all retailer links affiliate links?

No. Some are plain links. When a store doesn’t have a program (or the price isn’t good), we still link it if it’s best for readers.

Can I support you without buying?

Yes—share our guides, subscribe to the newsletter, or send feedback that improves our coverage.

Questions or concerns?

Reach us at [email protected]. We’ll respond within 2–3 business days.
