8similar is committed to full transparency about our business model and how we earn revenue. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.
1. What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking links that allow us to earn a commission when you click on them and make a purchase from a retailer. These commissions come from the retailer, not from you, meaning you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer's website.
2. How We Use Affiliate Links
The product links in our articles are affiliate links. When you click on these links and make a purchase:
- We may earn a small commission from the retailer
- You pay the same price as you would without using our link
- The commission helps us maintain and improve our service
- Your purchase supports our ability to provide free content
3. Our Affiliate Partners
We currently participate in the following affiliate programme:
- Amazon Associates
We may add additional affiliate partners in the future. If we do, we will update this page.
4. Our Product Recommendations
We take our product recommendations seriously. Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or product comparisons. We recommend products based on:
- Quality and value for money
- Genuine similarity to more expensive alternatives
- Positive customer reviews and ratings
- Our own research and analysis
5. Editorial Independence
Our editorial team operates independently from our business relationships. We do not allow retailers or brands to:
- Pay for positive reviews or featured placement
- Influence our product comparisons
- Control our editorial content
6. Amazon Associates Disclosure
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
8similar is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
7. Price and Availability
Please note that:
- Prices and availability can change at any time
- We display prices at the time of publishing, but they may not be current
- Always verify the final price on the retailer's website before purchasing
- We are not responsible for pricing errors or out-of-stock items
