What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a performance-based advertising model in which a publisher (like AlwaysBuyCheaper) earns a commission when a reader clicks a link and makes a purchase from a participating merchant. It is a widely used and FTC-regulated method of monetizing online content.
Our Affiliate Relationships
AlwaysBuyCheaper is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. We also participate in the Levanta affiliate network, which connects us with additional brand merchants.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that when you click an Amazon link on our site and complete a purchase, we may receive a small percentage of the sale price as a commission.
How Commissions Work
When you click an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, the merchant pays us a commission. You do not pay anything extra.The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the merchant's website. The commission is paid by the merchant as a marketing expense.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content, product rankings, or review scores. We do not accept payment for higher rankings, positive reviews, or featured placement. Our reviews are based on objective criteria including product specifications, real-world performance, user feedback, and value for money.
If we believe a product is not worth recommending, we say so—regardless of whether an affiliate link is available for that product. Our commitment is to our readers first.
Price Accuracy
We strive to display accurate, up-to-date pricing by monitoring Amazon and official brand stores continuously. However, prices and promotions can change at any time on the merchant's end. We recommend verifying the final price at the merchant's website before completing your purchase. AlwaysBuyCheaper is not responsible for price discrepancies or changes made by merchants after our content is published.
Your Trust Matters
We take our responsibility to our readers seriously. Affiliate revenue allows us to maintain our website, fund our testing process, and continue providing free, high-quality content. We are grateful for your support when you choose to use our links, and we remain committed to full transparency in all our practices.
