Advertising and Affiliate Disclosure
Gut Compass Reviews earns money from affiliate commissions. This page explains how that works, what it costs you and what it does not buy.
In one paragraph: some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, the seller may pay Gut Compass Reviews a commission. You pay exactly the same price — the commission comes out of the seller's margin, not your pocket. This is how the site is funded.
How affiliate links work here
We participate in affiliate programs operated by third-party affiliate networks and by the sellers of the products we review. When you click an affiliate link, the network records that the visit came from us. If you buy, the seller pays us a commission on that sale. Affiliate links on this site are marked in the code as sponsored, and the buttons that lead to a seller's order page are affiliate links.
We are not paid for simply mentioning a product, and we receive no payment from any manufacturer for writing a review.
What the commission does not buy
- It does not buy a place on this site. We choose what to review. No brand pays to be included.
- It does not buy a score or a verdict. The commission is the same whatever we conclude, so there is no financial reason to inflate anything.
- It does not buy silence. Recurring charges, refund conditions and claims we could not verify are reported in the review itself, not hidden in a footnote.
- It does not buy approval. No brand sees a review before publication, and none can have a published finding removed.
No free products, no sponsored posts
We do not accept free products, paid placements or sponsored articles in exchange for coverage. We do not take the products we review; our reviews are editorial analyses of public documents, and each one says so.
No testimonials or endorsements
We do not publish customer testimonials, and we do not present anyone as endorsing a product. We do not reproduce the ratings or testimonials that appear on a seller's own sales pages.
Where you will see this disclosure
At the top of every review, before the first affiliate link, and in the footer of every page on this site. We put it where you read, not where you would have to go looking for it.
Why we do it this way
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255) require that any material connection between a publisher and a seller — including a commission — be disclosed clearly and conspicuously, close to the recommendation it relates to. We follow that standard because it is the law, and because a reader who does not know how a site earns money cannot fairly weigh what it says.
