Affiliate Disclosure Statement
SmartBuyLabs participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions from purchases made through links on our website.
Transparency is important to us. This page explains how affiliate marketing works on SmartBuyLabs and how it affects our content.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links are special tracking URLs that allow us to earn a small commission when you make a purchase after clicking through from our website. These commissions come from the retailer or brand, not from you.
Important: Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Affiliate Programs We Participate In
SmartBuyLabs is a participant in various affiliate programs, including:
Amazon Associates Program
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
Other Affiliate Networks
We may also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers and brands in the tech, home, fitness, and lifestyle categories. These relationships are disclosed when relevant.
How Affiliate Commissions Work
When you click an affiliate link on SmartBuyLabs and make a purchase:
- You’re redirected to the retailer’s website
- The retailer tracks your purchase through our affiliate link
- We receive a small commission (typically 1-10% of the sale)
- You pay the exact same price as you would without our link
Our Editorial Independence
Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence our recommendations.
Here’s our promise to you:
✅ We recommend products based on quality, value, and merit – not commission rates
✅ We highlight both pros and cons in every review
✅ We’ll tell you when NOT to buy something if it doesn’t meet our standards
✅ We compare affiliate and non-affiliate products equally
✅ We update our recommendations when better alternatives become available
How We Select Products to Review
Our product selection is based on:
- Reader requests and interests
- Market trends and popular categories
- Products that solve real problems
- Items with strong verified customer reviews and ratings
- Thorough research of product specifications and features
We do not accept payment from brands to review specific products. Our reviews are independent and based on comprehensive research.
