Affiliate Disclosure
Transparency is important to us. Here's how SportDeal.com earns revenue and how it affects (and doesn't affect) our content.
How We Earn Revenue
SportDeal.com is a participant in several affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by linking to retail partners. Specifically, we participate in:
- Amazon Services LLC Associates Program — an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
- REI Affiliate Program — we earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through our links to REI.com.
- Dick's Sporting Goods Affiliate Program — we earn commissions on qualifying purchases through our links to DicksSportingGoods.com.
- Bass Pro Shops Affiliate Program — we earn commissions on qualifying purchases through our links to BassPro.com.
We also display advertisements through Google AdSense, which generates revenue based on ad impressions and clicks.
What This Means for You
When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer. This comes at no additional cost to you — you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Editorial Independence
Our affiliate partnerships never influence our product rankings or recommendations. We select products based on:
- Product quality and performance
- Customer reviews and satisfaction
- Value for money
- Brand reputation and warranty
We frequently recommend products that offer lower commissions (or no commission at all) when we believe they are genuinely the best option for our readers. Our credibility depends on honest recommendations, and we take that responsibility seriously.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Product links on our site that lead to retailer websites (Amazon, REI, Dick's Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shops) are affiliate links. These links contain tracking parameters that identify SportDeal.com as the referring site.
