Top5soft participates in affiliate programs. When you buy a product through one of our links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Programs we participate in
We use mainstream affiliate networks including Amazon Associates, Impact, ShareASale, CJ Affiliate, and direct vendor programs. Specific networks active at any given time are listed in the link footer of individual reviews.
How affiliate links work
An affiliate link contains a tracking identifier that tells the merchant we referred you. If you buy within the merchant tracking window, we receive a commission – usually a percentage of the purchase. The price you pay is identical to what you would pay coming in through any other channel.
What it does not change
Editorial decisions, scoring, rankings, and recommendations are made independently of affiliate revenue. A product can earn our top recommendation with no affiliate program in place, and a product with the highest commission can be panned. The two functions of the site – editorial and commercial – are separated by policy and by reporting line.
Spotting affiliate links
Where required by FTC guidelines or platform rules, links are tagged with rel=”sponsored” or rel=”nofollow sponsored”. Articles with affiliate links also carry a short disclosure near the top.
