Money Rules

Active affiliate program

Amazon Associates is active (gymscience20-20). The site presents commissionable links with visible disclosure and rel="sponsored". Product coverage is selected by editorial fit, not by commission potential.

When a link can earn commission

The page must disclose the relationship close to the link and mark commissionable links according to search-engine and network requirements.

When an article discusses products

Recommendations should still explain tradeoffs, who should skip a product, warranty terms, room constraints, and known limitations.

When a merchant or brand contacts us

Access to specs, product data, or affiliate programs does not control editorial conclusions or ranking language.

Reader Signals

A visible disclosure near commissionable links when those links are active.

Clear separation between published facts, owner-feedback patterns, and editorial judgment.

No claim that a product was tested, purchased, or used unless the article documents that evidence.

No payment for positive coverage and no manufacturer control over conclusions.

The site may display third-party ads as it grows. Ad partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Editorial Independence

We do not accept payment for positive coverage.
