Affiliate Disclaimer:
The plain “everyone can understand version:”
In late 2009, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission issued a directive requiring that web sites that promote products for a commission reveal the nature of their relationship with the retailer. This makes good sense to us—we’ve been arguing for years that the majority of supplement review sites that claim to be impartial are simply promotional vehicles for the retailers, or for their affiliates.
We, of course, have always been up front about the fact that we earn commissions on a select few credible products and/or services. It is an entirely legitimate way to monetize and support the operation of this web site, and prevent us from having to move to a paid membership model—which would be counter-productive, since our main goal is to get this information into the “hands” of as many people as possible.
We do not, of course, receive physical products or cash directly in exchange for any reviews or posts you find on this site. Occasionally, a merchant will send us a product to sample/review, but we make it clear beforehand that the merchant will receive no special treatment for doing so (what we usually say is… “are you really sure you want to do this?).
We understand too, that you may believe a conflict of interest exists here. We invite you to review our materials, and then make that decision. You’ll notice that our recommendations are frank, honest, and reflective of reality. For instance, in a recent review of Biotivia’s BioForge, Elissa states…
“… Bio Forge looks like it could provide a modest boost to a fat loss program and assist with retention of lean body mass.
But the key word here is modest. NONE of these ingredients are new or “revolutionary”, after all. They’ve been used in supps before, so it’s not hard to get a handle on just what to expect from a formula like this.
Basically, someone who’s mildly zinc deficient (which is common enough) and has some surplus fat to lose will likely see some good, initial results with this product. But no one’s going to get big on it—and if you’re zinc-sufficient and already have some muscle on your frame, I doubt it’ll do much of anything for you… the effects will be subtle, at best.”
This is followed by a link where you can purchase the product, should you so desire. And yes, we would receive a small commission from such a purchase. But if you do buy the product, you are doing so on an accurate assessment of product’s abilities, based on a thorough analysis of the ingredient profile. No touting of outrageous hype. No “upselling” or exaggerating the benefits in order to earn a commission.
The fact of the matter is that it is not unethical to earn commissions on referred sales, provided those referrals are made in the best interests of your visitors.
If you still doubt our ethics and credibility, we invite you to review the list of companies that have used the threat of legal action in an attempt to have us change / remove our reviews.
We also feature ads on our web pages; each of our partners (Chitika and Google) automatically deliver these ads via complex algorityms according to each page’s content and information supplied by the visitor (i.e. your IP address).
Lastly, you should know some of the links on our web site are shortened or re-formatted for tracking and/or esthetic purposes. This is no way violates your privacy or threatens the security of your computer.
