1. Our Commitment to Transparency
At isitBOTTLENECKED, our primary goal is to provide accurate, unbiased, and genuinely helpful information to the PC building community. To keep our calculator and content free for everyone, we rely on various methods to cover our operational costs, including affiliate marketing. This disclosure explains our affiliate relationships and our commitment to maintaining your trust.
2. What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special URL that contains a unique tracking ID. When you click on one of these links on our site (for example, on our Shop page or within our content) and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission.
Importantly, this comes at absolutely no extra cost to you. The price of the product remains the same whether you purchase through our link or directly from the vendor's website.
3. Our Editorial Independence
Our reputation is built on trust and impartiality. Our product recommendations, reviews, and guides are the result of extensive research, analysis, and expertise from our team. We are not paid to provide positive reviews, and our opinions are our own.
The existence of an affiliate link does not influence the content we produce or the products we recommend. We only recommend hardware and products that we believe offer genuine value to our users. Our analysis and recommendations would be the same, with or without an affiliate program in place.
4. Affiliate Programs We Participate In
isitBOTTLENECKED participates in several affiliate programs, including but not limited to the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. These programs are designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to their respective platforms.
5. How You Support Us
By using our affiliate links to make purchases, you are helping to support isitBOTTLENECKED. This support allows us to continue funding the development of our tools, researching new content, and maintaining the website. We are incredibly grateful for this, as it allows us to keep our core services free for everyone.
