Affiliate Disclosure

What affiliate links are

Some links on this site — especially Amazon "Check Price" buttons — are affiliate links. They carry a small tracking code that tells the retailer the visit came from us. If you make a purchase, the retailer pays us a percentage (typically 1–4% at Amazon, varying by category) as a thank-you for the referral. You never pay more for buying through our links; the price is identical either way.

Amazon Associates

DeskRig is a participant in the 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. As an Amazon Associate, DeskRig earns from qualifying purchases.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. DeskRig is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Amazon.

Other programs

We may also participate in other retailer affiliate programs from time to time. Every outbound shopping link on this site is marked with rel="sponsored" and rel="nofollow" for transparency to search engines and readers alike.

What commissions do NOT do

• They don't buy rankings. Our top picks are chosen by class quality, owner-review patterns and price-to-value — the commission rate has no seat at that table. In several guides our top pick earns less than an alternative we ranked lower.
• They don't add cost. Affiliate pricing is identical to direct pricing.
• They don't remove our honesty clauses. Every pick's "Cons" section is written by us, not supplied by anyone.
• They don't mean free products. We do not accept free gear, sponsored reviews or paid placements. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed on the specific page.

Other ways we might earn

Some pages may carry display advertising (for example, ad-network units in the marked ad slots) once the site qualifies. Advertising is visually distinct from editorial content and never determines what our guides say.
