Transparency
Affiliate disclosure
A directory about affiliate marketing should be especially honest about how it makes money. Here is exactly where we stand.
The short version
Affiliate Program HQ is an independent research directory. We are a directory about affiliate programs — we list and compare them. The outbound links on program pages go to each merchant's official program page so you can apply. Those links are marked nofollow and we do not currently earn a commission when you click them or sign up.
How the site may be funded
Like most independent publishers, this site may display advertising and may, in future, join some of the affiliate programs we cover. If and when we do, we will disclose it clearly on the relevant pages, in line with FTC guidance. Nothing about how we present terms would change: our value is accurate, source-linked data, and compromising that would destroy the very thing you're reading this for.
Editorial independence
Our selection and ordering are driven by verifiable terms — commission size, cookie window, recurring potential — never by payment. We do not accept payment for placement, we do not fabricate ratings or reviews, and a merchant cannot buy a better listing. Programs we could not verify are shown with their unknowns intact rather than dressed up.
No endorsement implied
Listing a program is not an endorsement. We are not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any merchant or network listed here. Trademarks belong to their owners. Always read a program's official terms before joining.
