Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: [Month Day, Year]

Rankests.com (“Rankests,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to transparency with our readers. This page explains how we may earn money from links on this site.

We participate in affiliate programs

Some of the links on Rankests — including links in blog posts, tool pages, banners, and comparison content — are affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and go on to make a purchase, sign up for a service, or take another qualifying action, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Programs we currently participate in include:

• Amazon Associates — as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases made through Amazon links on this site.
• Hosting and software affiliate partners — we link to certain web hosting, SEO, and software tools through affiliate or referral partnerships.
• Third-party service promotions — occasional banner or in-content links to services (for example, tools related to AdSense approval, website building, or marketing) may also be affiliate links.

How this affects what you see

Affiliate relationships never determine our rankings, recommendations, or editorial opinions. We do not accept payment in exchange for a positive review, and we do not alter our free SEO tool results or rankings based on advertiser or affiliate relationships. Where a specific piece of content (such as a "best of" list or product comparison) includes affiliate links, we aim to base our recommendations on the tool's actual usefulness for SEO, not on commission rates.

Identifying affiliate links

We try to make affiliate links reasonably clear through context (for example, "sponsored," "affiliate link," or similar labeling near banners and promotional content). If you're ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, you're welcome to contact us and ask.

Your choices

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. You can search for and purchase the same products or services directly, and doing so will not affect your access to any of Rankests' free tools or content.
