Advertiser Disclosure

Top5 Ratings is an independently owned website that provides product reviews and comparisons to help consumers make informed purchasing decisions.

We earn money through affiliate marketing. When you click on a product link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from that sale. This commission comes from the retailer or manufacturer, not from you.

Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. You pay the same price you would pay if you went directly to the retailer's website.

Our reviews and rankings are never influenced by affiliate compensation. Here's how we maintain editorial integrity:

• We research and test products before making recommendations
• Our rankings are based solely on product quality, value, and user feedback
• We will recommend products even if we don't earn a commission from them
• We will criticize products that have affiliate relationships if they underperform
• Advertisers cannot pay for placement in our rankings

Our goal is to help you find the best products. If we lose your trust, we lose our business. That's why maintaining honest, unbiased reviews is our top priority.

We participate in affiliate programs with various retailers and platforms, including but not limited to:

• Amazon Associates Program - We are 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
• Direct Brand Partnerships - Some manufacturers and brands offer affiliate programs directly
• Other Retail Affiliates - We may partner with other retailers and e-commerce platforms

When you click on a product link on our website:

1. You're taken to the retailer's website (like Amazon)
2. A small tracking code identifies that you came from Top5 Ratings
3. If you make a purchase, we receive a commission (typically 1-10% of the sale price)
4. You pay the exact same price as if you visited the retailer directly

This is how most product review websites generate revenue. It allows us to provide free content while keeping our recommendations honest and unbiased.

Our product rankings are determined by several factors, none of which include compensation:

• Product Quality: How well does the product perform its intended function?
• Value: Does the price match the quality and features offered?
• User Reviews: What do actual customers say about their experience?
• Expert Testing: Our hands-on evaluation of the product
• Brand Reputation: Track record of the manufacturer
• Warranty & Support: Customer service quality and coverage

To maintain your trust, we commit to the following:

• We never accept payment for positive reviews
• We never accept payment for specific ranking positions
• We never let advertisers influence our editorial content
• We never hide our affiliate relationships from readers
• We never recommend products we wouldn't use ourselves

In addition to affiliate commissions, we may display advertisements on our website. These ads are:

• Clearly marked as advertisements
• Separate from our editorial content
• Not factors in our product rankings or recommendations

Advertisers cannot influence the content of our reviews or the products we recommend.
