Affiliate Disclosure
Which links are affiliate links?
Currently, links pointing to Semrush (buttons and text links labeled "Visit Semrush") are affiliate links operated through the Impact affiliate network. Links to other tools mentioned on this site (Ahrefs, Moz, SE Ranking, Ubersuggest, Screaming Frog) are plain informational links — we earn nothing from them.
Every page that contains affiliate links also carries a visible disclosure box near the top of the page and near purchase buttons, so you never have to hunt for this information.
Does it affect our reviews?
No — and here's how we keep it that way:
- Our testing methodology and scoring are identical for every tool, whether we earn from it or not.
- Our rankings include tools we have no affiliate relationship with, placed purely on merit.
- Every review publishes genuine criticisms — price, limits, learning curve — including for tools we earn commissions from.
- No advertiser can pay for a ranking, a score, or the removal of criticism.
What does "no extra cost to you" mean?
The commission comes out of the vendor's marketing budget, not your wallet. You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor's site.
FTC compliance note
This disclosure follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials (clear and conspicuous disclosure of material connections). If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, contact us via the About page.
