Affiliate Disclosure

How this site pays for itself, including the conflict of interest that comes with the territory.

The disclosure

Some outbound links on CampaignMath may be affiliate links. If you follow one and go on to subscribe to or buy the product, CampaignMath may receive a commission from that company at no additional cost to you. This disclosure is made in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and testimonials. At the time of writing no affiliate link is live on the site; this page states the policy that applies when one is.

The conflict worth naming first

In this subject area the companies that could pay a commission are frequently the same companies competing for the same search results — marketing software vendors publish calculators and explainers precisely because it brings them customers. That is an unusual structure and it is worth stating plainly rather than leaving for a reader to work out: a page here could, in principle, be shaped to send traffic to whoever pays best.

The defence against that is not a promise. It is that every formula is printed on the page that uses it, every worked example is asserted by a test, and no page publishes a benchmark figure at all. A recommendation bent toward an advertiser would have to survive arithmetic the reader can redo, and there is no soft claim about industry norms available here to hide it in.

Where those links appear

Affiliate links appear only in clearly labelled recommendation sections and on the marketing stack tools page. They never appear inside a tool, inside a result, or anywhere they could be mistaken for part of the arithmetic.

What a commission does not affect

It does not affect any number this site produces, and it does not affect your price — affiliate pricing is the same as going direct.

What is not published here

No commission rate, cookie window, or payout figure appears anywhere on this site. Those terms change, and repeating a number found in a directory rather than confirmed first-hand would be exactly the kind of unsourced claim the rest of the site refuses to make. If that information ever becomes relevant to a reader's decision, it will be published only once it has been confirmed directly.

How recommendations are chosen

A tool is listed because it solves a problem the arithmetic on this site has just shown you have, not because it pays the most. Where the right answer is to buy nothing, that is said plainly, including when saying it earns nothing — the tools page opens by recommending you buy nothing in the first month.

The tools stay free

Commissions exist so the tools can stay free, ad-free, and account-free. If you would rather not use an affiliate link, going directly to the company's site works exactly the same for you.

Asked often

Affiliate Disclosure: questions that come up

Does using an affiliate link cost me more?

No. The price is identical whether you use the link or go directly to the company's website.

Are the results influenced by advertisers?

No. Every formula is printed on the page that uses it, so a result bent toward an advertiser would be visibly wrong to any reader who checked it.

Are any affiliate links live right now?

No. Every partner entry on the site is configured without a tracking URL, and an entry without one is not rendered on any page.
