HealthyReads is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This page explains how our site makes money, how we identify affiliate links, and how our editorial decisions remain independent from our revenue sources.
How This Site Makes Money
1. Display Advertising
We display ads served automatically by advertising networks such as Google AdSense, based on the content of the page and your browsing profile. We receive a small payment when ads are shown or clicked. Ad placement does not influence which topics we cover or how we evaluate anything.
2. Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission. Our affiliate relationships may include the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program and other retail or health-product programs. We do not currently publish sponsored content, paid reviews, or brand-funded articles; if this changes, such content will be clearly labeled.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Articles containing affiliate links carry a disclosure notice near the top, for example: “This article contains affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.”
Our Editorial Firewall
- No advertiser influence on topics: Advertisers and affiliate partners have no say in what we write or what conclusions we reach
- No pay-to-play features: We do not sell product placements or featured spots
- Honest assessments: We include pros and cons, and we will not recommend something we believe is poor quality because it earns a higher commission
- Reader-first content: Our goal is to help readers make good decisions; revenue follows from serving readers well — not the other way around
A Note on Health Products
Where an article mentions supplements, devices, or other health products, that mention is educational, not an endorsement of medical benefit. Product claims are held to the same source standards as the rest of our content, and nothing we link to replaces advice from your health provider.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), HealthyReads discloses material connections between this site and companies whose products or services are mentioned — including affiliate relationships, free products received for review, and any paid relationships that might influence content.
