Full Transparency
Racing Rig Guide is committed to full transparency regarding our affiliate relationships. This page explains how we earn commissions and how it may affect your use of our website.
What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a way for websites to earn income by recommending products or services. When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the seller at no additional cost to you.
This is a common practice that helps content creators like us maintain and improve our websites while providing valuable information to readers.
Our Affiliate Relationships
Racing Rig Guide participates in the following affiliate programs:
- Amazon Associates
- Fanatec Affiliate Program
- Moza Racing Affiliate Program
This list is not exhaustive and may change over time as we partner with additional affiliate programs relevant to our content.
How Affiliate Links Work
When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase:
- No Extra Cost: You pay the same price you would pay if you went directly to the merchant's website
- Commission: We receive a small commission from the merchant for referring you
- Tracking: The merchant uses cookies or other tracking methods to attribute the sale to our referral
- Your Choice: Whether to click on affiliate links is entirely your decision
Our Editorial Independence
While we do earn commissions from affiliate links, we maintain strict editorial independence:
- Honest Reviews: Our reviews and recommendations are based on genuine research, testing, and analysis
- No Bias: We do not favor products simply because they offer higher commissions
- Reader First: Our primary goal is to provide valuable, accurate information to help you make informed decisions
- Transparency: We clearly identify affiliate links where possible
- Both Sides: We present both pros and cons of products, even those with affiliate partnerships
What We Recommend
Our product recommendations are based on:
- Extensive research and analysis
- Personal experience and testing when possible
- User reviews and feedback from the community
- Product specifications, features, and performance
- Value for money and overall quality
- Comparison with competing products
We only recommend products and services that we believe will provide value to our readers. If we don't think a product is worth buying, we won't recommend it, regardless of commission potential.
Identifying Affiliate Links
We make efforts to identify affiliate content on our website:
- Affiliate links may be marked with labels or icons
