Affiliate Disclosure.

Transparency is the currency of trust. Here is exactly how Earthly Abode makes money.

1. The Model

We are reader-supported. We do not accept payment for favorable reviews, and we do not display programmatic ads (Google AdSense) that clutter the reading experience.

Instead, we use Affiliate Links. If you click a link to Amazon, eBay, or a manufacturer's site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission (typically 1-4%) at no extra cost to you.

2. Amazon Associates Statement

Earthly Abode is 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.

3. The "Church & State" Separation

Our Editorial (Forensic Audit) team operates independently of our Revenue team.

• We audit the product first.
• We calculate the TCO second.
• We look for an affiliate link last.

If a product is statistically superior but has no affiliate program, we list it anyway. (See: various "Buy It For Life" cottage industry brands in our database).
