How We Make Money

IoWidgets is a participant in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to retail partners.

When you click on product links on IoWidgets and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This is at no additional cost to you — the price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer.

Our Affiliate Partners

We are affiliated with the following programs:

• Amazon Associates Program — "As an Amazon Associate, IoWidgets earns from qualifying purchases."
• TP-Link Affiliate Program
• Best Buy Affiliate Program
• Philips Hue Partner Program
• Ring Partner Program
• Various other smart home brand affiliate programs

Editorial Independence

Here's our promise to you:

• We never accept payment for positive reviews. Every rating is based on our actual testing experience.
• Commission rates don't influence our recommendations. We often recommend products with lower commission rates because they're simply better.
• We disclose when products are provided for review. Even with review samples, our opinions remain our own.
• We include non-affiliate options. When a product isn't available through our affiliate partners, we still recommend it if it's the best choice.

Why Affiliate Links?

Running a thorough review site takes significant resources:

• Purchasing devices for long-term testing
• Maintaining testing environments
• Writing and editing detailed reviews
• Keeping content updated as products change

Affiliate commissions allow us to provide free, high-quality content without charging readers or cluttering the site with intrusive advertising.

Identifying Affiliate Links

Links to retailers on our site are affiliate links unless otherwise noted. When you see buttons like "Check Price on Amazon" or "Buy Now," those are affiliate links that may generate commission for us.

Questions?
