Affiliate Disclosure

How we earn money and why it doesn't affect what we recommend

FTC Disclosure

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about every link, product, and recommendation on this site:

NestledHomeGoods participates in affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn a commission when you click on certain links and make a purchase. This comes at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

Amazon Associates Program

NestledHomeGoods 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. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

When you click on an Amazon link on our site and buy something within 24 hours, we receive a small percentage of the sale. This percentage varies by product category, typically between 1% and 10%. The commission rate does not influence which products we recommend.

How We Make Money

Running this site costs money, hosting, domain fees, product testing, photography, and the hundreds of hours we spend researching and writing. Affiliate commissions are how we cover those costs without charging readers, running intrusive ads, or accepting sponsored placements from brands.

The short version: you get honest, tested recommendations. We get a small cut if you buy something. Brands get a sale. Everyone wins, and nobody pays extra for it.

Why You Can Trust Our Recommendations

Our editorial process is completely independent of our revenue model. Here's what that means in practice:

  • We never accept payment from brands for favorable placement or reviews
  • Products are selected based on testing, research, and genuine quality, not commission rates
  • If a product earns a higher commission but performs worse in our tests, we don't recommend it
  • We regularly update articles to remove products that develop quality issues over time
  • Most products we test are purchased with our own money at retail prices

We'd rather you trust us and come back than make an extra dollar on a product we don't believe in. Long-term trust is worth more than a one-time commission bump.

Other Affiliate Programs

While Amazon Associates is our primary program, we may occasionally use links from other retailers if they offer a significantly better price or product availability. When we do, those links may also be affiliate links. The same rules apply: we only recommend products we'd buy ourselves, regardless of whether a commission is available.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on our site, a small tracking cookie is placed on your device. If you make a purchase within the cookie window (typically 24 hours for Amazon, varies by retailer), we receive a commission. The cookie does not collect personal information about you, it simply tells the retailer that you arrived from our site.

You can clear your cookies at any time through your browser settings. Using an affiliate link does not affect your browsing experience, your privacy, or the price you pay.
