Affiliate Disclosure
Straight disclosure. No dancing around it.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links — if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.
How This Site Earns Revenue
Back 40 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.
We also display ads through Google AdSense on some pages. These ads are clearly separated from editorial content.
These revenue sources allow us to keep creating in-depth guides, product reviews, and how-to content without charging readers.
What This Means for You
- You pay the same price whether you use our links or not. Commissions come from Amazon's margin, not your pocket.
- Recommendations are included because they're useful on real property, not because they pay the most.
- If something stops being worth the money, it stops being recommended — regardless of commission rate.
- Every page with affiliate links includes a disclosure notice at the top.
Our Editorial Standards
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. Our opinions are our own. We recommend products based on:
- Firsthand use on our own properties
- Durability and value for money
- Whether we'd buy it again with our own cash
We don't accept free products in exchange for reviews. If that ever changes, it'll be clearly disclosed.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
