Honesty about how we make money matters. This page explains how TheViralKit earns revenue and our commitment to keeping reviews independent.

How affiliate marketing works on TheViralKit

TheViralKit is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we have agreements with merchants and affiliate networks that pay us a commission when a reader clicks our link and completes a qualifying purchase on the merchant's website.

Here is exactly how the process works:

1. We test and review products we believe genuinely deserve attention
2. Our reviews include affiliate links to merchants who sell those products
3. When you click an affiliate link, a tracking cookie or Sub-ID is recorded
4. If you complete a purchase within the cookie window (usually 7 to 90 days), the merchant pays us a small commission
5. You pay nothing extra. The price you see is the price you pay. The commission comes from the merchant's marketing budget.

Our editorial principles

These four rules guide every review on TheViralKit:

Affiliate networks and programs we work with

TheViralKit currently participates in or has worked with the following affiliate networks and programs:

This list is not exhaustive. We add new partnerships when we find products worth featuring and remove partners that no longer meet our standards.

FTC and global compliance

TheViralKit follows the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides for affiliate marketing. This means:

• We clearly disclose affiliate relationships wherever affiliate links appear.
• We use clear disclosure terms such as "Affiliate Disclosure", "Affiliate Links", or "Sponsored", where applicable.
• We use appropriate technical attributes on affiliate links where applicable.
• We avoid misleading language about pricing, urgency, or product claims
• We disclose material connections to brands and products

We also comply with the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the EU Digital Services Act, the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC) influencer guidelines, and India's Consumer Protection Act for digital influencers.

What affiliate links look like

You can identify affiliate links on our site by:

• A clear Affiliate Disclosure notice at the top of the page.
• Buttons labelled "Check Price", "Buy Now", "See Today's Deal", or similar
• Links that open in a new tab and lead to a third-party merchant
• Hover tooltips and rel attributes confirming "sponsored" or "nofollow"

What happens after you click

When you click an affiliate link, you are taken to the merchant's website. From that moment:

• You are interacting with the merchant, not TheViralKit
• The merchant's terms, privacy policy, and refund policy apply
• The merchant handles payment processing, shipping, and customer support
• TheViralKit is NOT the seller, payment processor, or fulfilment partner

If you have questions about a purchase, contact the merchant directly. Their contact details are usually on the order confirmation email or the merchant's website.

What we earn (and why it matters)

Commission rates vary by merchant and affiliate program. We earn a commission only when you make a qualifying purchase through our affiliate links. If no purchase is made, or if an order is cancelled or refunded, we do not earn a commission. Any commission we receive is paid by the merchant and never increases the price you pay.

The income from affiliate commissions funds:

• Product research, testing, and content creation.
• Editorial team salaries and freelance writers
• Website hosting, design, and development
• Photography, video, and content production
• Ongoing research into trending products and tech

Without affiliate revenue, this site would not exist. Thank you for supporting independent editorial.
