Affiliate Disclosure — Walking-Pad.com

The short version: Walking-pad.com earns commissions when you buy products through our Amazon links. This costs you nothing extra. It never affects which products we recommend — we only recommend products we believe are genuinely good.

Amazon Associates Program

Walking-pad.com 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.

Our Amazon Associate tag is: Walkingpad04-203.

When you click a product link on our site and make a qualifying purchase on Amazon within 24 hours, we receive a small commission — typically between 1% and 8% of the purchase price depending on the product category. You pay the same price you would pay directly on Amazon. There is no surcharge or additional cost to you.

How commissions affect our recommendations

They don't — and here's why we mean that:

We frequently recommend budget products that earn lower commissions when they are the better choice for the reader.
We highlight product flaws, noise levels, and reliability issues even for products we link to.
We have never accepted payment from any brand to feature their products or improve their ranking in our guides.
Our editorial process (described in detail on our About page) is based on testing and research, not commercial relationships.

Our long-term credibility depends on giving you honest, accurate advice. If we steered readers toward bad products for a higher commission, we'd lose your trust — and our readership. Honesty is in our commercial interest as much as it is in yours.

FTC compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), which require clear disclosure of material connections between endorsers and the brands they discuss.

We disclose our affiliate relationship on every page where affiliate links appear, including at the bottom of every article and product review.

EU / GDPR compliance

For visitors from the European Economic Area: our affiliate tracking operates via cookies set by Amazon when you click a product link. These cookies track the referral for commission purposes only. Please see our Privacy Policy for full details on how we handle data.

No sponsored content

Walking-pad.com does not publish sponsored posts, paid reviews, or brand-funded content. If this ever changes, any sponsored content will be clearly labelled as such at the top of the relevant page.
