Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 2026
Tradesman News may earn commissions when readers buy through some links. If a link is an affiliate link or a paid commercial placement, we aim to disclose that relationship clearly.
Affiliate Links
Affiliate links may pay Tradesman News a commission at no additional cost to the reader. Affiliate compensation does not turn a product into a recommendation by itself.
Material Connections
The FTC endorsement guidance focuses on material connections that could affect the weight or credibility of an endorsement. When we have a paid or affiliate relationship that a reader would not reasonably expect, we disclose it.
Editorial Standard
- Useful contractor fit comes before affiliate potential.
- Buying guides should explain tradeoffs and poor-fit cases.
- Vendor claims should be attributed and not presented as verified fact without support.
- Affiliate links should not replace source notes or practical evaluation criteria.
