Disclosure
Rubrilyn is reader-supported in part by advertising and commercial relationships. This page states, in plain terms, how money flows and what it does and does not buy.
Sponsored placements
Some pages and sections of this site contain sponsored placements. Every sponsored placement is labelled "Sponsored" where it appears. A sponsored placement is paid advertising. It does not change our editorial rankings, our "best for" labels, or which products we choose to compare.
If a comparison article contains sponsored placements, the article states this near the top of the page, before the recommendations.
Affiliate links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are marked rel="sponsored" in the page code. We disclose affiliate relationships in the article where they appear.
Affiliate relationships do not affect our rankings. A product is included and ranked because it fits the buyer's stated needs under our published scoring criteria (see /how-we-score/), not because it pays us.
What money cannot buy
No vendor can pay for a position in a ranking, for a "best for" designation, for inclusion in a comparison, or for the removal of a con from a review. Editorial content is written by the Rubrilyn Editorial Team without vendor preview or approval.
Plain statement
In the spirit of the Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidelines: we may earn money from sponsored placements and affiliate links on this site. Those relationships never decide what we recommend. When we recommend a product, it is because our research concluded it was the best fit for the stated buyer under our published criteria.
If you have questions about a specific placement or link, contact us at /contact/.
