ARYXGuide participates in affiliate marketing programs. This page explains what that means, which programs are involved, and how affiliate relationships affect what gets written on this site. Reading this page will give you a clear picture of how the site works financially.
Some links on aryxguide.site are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase or sign up for a service, ARYXGuide may earn a commission. The commission comes from the company whose product or service you bought, not from you. The price you pay is the same whether you use an affiliate link or go directly to the site yourself.
This is how part of the site's operating costs are covered. Researching tools, writing long-form guides across three different content areas, and keeping content updated takes time. Affiliate commissions, alongside display advertising, are what make that sustainable without putting content behind a paywall or charging for access.
ARYXGuide participates in affiliate programs across all three content areas the site covers.
For the AI Guide section, this includes affiliate programs from SaaS products, AI tools, SEO software, web hosting services, and online course platforms. For the Health and Beauty section, this includes programs from skin care brands, supplement companies, and wellness product retailers where applicable. For the Study section, this includes programs from online learning platforms, productivity tools, and certification course providers.
Specific affiliate relationships change over time as new programs are added or existing ones end. Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Links to research sources, reference materials, or tools mentioned in context without a formal program attached are standard links with no commission involved.
The short answer is that they should not, and here is the specific way I try to make sure of that.
The starting point for any recommendation on this site is whether the product or service is actually useful for what it claims to do. I research and test what I cover. If something has an affiliate program and I think it is worth recommending, I join that program. But the recommendation comes first. I do not find affiliate programs and then build content around them.
I have written critical coverage of products that have affiliate programs. I have passed on recommending tools I have been approached about because they were not good enough to recommend honestly. I have given straightforward coverage to things with no affiliate program at all. The affiliate relationship follows the editorial judgment, not the other way around.
That said, I am one person with my own perspective and the usual blind spots that come with that. If a recommendation does not hold up when you try it, I want to know. The contact form is there for exactly that kind of feedback, and it gets taken seriously.
The Federal Trade Commission requires that websites disclose material connections between publishers and the products or services they recommend. This page is that disclosure for ARYXGuide. In addition to this page, affiliate links within articles are identified where applicable so readers know before they click.
This disclosure applies across the entire site, covering all articles, guides, reviews, comparisons, and other content published on aryxguide.site regardless of which content section it belongs to.
Occasionally, ARYXGuide may publish content where a company has paid for coverage of their product or service. When that happens, the content is labeled clearly as sponsored. Sponsored content is held to the same accuracy standards as everything else on the site, but the commercial relationship is always disclosed upfront rather than buried at the end.
Using an affiliate link on this site costs you nothing more than going directly to the product's website. In some cases, affiliate partnerships include exclusive discounts or deals that are actually cheaper than the standard price. Where those exist, they are noted in the relevant content.
If you want to know whether a specific link or recommendation on this site involves a commission, use the contact page and ask. The answer will be straightforward.
