Affiliate Networks We Participate In
We work through established affiliate networks that track clicks and purchases between your visits to our site and retailer websites. These networks include Awin, CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), LinkConnector, Rakuten Advertising, and Sovrn Commerce, in addition to the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program disclosed above. When you follow an affiliate link from our site, one of these networks may place a cookie in your browser so the partnering retailer can credit us with the referral. You can disable these cookies at any time through your browser settings or via the Cookie Preferences link in our footer. Neither the networks nor the retailers receive any personally identifiable information from us.
When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
What We Do Not Accept
We do not — and will not — accept payment, sponsorship, referral fees, affiliate commissions, or any other compensation from dealerships, dealer groups, franchised or independent auto/RV retailers, or vehicle manufacturers (OEMs). Dealers Who Earn It is an unpaid editorial list. No dealership, dealer group, or OEM may pay for inclusion, placement, or favorable treatment anywhere on this site. This firewall is central to how Real Talk Media Group operates.
How Affiliate Relationships Affect Editorial
We compare and explain the consumer products listed above; we do not publish “best of” rankings for categories where we earn affiliate revenue. Every provider we cover is given a named strength and a named weakness. Commissions never influence whether a provider is covered or how it is described. If a provider’s behavior changes in a way that makes us unwilling to recommend them, we update or remove the coverage regardless of commission implications.
