How We Make Money
How GearVetted makes money
GearVetted may earn from a qualifying Amazon purchase when a cornhole board or compound bow product-page link is used. That compensation does not sway a boats & water, sports & training, and yard games score, ranking, or editorial judgment, because every product is scored on merit before any affiliate link is attached.
How do Amazon Associates links work?
A cornhole board title or a compound bow button links to that product's page on Amazon.com using the site's Associates tag — a direct /dp/ASIN link, never a search or category page. Completing a purchase can earn this boats & water, sports & training, and yard games site a small commission at no extra cost to you. Amazon's required statement applies: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
How is scoring kept independent?
Scores for a cornhole board, a compound bow, and every other boats & water, sports & training, and yard games product are computed from published specifications first, then a link is attached — never the other way round. The 0-100 grade never moves because a link exists. The scoring formula is published on the Scoring Methodology page, including each criterion and its relative weight. Each product entry includes at least one documented drawback so readers can judge whether a product fits their specific situation rather than taking its aggregate rank at face value.
What do we refuse to do?
No payment moves a boats & water, sports & training, and yard games rank: a cornhole board's score and a compound bow's placement are fixed by the published specs, not by a commercial relationship, and we take no free product or sponsored placement to change them.
Is there any other revenue?
The Amazon Associates program is the sole boats & water, sports & training, and yard games revenue source today; should another affiliate or advertising relationship ever start, this page will name it here before it launches.
