The short version
Outbound links from PornMeter to the sites we rank are affiliate links. If you open a site through one of these links and spend money there, PornMeter may receive a commission from that site. This costs you nothing and is the way the directory is funded.
What affiliate money does not buy
Commissions have no input into the Meter Score or any ranking position. The scoring formula is fixed, documented on the methodology page, and identical for sites that pay commissions and sites that do not. Plenty of highly ranked sites in the directory pay us nothing at all; they are ranked exactly like everyone else.
How the links work
Affiliate links on PornMeter are marked with rel="sponsored nofollow" and routed through our /go/ redirect, which is excluded from search engines. Review links, category links and everything else that stays on PornMeter are normal internal links.
Why we disclose this on every review
Each review carries a one-line disclosure because we think you should know how a recommendation site makes money before you trust its recommendations. If a directory does not tell you how it is funded, assume the ranking is the ad.
