How SmartWired Earns Money
SmartWired participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that when you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
We may also participate in other affiliate programmes from time to time, including programmes operated by manufacturers and retailers of smart home products.
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. Our recommendations are based on technical merit, real-world performance, and value for money — not on commission rates.
- We never recommend a product solely because it earns a higher commission
- We include both affiliate and non-affiliate links in our content
- Negative reviews are published regardless of affiliate status
- All opinions expressed on SmartWired are our own
Identifying Affiliate Links
Affiliate links on SmartWired typically point to Amazon or other retailer product pages. They include our affiliate tag (e.g. tag=smartwired-20 for Amazon Associates). We include a disclosure note at the bottom of all articles that contain affiliate links.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships on all relevant pages. This disclosure applies to all affiliate links on smart-wired.com.
