Affiliate Disclosure

Full transparency about how this publication is funded and how we protect editorial independence.

At Best Tarot Reading Online, we believe transparency is essential to trust. This page explains how we fund our operations, our relationships with the platforms we review, and the measures we take to ensure our editorial content remains independent and honest.

How We Make Money

Best Tarot Reading Online participates in affiliate programs with some of the platforms we review. This means that if you click certain links on our site and subsequently make a purchase on a partner platform, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This affiliate revenue helps fund our editorial operations, including the cost of testing platforms, paying for readings, and producing the independent reviews and guides on this site.

How This Does Not Affect Our Reviews

We maintain a strict separation between our editorial and commercial operations. Our review ratings, rankings, and editorial recommendations are determined solely by our four-factor scoring methodology and our hands-on testing experience. Specifically:

  • Rankings are not for sale. No platform can pay to improve its position in our rankings. Our scores are based exclusively on our evaluation criteria.
  • Commission rates do not influence ratings. A platform that offers a higher affiliate commission does not receive a higher score. Our editorial team does not know the commission rates when conducting evaluations.
  • We review platforms without affiliate relationships. Some platforms in our rankings may not have affiliate programs. They are included because they meet our quality standards, not because they generate revenue for us.
  • Negative reviews are published. We report the genuine weaknesses of every platform, including those with which we have affiliate relationships. You will find honest cons sections in every review.

Our Commitment to You

We understand that affiliate relationships create a potential conflict of interest. That is why we take the following measures to maintain independence:

  1. Editorial-first approach: Reviews are written before any commercial considerations are discussed. The editorial team evaluates platforms based on quality, not revenue potential.
  2. Published methodology: Our scoring methodology is publicly available so you can see exactly how we arrive at our ratings.
  3. Self-funded testing: We pay for all readings and platform subscriptions with our own funds. Platforms do not provide free credits or special treatment for our testing process.
  4. Regular re-evaluation: We update rankings quarterly based on fresh testing, ensuring that our recommendations remain accurate even if commercial relationships change.

Identifying Affiliate Links

Where possible, we identify content that contains affiliate links. When we reference a platform in our reviews, guides, and rankings, some of those references may be affiliate links. This does not change the price you pay; it simply means we receive a small commission if you make a purchase through our site.

Questions and Concerns

If you have questions about our affiliate relationships, editorial independence, or disclosure practices, we welcome your feedback. You can also learn more about our editorial standards on our about page or see our full evaluation process on our methodology page.
