How the affiliate links here work

A disclosure, not a list. The tools live on the sites that use them.

Written for anyone trying to make sense of a world built to persuade them.

Some links on these five sites pay me a commission if you buy after clicking them. Each one says so where it sits, and each goes through a page of its own on this domain that names the tool, says what the programme pays or that it pays nothing yet, and then waits for you to click. Nothing moves until you do. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Every category lists more than one tool, and the income per tool is small, so there is no motive here to push an expensive one, or one over another. I am paid by the links and impartial in practice, and which tool you end up with is not a big thing to me.

The tactics are the maker's, not mine. Where a page here compares tools, it says what each does well and badly and leaves the how-to to that company's own guide, so you get their workflow in their words and can see where the approaches differ.

I wrote this disclosure first in 2022, on the first page of a site about traffic and offers: there are affiliate links throughout, I get a commission if you sign up through one, and you should feel free to sign up to every link you can find. The wording has not needed to change.

The tools themselves are on the sites that use them: Traffic + Offer, Opportunity + Authority and 4 Quadrant AI. The Trust Algorithm has no tools page, on purpose; its pages link only the books they draw on. How these pages are made, links included, is at /ai/.
