How YardVerdict makes money

How do Amazon Associates links work?

A deer fence title or a garden cart 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 fencing & barriers, gardening & growing, lawn power, outdoor cooking, and pools & spas 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 deer fence, a garden cart, and every other fencing & barriers, gardening & growing, lawn power, outdoor cooking, and pools & spas 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 fencing & barriers, gardening & growing, lawn power, outdoor cooking, and pools & spas rank: a deer fence's score and a garden cart'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 fencing & barriers, gardening & growing, lawn power, outdoor cooking, and pools & spas revenue source today; should another affiliate or advertising relationship ever start, this page will name it here before it launches.
