Backyard Embers is an independent, reader-supported site. Here’s exactly how that works, in plain language.
How we may earn money
Some pages on this site link to products on Amazon and other retailers. If you click through and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. This is a standard affiliate arrangement, and it’s the only way this site makes money: no ads, no sponsored placements, no paid reviews.
Where things stand right now
We are not yet enrolled in the Amazon Associates program. Every Amazon link on this site currently points straight to Amazon with no affiliate tag attached, so no commission is being earned on those links today. We’re building out our research and recommendations first, and we’ll register once the site has a genuine, established audience. When that changes, we’ll update this page with Amazon’s required associate statement and make sure every relevant page reflects it.
What this doesn’t change
Whether or not a link happens to earn us anything has no bearing on our recommendations. We rank and describe products the same way regardless of commission rate, and we never display a static or scraped price or star rating — you’ll always see a plain price-band and a link to check the current price yourself.
