Affiliate disclosure

CPA Silk Road is free to read. It is paid for by affiliate commissions: when you follow a link to a tool and then buy a plan, the vendor may pay us a share of that sale. This page explains how that works and what it does not change.

Which links earn us money

Every link to a vendor's website goes through an address that starts with /go/, for example /go/keitaro/. Some of those links carry our affiliate ID, many do not. We use the same /go/ address either way, so you cannot tell from the link, and neither can the page you are reading: the review is written and published before any program is attached to it.

Links to documentation, research and other sources are ordinary links. They never earn us anything.

Search engines are told about this too: every /go/ link carries rel="sponsored nofollow".

What it costs you

Nothing. You pay the vendor's normal price. When a vendor gives our readers a discount, we say so on the page and name it as a discount, not as a reason to buy.

What money does not buy

• Placement. Nobody can pay to be listed, to be ranked higher, or to be removed. There are no sponsored positions on this site.
• Verdicts. Every tool review names concrete limitations. A commission does not remove them.
• Relations. When we say one tool is an alternative to another, or that a tool is used in a niche, that is an editorial judgement with a written reason, not a commercial one.

We also decline to earn from some categories at all. Cloakers and anti-detect browsers are explained on this site because affiliates need to understand them, but we do not take commissions for them.

Clicks we count

When you follow a /go/ link we record the click, without cookies and without storing your IP address, so we can see which pages are useful. The details are in our privacy policy.
