FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials, Gold Tested makes the following disclosures:

How We Earn Revenue

Gold Tested is a participant in affiliate advertising programs. When readers click on product links on our site and make qualifying purchases, we may earn advertising fees or commissions from the retailer at no additional cost to the reader.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions. Products are selected for review, tested, and ranked based on our independent evaluation criteria. No manufacturer or retailer has editorial input into our reviews, ratings, or recommendations.

Our Process

• We purchase all products at retail price from the same stores available to consumers
• Products are evaluated before any commercial partnerships are established
• Negative reviews are published regardless of affiliate availability
• Rankings are determined by test performance, not commission rates
