BrakeTireGuide provides free articles, guides, and resources about car brake and tire maintenance. Running this site costs money – hosting, research time, and content production all add up. To keep everything free for you, we earn revenue through advertising and, in some cases, affiliate partnerships.
This page explains exactly how that works.
How We Earn Revenue
Google AdSense Display Ads
We display advertisements on our pages through Google AdSense, a third-party advertising network operated by Google. These ads generate revenue based on impressions and clicks. The ads you see may be personalized based on your browsing history, or they may be general ads depending on your cookie preferences.
Affiliate Links
Some of our articles contain affiliate links to products or services. When you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose all material connections between BrakeTireGuide and any product or service mentioned on this site. Any article containing affiliate links will include a disclosure notice.
What This Means for You
Clicking an affiliate link does not add any extra cost to your purchase. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer’s website.
We only include affiliate links to products and services that we believe offer genuine value to our readers. If we wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending something to a friend, it won’t appear on this site.
Our editorial content is independent. Affiliate relationships have zero influence on what we write, how we rate products, or what we recommend. We will call out a product’s weaknesses just as readily as its strengths, regardless of any affiliate arrangement.
Google AdSense
Google AdSense is a third-party advertising platform that places ads on our pages. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ad Settings.
For more details on how Google handles data in advertising, see Google’s Privacy & Terms.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Articles that contain affiliate links will include a disclosure statement, typically near the top of the article or within the relevant section. In many cases, affiliate links are also identified inline so you know before you click.
If you’re ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, feel free to reach out to us.
