Last Updated: February 26, 2026

1. Affiliate Relationship Disclosure

Important Notice: TopRankHarbor is a participant in various affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. These programs are designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to merchant websites.

When you click on certain links on our Site and make a purchase, we may receive a commission or referral fee at no additional cost to you. This helps us maintain and improve our free content.

2. How Affiliate Links Work

When you click an affiliate link on TopRankHarbor:

  1. You are redirected through our tracking system to record the click
  2. A cookie or tracking identifier is placed on your device by the merchant
  3. If you make a purchase within the tracking window (typically 24 hours to 90 days, depending on the merchant), we receive a commission
  4. You pay the same price - affiliate commissions do not increase your cost
