Affiliate marketing is a performance-based arrangement where a website earns a small commission when a reader clicks a link and makes a purchase. The commission is paid by the retailer or brand — not by you. You pay exactly the same price whether you arrive at a product page through our link or by typing the URL directly.

Think of it like a referral fee. If you ask a friend which chair they’d recommend and they point you to one, and that recommendation turns out to be accurate and helpful, you might thank them. Affiliate marketing is the commercial version of that — except we’re held to strict transparency rules that a friend isn’t.

Affiliate links are identified on ErgoDeskHub by the rel="nofollow sponsored" attribute in our HTML and by the visual “Check Price on Amazon” button format used throughout our reviews. Every article on this site that contains affiliate links also includes a short disclosure statement at the top of the page.

When you click an affiliate link on ErgoDeskHub, a tracking cookie is placed in your browser. If you make a qualifying purchase within the cookie window, we receive a commission from the retailer. Here is exactly how that works for each program we participate in:

Our commission rates vary by product category and retailer. Furniture and home office products on Amazon earn a 3% commission rate. Some direct brand programs offer higher rates of 5–10%. These differences in commission rate do not influence which products we recommend — a product earning us 3% will be ranked above a product earning 10% if it is the genuinely better product for our readers.

We track clicks and commission data using Pretty Links (our internal link management system) and each retailer’s affiliate dashboard. This data is used only to understand which content is most useful to readers — never to favor higher-earning products in our recommendations.

The following table lists every affiliate program ErgoDeskHub currently participates in. This list is updated whenever we add or remove a program.

Affiliate relationships only work long-term if readers trust that the recommendations are genuine. These are the non-negotiable principles that govern every piece of content we publish:

The following practices are common in affiliate publishing and represent conflicts of interest that compromise reader trust. ErgoDeskHub does not engage in any of them:

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that any material connection between an endorser and a brand be clearly disclosed to readers. A commission-based affiliate relationship is a material connection. This page, combined with per-article disclosures at the top of every article containing affiliate links, constitutes our compliance with these requirements.

In addition to FTC compliance, all Amazon affiliate links on ErgoDeskHub comply with the Amazon Associates Program Operating Agreement, including requirements around price disclosure (we use the AAWP plugin to display live prices via API rather than manually), link formatting, and prohibited content.

If you have any questions about this disclosure, want to verify a specific affiliate relationship, or believe we have violated our stated editorial principles, we want to hear from you. We take these issues seriously and will respond within 48 hours.
