J-Pedia

How We
Make Money

J-Pedia is free to read and has no ads. Some of the links we publish are paid links. This page explains exactly how that works.

THE SHORT VERSION

Some outbound links on J-Pedia are affiliate links. If you click one and then book or buy something, the merchant may pay us a small commission. This never changes the price you pay — the commission comes out of the merchant’s margin, not your pocket. Pages and links with paid links show a short notice near the top of the page, and the links themselves are marked “Ad”.

DOES THIS AFFECT WHAT YOU RECOMMEND?

No. Whether a merchant has an affiliate program never decides what we write about, how we rank something, or whether we recommend it. We pick what to cover first and look for a relevant affiliate program afterwards — not the other way around.
