Speak MMA participates in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a way for sites to earn referral fees by linking to external retailers, including the Amazon Associates Program and other affiliate networks.
What this means
When you click some of the product links on Speak MMA — typically in our gear roundup pages — and complete a purchase on the retailer’s site, we may receive a small commission from that retailer at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be if you had visited the retailer directly.
These commissions help us pay for hosting, research time, and the people who write and maintain the site.
How it affects our recommendations
We make editorial decisions about what to recommend based on product research, user feedback from training communities, and — where we have it — direct experience from our team. We do not accept payment from brands in exchange for inclusion or favourable coverage. A product earning us a commission is not a reason to recommend it, and a product not having an affiliate program is not a reason to leave it out.
If a brand has paid for placement or provided a free product for review, we say so clearly within that article. Our standing position is that we’d rather lose the commission than recommend something we wouldn’t pass on to a training partner.
Amazon Associates
Speak MMA is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.
