Directory
What we collect
Profiles may include an official website, partner sign-up URL, listing type, primary category, tracking software, payment cadence, payment methods, and a short editorial description. Information can come from public partner pages, historical directory records, a business submission, or an approved listing owner.
Fields are intended as a research starting point, not a guarantee of current commercial terms. Affiliate programs change frequently, so users should confirm eligibility, commissions, payment thresholds, geographic restrictions, and contractual details with the provider before joining.
Signals
Legacy ratings and community reviews are different
Many profiles preserve rating and review-count signals inherited from the original directory dataset. We label these as legacy rating and legacy reviews; they are directional historical signals and are not presented as newly verified AffiliatePeek reviews.
Community reviews submitted directly on AffiliatePeek are displayed in a separate section. They are moderated before publication and contribute only to the community-review aggregate shown in structured data.
Ownership
Claimed profiles and commercial placements
A claimed profile means AffiliatePeek approved an ownership request and the owner completed account activation. Owners can propose updates to their company information. Claim status does not constitute an endorsement.
Paid placements are visually labelled as sponsored or featured. Payment can affect placement and visibility, but it does not convert advertising into an editorial recommendation or change how community reviews are moderated.
Magazine
Source-led editorial reporting
Magazine articles link to the sources used for factual claims. Weekly market briefings prioritize recent first-party announcements, official documentation, regulatory publications, and credible industry reporting. Guides may also use durable primary sources when recency is not the central question.
Every published article includes a source list. Numbered citations beside claims point to that list, allowing readers and automated systems to inspect the evidence directly.
Automation
How AI is used
AffiliatePeek uses OpenAI-assisted research and drafting in parts of its editorial workflow. Automated checks test source count, recency, duplicate coverage, and whether cited URLs are present before an article can be published. Title images may also be generated with an image model.
AI output is not treated as a source. Factual claims must be supported by the cited material, and the article identifies its assisted workflow. If source quality or evidence is insufficient, publication is designed to stop rather than fill gaps with unsupported claims.
Updates
Corrections and profile updates
Profiles display their last update and available source provenance. Website availability is monitored periodically, but a temporary response error does not automatically prove that a business has closed. Suspect records are reviewed before removal or deactivation.
To report an inaccurate profile, request a correction, or raise an editorial concern, contact the company using the details in our imprint. Listing owners can also claim a profile and maintain approved information through the owner portal.
