How We Make Money
How SnoutPicks makes money
SnoutPicks is an Amazon Associates participant; aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment picks will carry eligible aquarium gravel vacuum and pet gate product-page links once verified URLs land, and all scores are computed before any link is attached.
How do Amazon Associates links work?
aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment product buttons for an aquarium gravel vacuum or pet gate attach to a specific Amazon /dp/ASIN page once a verified URL lands; no search or category links are ever used, and the picks stay link-free until then.
How is scoring kept independent?
Scores for an aquarium gravel vacuum, a pet gate, and every other aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment product are computed from published specifications first, then a link is attached — never the other way round. The 0-100 grade never moves because a link exists. The scoring formula is published on the Scoring Methodology page, including each criterion and its relative weight. Each product entry includes at least one documented drawback so readers can judge whether a product fits their specific situation rather than taking its aggregate rank at face value.
What do we refuse to do?
No payment moves an aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment rank: an aquarium gravel vacuum's score and a pet gate's placement are fixed by the published specs, not by a commercial relationship, and we take no free product or sponsored placement to change them.
Is there any other revenue?
The Amazon Associates program is the sole aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment revenue source today; should another affiliate or advertising relationship ever start, this page will name it here before it launches.
