How We Make Money
How SnoutPicks makes money
When an aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment reader buys through an aquarium gravel vacuum or pet gate product-page link, SnoutPicks can earn a qualifying-purchase commission — but the aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment scores and ranks are fixed on merit before any link exists, so the commission changes nothing.
How do Amazon Associates links work?
Each live aquarium & fish, grooming tools, and habitats & containment pick sends an aquarium gravel vacuum or pet gate button to its specific Amazon /dp/ASIN page under the site's Associates tag, never a search result. A completed purchase can pay a small commission at no added cost. Per Amazon's rule: As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
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.
