How This Website is Funded
Welcome to SexualHealthExpert.com! Transparency is important to us, and we believe in being upfront about how this platform operates and stays financially sustainable. This page explains how we keep our content free, unbiased, and accessible to all while funding the resources necessary to provide high-quality information and tools.
Free to Use, Free from Advertising
SexualHealthExpert.com is completely free to use. We don’t charge for accessing any part of the site, nor do we accept traditional advertising where companies pay to appear. This means every recommendation or piece of information you find here is guided by what we believe is genuinely best for our users.
Our goal is to maintain a user-first approach, ensuring our content remains independent, research-driven, and focused on providing the best advice and resources. This philosophy has been with us since the site’s creation and continues to be at the heart of everything we do.
How We Generate Revenue
To fund the platform, we use affiliate links. Here’s how it works:
Affiliate Links: After we independently research and recommend products or services, we may find affiliate links for those items. These links track user activity, and if you click through and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. Importantly, this doesn’t affect the price you pay or the quality of the recommendation.
Unbiased Recommendations: If no affiliate link is available for a top choice, we’ll still feature it. Our primary goal is to provide the best options, regardless of whether they generate revenue for the site. We’re committed to ensuring financial considerations don’t influence our editorial stance.
Transparency with Links: To make it clear, affiliate links are marked with an asterisk (*), so you can easily identify which ones support the site. Where possible, we also include a non-affiliate link for comparison.
Why Affiliate Links Work for You and Us
Affiliate links enable us to:
Keep the Site Free: There’s no subscription fee or paywall—anyone can access our resources at no cost.
Maintain Independence: Because we’re not paid directly by companies to feature products, our editorial team can remain impartial.
Fund Essential Operations: From employing expert staff to maintaining the technology that powers the site, affiliate revenue helps us cover costs without compromising our values.
Investing in Quality Content
Running a high-quality platform takes resources. Here’s where your support helps:
Expert Team: Our team includes researchers, writers, and developers dedicated to providing accurate, actionable information.
Technology: With many many thousands of visitors each month, we invest heavily via squarespace in infrastructure to ensure the site is fast, secure, and reliable.
Innovative Tools: We’re constantly developing new features to help users make informed decisions about their sexual health and wellness.
Commitment to Transparency
We understand that trust is vital, which is why we prioritize transparency:
Independent Reviews: All recommendations are based on thorough, unbiased research.
Editorial Integrity: Our editorial content is entirely separate from any commercial partnerships. Paid links are included only after our recommendations are finalized.
Clear Disclosure: We’ll always indicate when a link is affiliated, allowing you to make informed decisions.
Why This Model Works
By combining free access with affiliate links, we’ve created a system that benefits everyone:
For You: Access to valuable, well-researched content and tools without a cost barrier.
For Us: Sustainable funding to continue improving and expanding the site.
We’re proud to remain true to our mission: providing reliable, unbiased information to help our users make confident decisions about their health and well-being. Thank you for supporting SexualHealthExpert!
