SaasVaas.com operates an affiliate marketing program, meaning we earn commissions and fees from some of the companies and products we review, recommend or link to on our site. Our participation in various affiliate programs allows us to earn advertising fees and generates revenue to support the work we do in providing high-quality content and analysis of the SaaS industry and marketplace.
This affiliate disclosure provides important information about how we operate our affiliate partnerships and what you can expect in terms of transparency and objectivity in our product coverage and recommendations.
How Our Affiliate Program Works When you click on a link on SaasVaas.com for a particular SaaS product, software tool or service, and then complete a purchase or sign up for that product/service from the company’s website, we may receive a commission or referral fee from the company. The amount can vary depending on the company’s affiliate program rates or payouts.
It’s important to note that our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content or recommendations in any way. Whether we earn affiliate income from a company has absolutely no impact on whether or how we cover them on SaasVaas. Our reviews, ratings, rankings and opinions are based solely on the merits of the products and services themselves.
We have strict editorial guidelines and ethics policies in place to maintain objectivity, journalistic integrity and truth in all our coverage areas. Our writers and editors do not have any visibility into our specific affiliate arrangements, nor are they incentivized or rewarded based on affiliate earnings or partnerships.
Our mission is to be an authoritative, trustworthy source of independent SaaS news, reviews and analysis to help readers make informed decisions – not to push affiliate products or SaaS companies. We believe strongly in this separation of church and state between our content and business operations.
Types of Affiliate Links We currently participate in the affiliate programs of many leading SaaS vendors, agencies, SaaS tools providers and B2B software companies. This includes affiliate programs managed directly by the companies themselves as well as through third-party affiliate networks.
You’ll generally find affiliate links in a few key areas on SaasVaas:
- Reviews/Product Guides – When we publish in-depth reviews, comparisons or buying guides about SaaS products and services, we often include affiliate links to allow readers to easily sign up or purchase the products from the companies’ sites.
- Resources Pages – We maintain robust database-driven directories and listings of top SaaS solutions across categories from marketing to HR to DevOps tools. Many of the links and product boxouts on these resources pages are affiliate links.
- Educational Content – For relevant topics like setting up Google Analytics or using Zapier for workflow automation, we may include affiliate links to those tools/platforms in the article content.
- Site Banners/Promotions – We occasionally run promotions, discounts or banners for SaaS products we’ve reviewed, and these ad units contain affiliate tracking links.
We strive to always be fully transparent about our use of affiliate links. Any page or article containing affiliate links will be clearly labeled at the top with an “Affiliate Disclosure” notice. Additionally, we use special formatting like underlining links or adding disclaimers to make affiliate links stand out from regular links.
Our Affiliate Philosophy In short, our goal with affiliate marketing is simply to provide another way for our readers to easily access and sign up for the SaaS products we recommend, while also generating revenue to support our publication’s operating costs and growth. We aim for our use of affiliate links to be helpful and relevant, not obtrusive or interruptive to the user experience.
