Our Ranking Methodology

Transparency matters. Here is exactly how we evaluate and rank adult affiliate programs in our comparisons.

Our Commitment to Accuracy

Our rankings are based on a combination of hands-on testing, affiliate community feedback, and publicly available information. We regularly update our assessments as programs change.

We do have an affiliate relationship with ourdream.ai, which we believe in and promote. However, our rankings are based on the same criteria applied to all programs. We will not rank a program highly just because we earn from it.
