How We Make Money

How DeskTally makes money

DeskTally is an Amazon Associates participant; audio, video & streaming gear, desk setup & seating, keyboards & mice, monitors & displays, power & charging, and printing & scanning picks will carry eligible book scanner and lumbar support cushion product-page links once verified URLs land, and all scores are computed before any link is attached.

Key takeaways

Amazon Associates revenue on audio, video & streaming gear, desk setup & seating, keyboards & mice, monitors & displays, power & charging, and printing & scanning products can begin only after verified eligible product links are added.
Future book scanner and lumbar support cushion links will go to specific Amazon product pages (/dp/ASIN), never search or category pages.
Every audio, video & streaming gear, desk setup & seating, keyboards & mice, monitors & displays, power & charging, and printing & scanning score is calculated before any affiliate link is attached; commissions never change a book scanner's rank.
We do not accept payment, free products, or sponsored placement to alter a lumbar support cushion score or label a top pick.
If revenue sources ever change, this page is updated before any new program goes live.

How do Amazon Associates links work?

audio, video & streaming gear, desk setup & seating, keyboards & mice, monitors & displays, power & charging, and printing & scanning product buttons for a book scanner or lumbar support cushion 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?

Every audio, video & streaming gear, desk setup & seating, keyboards & mice, monitors & displays, power & charging, and printing & scanning score is calculated before a single affiliate link is displayed. A book scanner and a lumbar support cushion are graded on the same published-spec formula regardless of whether either carries a commission-earning link; scores run 0/100 (no fit) to 100/100 (best match). 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?

We do not accept payment to alter a book scanner score, move a lumbar support cushion up the rankings, or label an audio, video & streaming gear, desk setup & seating, keyboards & mice, monitors & displays, power & charging, and printing & scanning product a top pick. We take no free products in exchange for favorable coverage, and we never disguise a paid relationship as editorial content.

Is there any other revenue?

Right now the only revenue for this audio, video & streaming gear, desk setup & seating, keyboards & mice, monitors & displays, power & charging, and printing & scanning site is the Amazon Associates program. If that changes, this page is updated to name any new affiliate program or advertising relationship before it goes live.
