Affiliate disclosure

Last reviewed 2026-10-04

BestGirlfriends earns a commission on some of the links on this site. This page explains exactly how, because the short version at the top of the directory is short by design and you deserve the long one somewhere.

What an affiliate link is here

Most of the outbound links on this site pass through an affiliate network before they reach the site you clicked. If you then sign up or spend money, the site pays us a share. You pay nothing extra for arriving through us, and the price you are quoted is the same one you would be quoted by typing the address in yourself.

Every one of those links is marked. In the page's HTML they carry rel="sponsored nofollow", which is the machine-readable way of saying the same thing to search engines. The notice sits above the list on the homepage rather than in the footer, which is where the US Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidance says a disclosure belongs: before the click, not after it.

What the commission does not buy

It does not buy a place on the list. It does not buy a higher position, a badge, a softer one-line description, or protection from being removed. The list is not for sale, and no site on it has been contacted for money.

The order inside each panel comes from how big a site is, what it actually does, and whether its link could be verified. Several of the 51 sites listed pay us very little or nothing at all, and they are listed anyway because the category would be dishonest without them. Several that pay well have been removed, including one of the two best-paying offers in our whole catalogue, because its links stopped working. The removed list on the homepage names them.

The sponsored slots

The homepage also carries sponsored slots, each one labelled. There are never more than two places on the page that hold them, and a place can show two offers side by side when the screen is wide enough, so you will see up to four. They sit after the list and in the text below it, never inside a panel between two brands. What they show is an offer picked from our own affiliate catalogue, and they pay us the same way the list does: a commission on what you do once you get there, such as signing up or spending, never a fee for the space. Nobody can buy a slot, and what turns up in one has no bearing on who is listed, in what order, or what the directory says about them.

Those offers have not been through the link checks and category rules the listed sites go through, so take them for what they are: advertising. Their links carry the same rel="sponsored nofollow" as every other paid link here, and the privacy policy sets out what a slot sends back.

What we cannot promise

That the prices, features or free tiers described on the homepage are still exactly as described. They matched what the sites themselves published on 4 October 2026, and this industry changes its pricing quietly. Anything you are about to pay for should be read on the site charging you, not here.

We also do not control what happens after you leave. Each destination has its own terms, its own privacy policy, its own billing and its own age verification. We host none of their content and we cannot resolve a dispute with them on your behalf.

Reporting a problem

If a link takes you somewhere other than the brand named on it, that is exactly the failure this site exists to catch and we want to know within the hour. Write to [email protected] with the panel and the site name.
