How we make money

Last updated July 29, 2026

Not yet reviewed by a lawyer. This policy describes how the site currently works, but it is a starting draft rather than vetted legal text. A health-adjacent site with affiliate revenue touches FTC endorsement rules, state privacy law, and advertising rules on medical claims. Have a qualified attorney review all four legal pages before launch, then set NEEDS_LEGAL_REVIEW to false in components/legal-review-notice.tsx.

The short version

Some links to online clinics are paid. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Paid partners are marked as partners on the page. They do not get better ratings, better placement, or any say in what we write.

Why you should care about this

Almost every website about erectile dysfunction makes money when you buy something. Most of them do not tell you that, or they bury it in a footer link nobody clicks. That is a problem, because it means the ranking you are reading may be a ranking of who pays best.

We would rather be plain about it. Here is exactly how the money works.

Affiliate commissions

Our main source of revenue is affiliate commission. When we link to an online clinic and you sign up, that clinic may pay us a referral fee.

  • It costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is the same as it would be if you typed the address in directly.
  • Paid links are marked. Partner services carry a “Partner” label on our comparison page, and the disclosure appears above the results, not below them.
  • Not every link is paid. We include services we have no relationship with whenever they belong in a comparison — including when they beat a partner.
  • Outbound affiliate links are tagged with rel="sponsored nofollow", so search engines know they are commercial too.

What money does not buy

These are the rules. They are not aspirational.

  • Ratings. Scores come from the published criteria below. Commission rate is not one of them and never enters the calculation.
  • Placement. The comparison page is ordered by rating. A partner with a lower score sits below a non-partner with a higher one.
  • Editorial control. No partner reviews our content before it goes up, suggests changes to it, or has any right of reply beyond what any reader has.
  • Silence about problems.If a partner has a confusing subscription or a hard cancellation process, we write that down in the “What is not” column like anyone else.
  • Directory listings. Listings in our clinic directory are free and cannot be purchased. We do not accept payment for inclusion, position, or removal.

What we do not do

  • We do not sell treatment, medication or consultations.
  • We do not sell display advertising on the site.
  • We do not sell or rent your data — see our privacy policy.
  • We do not publish sponsored articles or paid guest posts dressed up as editorial.
  • We do not recommend supplements, and we take no money from anyone selling them.

Methodology

What we actually score

Published so you can check whether a rating is defensible — and challenge it if you think it is not.

  • Safety disclosure

    35%

    Does the page tell you what can go wrong before you buy? We look for the nitrate interaction and whether it explains the danger, the four-hour erection rule, a real list of side effects, and whether it raises heart disease and blood pressure.

  • Product transparency

    25%

    Does it publish the actual doses of every active ingredient, and does it state that the product is compounded and has not been approved by the FDA?

  • Commercial clarity

    20%

    Can you see the real ongoing price, the plan terms and how to cancel — before you hand over health information or a card? Do the marketing claims stand up?

  • Value

    20%

    Cost per dose against what the same active ingredients cost as a generic from a licensed pharmacy.

FTC compliance

US Federal Trade Commission rules require that material connections between a publisher and the products it recommends are disclosed clearly and conspicuously. We take that to mean the disclosure should be where you will actually see it — so it appears in the footer of every page, above the results on the comparison page, and next to each individual partner link.

If you think we have got this wrong

If a rating looks like it was bought, tell us and we will explain the scoring or correct it. Get in touch — this is exactly the kind of message we want.
