Reviews Australia is a business which relies on our expert review team, website developers, data coordinators and many others, to deliver high-quality, people powered news and reviews. As you'd expect, our website needs to generate revenue to keep the wheels turning.
We clearly mark all paid activity on our site to make sure you can clearly identify these elements. In general, there are three main ways we do this at Reviews Australia.
'Go to Site' Buttons
When you read our service comparisons on Reviews Australia you will see orange buttons which read Go To Site. When you click on one of these buttons we will direct you to that service provider's website and we will be paid by that provider for this introduction.
However, it's important to note that all of the information about these services is collected independently by our team, and the dynamically generated tables where you find 'Go To Site' buttons are created and update using filters applied to our database of products. We do not accept payment to manipulate the order of these tables to promote one provider or another.
'See on ...' Buttons
If the discussion on the page relates to a physical product, like a new laptop, smartphone or robot vacuum cleaner, we will include buttons with the name of the store and these buttons will direct you to the product page for that item on the merchant's site. In this instance, we may be paid by the merchant if you make a purchase through this store.
'Sponsored by ...' or 'Partnered with ...'
In some cases, advertisers may sponsor the production of content and we will be paid for this service. In these instances we will clearly disclose this relationship at the beginning of the article so as to avoid any confusion.
Sponsored articles may spotlight certain deals or offers, or may explain a unique service or feature. We work with our partners to make sure that the published article is of genuine interest to our audience. We do not accept payment for producing positive reviews of any product or service, for the promotion of positive reviews we publish, or for the opportunity to review a product in the first place.
We take our responsibility to review products fairly and thoroughly very seriously. While it is necessary for our business to generate revenue, we never let these concerns impact the integrity of our reviewing team's ability to share their honest, expert assessments with our audience.
