About & methodology
Finance Affiliate Index is an independent finance affiliate-economics publication for finance creators, fintech reviewers & money bloggers. It turns normalized program evidence into compliance-aware benchmarks and workflows.
Where the data comes from
AffiliateDataset supplies normalized commission, cookie, payout, restriction, and verification fields through its API. This build analyzed 182 source records and was refreshed Aug 1, 2026. Complete records and evidence remain on AffiliateDataset.
How the research works
- Benchmarks compare the current market snapshot.
- Rankings use disclosed, evidence-heavy weights.
- Guides address compliance, normalization, and governance workflows.
- Examples are curated for evidence and diversity, not payout.
Not financial advice
Gauges visualize stated commission rates, not returns or performance. Affiliate terms change often — always confirm current terms on each provider's own page before promoting.
