We Earn Commissions From Affiliate Links
AI Trading Ranked (the "Site") participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our Site and sign up for a service, make a trade, or purchase a product, we may earn a commission from the provider. This is how we fund the operation of this website and continue to provide free content, reviews, and guides about crypto trading platforms.
This does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay or the fees you incur on any platform or service are the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the vendor's website. In some cases, using our link may actually provide you with a signup bonus, fee discount, or other benefit that is not available elsewhere.

How Affiliate Links Work
Here is a simple explanation of how affiliate links work on our Site:
- **You read our content.** We publish reviews, comparisons, and guides about crypto trading platforms based on our own research and testing.
- **You click a link.** When you click on a product link in one of our articles, a small tracking cookie is placed on your browser by the affiliate network. This cookie identifies that you came from our Site.
- **You sign up or make a purchase.** If you decide to sign up for the platform or make a qualifying action within the cookie duration window (which varies by program, as listed above), the affiliate network records the referral.
- **We earn a commission.** The platform company pays us a commission for the referral. This commission comes out of the company's marketing budget, not your pocket.
- **You pay nothing extra.** The fees you pay and the prices you see are identical to what you would get if you visited the platform directly. In many cases, our referral links provide signup bonuses or fee discounts.
Our Opinions Are Honest and Independent
We want to be completely transparent: while we earn commissions from the products listed above, our editorial opinions are our own and are not influenced by affiliate compensation.
Here is what that means in practice:
- **We only recommend platforms we believe in.** We do not promote a platform simply because it offers a higher commission. If we would not trade on it ourselves, we will not recommend it to you.
- **We highlight both pros and cons.** Every review and comparison on our Site includes honest assessments of what a platform does well and where it falls short. No platform is perfect, and we will not pretend otherwise.
- **We test before we write.** Our reviews are based on hands-on testing, real trades, and thorough research. We do not publish generic summaries copied from a platform's marketing page.
- **Higher commission does not equal higher ranking.** When we rank platforms in our comparison articles and listicles, the ranking is based on fees, features, security, user experience, and suitability for different trader types -- not on which platform pays us the most.
- **We disclose relationships clearly.** Whenever an article contains affiliate links, we include a disclosure notice so you always know that affiliate links are present.
FTC Compliance Statement
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose the following:
- AI Trading Ranked has financial relationships with the companies whose products are reviewed and linked on this Site.
- We receive compensation in the form of commissions when visitors click affiliate links and complete qualifying actions (such as signups or trades).
- This compensation may influence which products we choose to review and where and how those products appear on the Site, but it does not influence our editorial opinions or ratings.
- All opinions expressed on this Site are our own, and we make every effort to provide accurate and up-to-date information. However, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of all information, as platform features, fees, and terms may change.
This disclosure is provided in compliance with the FTC's 16 CFR Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
How to Identify Affiliate Links on This Site
We strive to make affiliate links easy to identify on our Site:
- **Link styling**: Affiliate links are typically styled with a dashed underline and our accent color, making them visually distinct from standard navigation links.
- **Call-to-action text**: Links that include phrasing such as "Try [Platform Name]," "Sign up on [Platform Name]," "Check fees," or similar calls to action are generally affiliate links.
- **Disclosure notices**: Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure statement, usually at the end of the article, reminding you that the content contains affiliate links.
- **External links**: Links that direct you to a third-party platform or service website are likely affiliate links. Internal links to other pages on our own Site are not affiliate links.
If you are ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, you can hover over it to preview the URL. Affiliate links typically contain tracking parameters or redirect through an affiliate network.
Supporting Our Work
Using our affiliate links is one of the best ways to support AI Trading Ranked at no cost to yourself. The commissions we earn help us:
- Continue publishing free, in-depth reviews and comparisons of crypto trading platforms.
- Test new exchanges, bots, and trading tools as they launch so we can provide timely coverage.
- Maintain and improve the website.
- Keep the Site free of intrusive advertising.
If you find our content helpful and decide to sign up for a platform we have recommended, we genuinely appreciate you using our affiliate link to do so. If you prefer not to use affiliate links, that is completely fine as well -- you can always navigate directly to the platform's website.
