What We Are
affiliate.fm is our flagship project — both a team and a content platform. We are a community-driven initiative earning through affiliate marketing while building a new paradigm for the industry: one based on data, transparency, and ethical practices.
The Platform
Similar to how casinos.fm covers online casinos, affiliate.fm covers the affiliate marketing industry itself:
- Affiliate programs & networks — Reviews, comparisons, rankings
- Aggregators — Platforms that collect offers across networks
- Offers — Detailed breakdowns of terms, payouts, performance data
- Reviews — Honest, data-driven analysis (not paid placements)
We’re an independent media platform and a collection of open-source tools that empowers marketers to make informed decisions without the noise of paid rankings and biased recommendations.
Our Mission
To promote affiliate marketing as a legitimate alternative to traditional employment while maintaining the highest standards of ethics and transparency.
We believe:
- Affiliate marketing can be sustainable without polluting the internet with garbage content
- Data-driven decisions beat paid placements every time
- Open-source transparency builds trust that closed systems never can
- Community contributions make our data more accurate and comprehensive
Core Values
| Value | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Data-Driven | Every ranking, review, and recommendation is backed by verifiable metrics — not advertising dollars |
| Open Source | Our code, tools, and datasets are publicly available for anyone to audit, verify, and improve |
| Transparent | No hidden agendas. No paid placements. No biased rankings. What you see is what the data shows |
| Community-Powered | Anyone can contribute, correct, and improve our datasets and tools |
| Ethical First | White-hat only. Legal data collection. No black-hat SEO or law-breaking tactics |
What Makes Us Different
The Problem with the Industry
Most affiliate review sites are glorified advertising platforms. They:
- Display only partners who pay them the highest commissions
- Use fake “ratings” that are actually paid placements
- Produce low-quality content designed to manipulate search engines
- Operate as black boxes with no accountability
Our Solution
We flip the model completely:
| Traditional Affiliate Site | affiliate.fm |
|---|---|
| Rankings based on payments | Rankings based on data |
| Closed, proprietary data | Open-source datasets |
| Content farms | Quality, honest reviews |
| Trust us (black box) | Verify yourself (transparent) |
| Company decides | Community contributes |
