FTC Compliance statement
SolarKist is an affiliate-supported review and comparison site operated by Kicking Ass Media LLC. It is not an independent lab, and it does not present itself as one. The purpose of this page is to explain how the site is funded and how that funding may affect the content readers see.
Because affiliate relationships can exist across product pages and comparison content, readers should expect that some outbound links may lead to merchants or offers that compensate the site if a qualifying action occurs. That arrangement does not change the need for clear disclosure, and it does not remove the possibility that results vary based on product quality, pricing, and individual experiences may differ.
Revenue Model
SolarKist may earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through affiliate links, at no extra cost to the reader. In some cases, a merchant or network may pay a referral fee when a visitor clicks a link and completes a purchase or other qualifying action. Commission structures can vary by offer, merchant, and network, so the exact arrangement may differ from page to page.
Readers should assume that monetization may be present when links are included. That said, the site aims to present information in a straightforward editorial format rather than a sales script, and any outcome claims should be read as general observations only. Many customer reviews describe different experiences, and results vary based on use case, product condition, and expectations.
Networks We May Work With
SolarKist may participate in programs and affiliate networks that include MaxBounty, DFO Performance, ClickBank, MaxWeb, BuyGoods, and other legitimate affiliate networks. Availability can change over time, and not every product or review page will be tied to the same network.

- DFO Performance
- ClickBank
- MaxWeb
- BuyGoods
- Other legitimate affiliate networks
Different networks may apply different tracking methods, cookie windows, payout terms, and approval rules. Those operational details are generally outside the reader’s control and may affect whether a referral is credited.
Editorial Integrity
Rankings and comparisons reflect editorial judgment by the site’s publishing team, not the size of a commission. Placement decisions are intended to consider factors such as product positioning, available information, and how a product is described across the market. Commissions do not buy placements, and paid relationships should not be mistaken for an endorsement of every claim attached to an offer.
The editorial process is handled by Kicking Ass Media LLC through its publishing operation, with reviews typically attributed to the Editorial Team or another qualifying byline where appropriate. Some customer reviews describe positive outcomes, but results vary and readers should weigh the full context before making a purchase decision.
What We Do NOT Do
SolarKist does not perform lab testing on the products it covers, and it does not claim to provide independent verification of customer reviews. Any third-party feedback referenced on the site may come from public sources, merchant pages, or other online materials, and it should be read with appropriate caution.
Because the site is a comparison and commentary resource rather than a testing facility, it cannot guarantee that every product will perform the same way for every reader. Individual experiences may differ, and readers should consult the merchant’s own terms, labels, and support materials before buying.
How Links Are Marked
Affiliate links on SolarKist are intended to include rel="nofollow sponsored" where appropriate, and review pages should disclose affiliate relationships near the content or link placement. Those disclosures are meant to help readers understand that the site may receive compensation when a qualifying purchase is made.
Not every link is necessarily an affiliate link, but when a link is used for monetized referral purposes, the relationship should be disclosed clearly enough for a reasonable reader to notice. Transparency may be updated as pages change, and older pages may not always reflect the latest affiliate arrangement immediately.
