How We Work

Armdog Reviews is a compilation of impressions and write-ups by the author across various product categories. The goal is to update and curate the page like a searchable wiki, providing ratings in an easy-to-digest format.

The site does not use traditional ad services like Google Adsense and WordAds. Instead, we’re supported by readers – when you buy something from a link, we may get an affiliate commission. But it never affects your price or how products are evaluated.

We build our own links and ads, not leaving them to the mercy of another company’s bidding process. Retailers we link to are listed below:
