To support the operation of this website, we may earn commissions through affiliate relationships with gold and silver buyers, dealers, and related services. When you click certain links on our site and complete a transaction, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
What This Means For You
- You pay the same price whether you use our links or not
- We only recommend or list services we believe are legitimate
- Affiliate relationships do not influence our research or editorial content
- We do not accept payment for favorable reviews or placement
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on affiliate marketing and endorsements. We believe in honest and transparent communication with our readers.
Types of Affiliate Relationships
We may have affiliate relationships with:
- Online gold and silver buyers
- Precious metals dealers
- Related financial service providers
Not all businesses listed on our site are affiliate partners. Many are included solely for informational purposes with no financial relationship.
Our Editorial Standards
Affiliate income allows us to maintain and improve LocalGoldSilver.com, but it does not dictate our content. Our research process remains the same regardless of whether a business offers an affiliate program.
We will never:
- Recommend a service solely because it pays higher commissions
- Hide or downplay negative information about an affiliate partner
- Exclude quality non-affiliate options from our guides
