How we make money

Free for you. Nobody pays for the answer.

FitMySwing costs you nothing and needs no account. The only money we can earn comes from a small commission on some shop links. This page says which ones, and what we refuse to take.

Where the money comes from

Shop links, and nothing else

When you click through to a shop and buy, the shop may pay us a commission. The price you pay is the same either way.

Amazon

Through the Amazon Associates program. If you buy after clicking, Amazon may pay us a small share of the sale.

eBay

Through the eBay Partner Network. If you buy after clicking, eBay may pay us a small share. The live eBay listings we show on some pages work the same way.

That is the full list of ways the site can earn today. The fitting, the reports and the tools are free, and so is the Golf Equipment API during its beta. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What we refuse

What money cannot buy

If any of these changes, this page changes first.

No brand sponsorship

No golf brand pays us, and no brand can pay to be recommended.

No paid placement

No one can buy a spot in a ranking, a “best for” list or a comparison. Position comes from your numbers and the club’s specs.

No sponsored picks

Nothing in your report is sponsored. Every pick points back to the answers you gave.

No ads

We show no ads. We also sell no clubs ourselves, so we have no stock to push.

Commissions and your picks

Commissions never touch the ranking

Which clubs

Commissions never change which clubs we recommend, or the order they are ranked in. The ranking works from your swing numbers and each club’s specs. It does not know which shops pay us.

Which button first

On club pages and lists, the shops that can pay us a commission come first (today Amazon and eBay), then the others. A model that is no longer made shows only the used shops (GlobalGolf, 2nd Swing, eBay), with eBay first, because Amazon sells new stock. Outside the US, eBay and Amazon come first because both serve your country. Button order is the only thing a commission changes: never which clubs we recommend or how they rank. Your fitting report and the free tools keep one fixed order.

How we check

The ranking code is barred from using the code that builds shop links. An automated test also ranks a set of test golfers with every shop tracking setting switched on and off, and fails if a single pick changes.
