Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: September 2026
Our Affiliate Relationships
DiagnoseMyPc.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at no additional cost to you.
This is how we’re able to provide free diagnostic tools, free blog content, and free resources to our readers while keeping the lights on.
What This Means for You
- You pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor’s website. Affiliate commissions are paid by the vendor, not by you.
- Our recommendations are not influenced by affiliate relationships. We only recommend tools we have personally used, tested, or would genuinely recommend to a client after 25 years in IT.
- We also recommend free tools with no affiliate relationship (CrystalDiskInfo, HWMonitor, etc.) because they’re simply the best option for the job.
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links on DiagnoseMyPc.com may appear in:
- Blog articles (usually labeled “Recommended” or appearing in a highlighted box)
- The Recommended Tools & Resources page
- Diagnostic report recommendations
- Email newsletters
We do our best to clearly label affiliate links with language like “Recommended →” or by noting when a commission may be earned. All affiliate links use rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes as required by Google’s webmaster guidelines.

FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). DiagnoseMyPc.com complies with all FTC requirements regarding material connections between endorsers and advertisers.
