How we earn revenue
Senior Dating Lab is a free resource for readers. We do not charge for access to our content, and we do not require user accounts. To support our work, we participate in affiliate marketing programs.
What are affiliate links
When you click on certain links on our site and sign up for a dating platform, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no additional cost to you. The commission is paid by the dating platform, not by the reader.
Our primary affiliate partners
We currently maintain affiliate relationships with the following platforms:
- SeniorMatch
- SilverSingles
This list may change over time. We update this page when our affiliate partnerships change.
Does this influence our reviews
No. Our rankings, reviews, and recommendations are based on documented platform features and the needs of adults 50 and older, not on commission rates or affiliate relationships.
We review platforms based on criteria such as:
- Size and activity of the 50+ user base (based on publicly available information)
- Features relevant to older adults
- Pricing transparency and structure
- Safety features and fraud prevention measures
- Ease of use and accessibility
We may review platforms with which we have no affiliate relationship, and we may have affiliate relationships with platforms that receive lower ratings in our reviews. Our editorial independence is central to how we operate.
Where we disclose affiliate links
Pages that contain affiliate links include a disclosure notice. You will also see a site-wide disclosure banner at the top of every page. When you click an affiliate link, the link is marked with a rel=“sponsored” attribute, which is the standard method for identifying paid links to search engines.
Cookies and tracking
Affiliate links may use cookies set by the affiliate platform to track referrals. These cookies are set by the dating platform, not by Senior Dating Lab. For more information, see our Privacy Policy.
Our independence
Senior Dating Lab is an independent publisher. We are not owned by any dating platform, and we do not accept payment in exchange for favorable reviews or rankings. Our content is produced by our editorial team following the standards described in our Editorial Policy.
