How We Make Money

RobBerger.com is an independent, advertising-supported financial media company. We earn money through partnerships with some of the companies whose products and services we mention. This means — at no extra cost to you — we may be paid if you click a link and sign up, open an account, fund an account, or purchase a product or service. This creates a financial relationship — known as a “material connection” — that could influence our recommendations.

We only recommend products and services we believe in and would suggest to our own families. Advertisers have no control over our editorial content, and we do not accept payment for favorable reviews.

How We Make Money

We partner with companies in several ways:

1. Partner or Affiliate Relationships

Some links on our site are paid referral links. If you use one of these links to sign up for or purchase a product or service, we may receive compensation. The exact terms vary by partner — we may be paid when you click, open an account, fund an account, or make a purchase.

2. Display Advertising

We may sell display ads, both directly and through third parties like Google AdSense. These ads (often called “banner ads”) may be targeted to you based on your browsing history. Display ads are not endorsements of the products or services shown.

3. Video and Other Sponsored Content

We may run video advertising or other sponsored placements. Any sponsored content is clearly marked as such.
