What we earn from, and what we do not

DJLearn is free and the learning path is meant to stay that way. To make that work, since September 2026 the equipment section carries links to retailers, some of which earn us a commission. This page says which ones, what we get out of them, and what that changes about our recommendations. The short answer to the last one: nothing.

Where links appear
In the equipment catalogue (catalogue cards, quick view, product, budget, comparison and setup pages), in the gear box of some buying guides and on your wishlist — labelled as an ad wherever we earn from it. Nowhere else: not in the learning path, not in lessons, not in the quiz, not in the glossary.

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Nothing changes for you: you pay the same price you would without our link.

Not every place to buy is an affiliate link. On product pages we also link specialist retailers we earn nothing from — those links carry no ad label, because they are not ads. Which retailer comes first follows one fixed rule: specialist before generalist, regardless of whether we get anything from a purchase there.

Three rules we hold ourselves to

  1. The link does not decide what we recommend

    Which device we suggest for which path lives in a register in the source code, together with a citation from the manufacturer's own page. Whether a product carries an affiliate link is maintained separately, in the admin area. The setup finder and the catalogue ordering never read that field — a check in our test run fails the moment somebody changes that.

  2. Labelling happens where the click happens

    Every affiliate link is labelled as an ad right on the button, and marked as a paid link for search engines. A notice you only find in the legal imprint is not labelling.

  3. We show no prices we cannot back up

    The catalogue shows price brackets instead of amounts, along with the month we last checked them. Street prices change faster than a page can follow — and a stale price next to a buy link is exactly the kind of inaccuracy that makes money.

What you will not find here

  • No paid placement: no manufacturer can buy their way into a recommendation, a list or a setup.
  • No sponsored learning content: lessons, quiz questions and the glossary carry no affiliate links and nobody pays for them.
  • No data for partners: we pass on neither your name nor your email address nor your setup to an affiliate programme.
  • No hidden links: where a link earns us money, it says so.

Check rather than trust: every factual claim in the learning path and every device in the catalogue carries its source. What we count when you click an affiliate link is in the privacy policy. Source registerPrivacy

As of September 2026. If another programme is added, it will appear here before the first link goes live.
