Transparency is important at ListKiwi.com and, as a result, we’d like to share more information on how we make a profit. To summarize, your interest in ListKiwi’s editorial content and linked items helps keep the lights flickering and the keyboards clacking. Without your support we could not do what we do and we are infinitely grateful for any and all interest send to our advertising partners.
Online ads
- Each time you visit a ListKiwi page, banner and text ads may appear on your screen. ListKiwi is paid a small fee for every thousand times one of these ads appears. These ads may be generated by a company like Google and Microsoft or as part of a direct agreement made between ListKiwi and its advertising partners.
- If you subscribe for a ListKiwi email list, banner and text ads (or the ol’ combo text/banner ad) may appear inside of editorial content. These ads are typically part of a direct agreement made between ListKiwi and its advertising partners and may be accompanied by its own sponsorship disclaimer.
Affiliate Marketing
- ListKiwi partners with companies like Amazon, Walmart and more to make sure you’re up to date on their offerings and opportunities. In fact, you may notice disclaimers throughout the site and social media handles referring to specific #sponsor, #partner, #ad instances. Each time you click on a ListKiwi partner link and make a direct purchase, ListKiwi may receive a commission (exact amount varies by partner and item/service category). To help maintain integrity, ListKiwi vets out each product/service online (and in some cases physically) prior to bringing it to you, the reader.
- Similar to the above, sometimes ListKiwi makes videos and demonstrations of affiliate partner products or explain the details of a service. These videos are primarily meant to better inform the ListKiwi audience about said product/service, but ultimately ListKiwi may receive a commission from each direct link purchase.

Data Usage
- ListKiwi partners with analytics services to better understand how our site is performing. In most cases, data is looked at as a large pool of information, meaning I cannot identify that Timmy in Yonkers, NY specifically looked at a wedding venue page on ListKiwi. You can read the detailed legal version here, but in general:
- The only way we use specific personal information (ie your name, email address, etc) is to send mass emails you signed up for or to reply to feedback you may have sent us. As a reminder, you can opt out by emailing us or clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of your LinkKiwi email.
- Analytics partners use information like location, IP address, visit duration and more so that we can better understand how our content appeals to readers and how we might improve.
- Advertising partners use information like location, IP address and more so that more relevant ads can be shown (or not shown) to you, the visitor, and you might have a more enjoyable experience. The level of information used varies by local regulation.
