Important to note that there is no clamping voltage specified on the product page and no view of the underside of this device (where this would need to be specified)! The 125V was in answer to a question there....and it's the wrong answer! Bad information that was then repeated here (in answer to a question here). It's best to read up on surge protectors, the normal specs, how critical certifications (UL/ETL) are and how surge protectors work.
Don't rely solely on the seller for guidance.
Otherwise you could be wasting your money on a glorified extension cord that's potentially unsafe to use!

They're sponsored deals, yes. They have a little tiny warning at the top of every page.

Ultimately, this site needs money to function. This is just one of the ways they raise money. You should be glad the third party Amazon posts are so easy to spot - there are far sneakier things going on behind the scenes. If you treat everything on this site as an advertisement (they are) and scrutinize each post you're interested in, you can sniff out the good deals from the bad easily.

They already get revenue from referral purchases. Pushing stuff like this to the top without letting people know outright it's a promoted deal is shady.

You should go see some of their big name clients under the "Advertising Opportunities" section. Deal sites aren't secret clubs anymore, they're portals for advertising to a specific demographic of shopper.

So you're saying we should develop our own deals site without all the bullshit. I'm down.

Nah, I'm talking about the disclosure at the very top, not the one below each deal post.

To me, it's pretty obvious what they're stating here. You can also read similar disclosures under the "legal" section. Check out SD's advertising opportunities page, it should make the whole picture even clearer for you.

Now, if your (poor) understanding of their disclosures is common with others as you think, it sounds like a very strong case for the FTC.

Even so, what does it matter? If a product/service is good and I'm getting a discount, I don't care who or where the code/discount comes from. The reviews are what you really need to be careful about.
I'm not sure if you noticed the end of the disclaimer says "including promoted items", and if you're paying attention you'll probably also notice when they promote an item it generally says "Promoted" on the listing. My question to the staff (who posted this): is this a promoted listing? It seems like it may be, but it doesn't say "Promoted". A simple yes or no (from the staff) works. As an aside, I see no need to insult my ability to understand how the site works. I didn't resort to insulting your intelligence simply because we're not seeing eye to eye.

No insult intended, you just seem confused about the disclosures and how these deal sites work.

That's why people should go with well-known brands, not the Chinese brands that are littered on Amazon and deceiving you into thinking they are American brands because they use American-sounding names...

Paying a little more for quality and by trusted brands is usually a better idea.

There is a big difference between sponsored deals and the disclaimer you're referring to. That disclaimer means "we make money when we refer you to a site, and you make a purchase there". A sponsored deal means a merchant paid or otherwise incentivized SD directly to list an item. SD will make money on any deal where they refer you to a website because they have referral arrangements with those sites (that's why the URL looks all long and complicated when you click a link from SD instead of going to the site directly). I'm asking for transparency about whether this deal was an arrangement between the manufacturer, One Beat, and SD staff directly. I know that SD makes money when they refer people to a site to make a purchase. I want to know if this One Beat Surge Protector post itself came about because SD was directly incentivized to post this specific item.

What exactly are you getting at here? You don't like to buy things if the people running the information medium are incentivized to show it?

I don't know where you're drawing that conclusion from, I never suggested that was the reason.

I'm happy for SD to make money otherwise it wouldn't exist. My only request was that it be clarified if this is a sponsored post where SD staff was incentivized to post it, or if it was an organic discovery of a deal. If it weren't important to distinguish between personal recommendations and paid promotions there wouldn't be numerous examples of this practice, like on Youtube where videos must include if they contain paid promotions, or even here on SD when posts that make it to the front page are marked as "PROMOTED".

Many posts on Slickdeals are submitted by non-staff users. Many posts are specifically ads and promoted placements, which will include an advertiser or sponsored label (such as banking and credit card offers). We understand every link is converted to an affiliate link.

But deals like this one, which was posted by staff as a standard post, appears to be promoting a code and item that the company incentivized high placement on like an ad. Yet it didn't receive votes OR the sponsor labels that the official card ads get. Instead, it is shady and looks like a popular community find post in most ways. Staff should clarify if the item is promoted by Slickdeals, since many deals on here are otherwise voted up organically. They should label every post they've given a sponsored boost to, but they don't.
