At Back2Gaming.com, we want to be upfront about how people use our site, how we review products, and where our readers go after reading our articles. We publish hardware benchmarks, gaming news, esports updates, and in-depth product reviews to help our readers decide what gear to buy and what games to play.
What we measure
We review aggregated, anonymous metrics of outbound link clicks to understand which destinations readers visit after engaging with our content (official brand pages, online retailers, communities, etc.). These metrics do not include personally identifiable data.
Readers who proceed to stores
In our ongoing analysis, a significant percentage of our visitors click through to a store or retailer after reading our content. This is a strong indicator that a meaningful share of our audience is actively shopping, comparing prices, checking specifications, or evaluating products based on our reviews.
Where people go
- Popular partner stores: We consistently see traffic directed to e-commerce partners like Lazada, Shopee, Amazon, and local tech retailers. (Note: We may earn a small affiliate commission from these links on rare occasions that we choose to use affiliate links).
- Non-affiliate destinations (intent check): A significant share of traffic also goes to official manufacturer websites, Steam, and console storefronts. These links generally do not generate revenue for us and serve as an intent signal: many readers verify system requirements, tech specs, or warranty details before deciding where to purchase.
Bottom line: The majority of our audience is seeking honest, useful purchase information, such as hardware performance, thermal benchmarks, game optimizations, and overall value to make educated buying decisions.
About our Reviews & Performance Testing
We frequently report heavily on PC hardware benchmarks, framerates, and tech specifications because they directly affect your gaming experience and are a massive purchase factor for our audience. Being completely clear about a product’s strengths and weaknesses helps readers set realistic expectations.
How we use links
Store and product links appear in informational contexts (e.g., where to buy, supported platforms, system requirements, and price checks). Our coverage is strictly about providing fair reviews, accurate news, and reliable tech information.
Privacy
We work with aggregated data and percentages only to understand general audience behavior and improve our content. Back2Gaming.com does not have a user login system or require user accounts. The only personal information requested is a name and email address if you choose to leave a comment directly on our articles (this helps us prevent spam). Additionally, when we import community comments from our Facebook page, all names are completely obfuscated to protect your identity. No personally identifiable information is ever used for our outbound link reporting. You can manage cookies directly in your browser settings.
Why this matters to you
You get clear, practical data (like benchmark scores, build quality assessments, and game performance) to decide if and where to buy. You can trust that our content is designed to inform you, knowing that a meaningful portion of our readers proceed to legitimate, trusted stores after getting the facts from us.
Clear Mission
Our mission is to inform and empower the gaming and tech community. By publishing transparent reviews, detailed performance updates, and reliable store options, we help readers make confident decisions. In practice, this means we end up driving genuine purchases by connecting gamers and PC builders with the exact hardware and software that fits their needs.
iGaming Content and Earnings Disclosure
Back2Gaming earns revenue through advertising, content partnerships, sponsored features, and other commercial publishing arrangements. From time to time, this includes iGaming-related content. Such material is published as part of a commercial arrangement and is not produced as an editorial recommendation, endorsement, or buyer’s guide. We do not frame this content as recommendations, “best places to play,” or similar promotional lists.
Back2Gaming does not condone irresponsible gambling, nor do we support abusive, deceptive, or predatory platforms. The presence of commercially placed iGaming-related content on the site should not be interpreted as editorial approval of any operator, platform, or service. These arrangements are disclosed where appropriate and remain separate from editorial coverage.
Back2Gaming is a self-funded operation. We do not sell merchandise, and we do not rely on hyper-aggressive affiliate linking to sustain the site. Revenue from commercial placements helps support our operations, including independent testing equipment, methodology development, software and service subscriptions, game purchases, licensing costs, and other tools required to produce our coverage.
Editorial reviews, product verdicts, and news coverage on Back2Gaming remain independent of these arrangements. Commercial partnerships do not determine our testing standards, conclusions, or editorial position.
This is stated plainly, in good faith, and without misrepresentation.
