Advertising & Sponsorship Disclosure
How advertising and sponsorship work here, and how paid content is labelled.
Template document. This page is a starting draft. Replace the bracketed placeholders and have it reviewed by a qualified professional before relying on it. (Remove template_notice from the file when done.)
Last updated:
[SITE NAME] does not currently carry advertising or sponsored content. This page explains the rules that will apply if that changes, so readers and partners know what to expect.
Our commitments
- Editorial coverage is never sold. Stories and Business Spotlights are chosen on their merit.
- Paid content is always labelled. Anything paid for is marked Sponsored (content) or Promoted (event or listing placement), with the name of the sponsor where applicable.
- Advertisers do not influence coverage. Advertisers and sponsors do not review or approve editorial content before publication.
- Links in paid content are marked for search engines as sponsored links.
Possible future offerings
In future we may offer display advertising, sponsored business profiles, newsletter sponsorships, promoted event listings and featured directory listings. Each will be clearly labelled as described above.
Affiliate links
[If you ever use affiliate links, explain here. Otherwise: "We do not use affiliate links."]
