Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure
We keep this site free to read. This page explains how it is paid for and how we keep that separate from what we write, following the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on disclosing paid relationships.
Display advertising
This site does not show advertising at the moment. If we start, ads will be clearly labelled and kept apart from our articles, and this page will be updated before the first ad appears.
Affiliate links
We do not use affiliate links at the moment. If we start, each article with affiliate links will say so before or near the first link.
Hosted or sponsored experiences
If a business provides a free or discounted product, meal, tour, or stay, the article says so near the top. We accept no payment for a review, a ranking, or a positive opinion.
What we do not accept
- Paid guest posts and paid links inside articles
- Payment to remove criticism
- Advertising written to look like an article
Editorial independence
Commissions, hosting, and advertising never buy a place in our articles. How we decide what to publish is in our Editorial & Review Policy.
