1. Advertising & Sponsored Content Guidelines

We offer premium commercial visibility through paid placements only. This includes:

• Sponsored image listings
• Branded content highlights
• Paid content segments embedded in curated editorial spaces

Our pricing is fixed at $100 USD per image, per month, per platform.

This rate reflects:

• Editorial review and quality control
• Manual publication and formatting
• Brand protection and ad space exclusivity
• Contextual alignment with niche, trust-driven audiences

We do not operate on programmatic ad networks, CPC/CPM models, or script-based embedding systems. All listings must be approved in advance, paid in full, and clearly marked as sponsored.

2. Prohibited Commercial Content

We maintain strict editorial and ethical standards. We do not accept advertising, sponsored posts, or paid links related to the following:

• Pornography or adult content
• Online casinos, gambling, or betting platforms
• Cryptocurrency, NFTs, or digital asset promotions
• Vaping, tobacco, alcohol-related campaigns
• Unverified medical, financial, or legal advice
• Get-rich-quick schemes, affiliate networks, or dropshipping scams
• Embedded scripts, popups, auto-redirects, or forced-click ads

We reserve the right to refuse any content that violates these categories or undermines the integrity of our platforms.

3. Image Requirements

All sponsored images must comply with our editorial layout standards:

• Format: JPG or PNG
• Minimum Dimensions: Please contact us to obtain the correct image dimensions required for each individual platform, as specifications may vary by website.
• Maximum File Size: 1MB
• Visual Rules: No excessive overlays, QR codes, or animations

Images that fail to meet formatting standards will not be published. Final placement will follow platform-specific design guidelines and may be cropped or adjusted for visual consistency.

4. Linking & URL Policy

We only allow direct links to official websites. The following are not permitted:

• Social media links as primary destination
• Link shorteners or masked URLs
• Redirect chains or affiliate codes
• JavaScript-embedded links or dynamic tracking pixels

All links will be reviewed before publication and must be live, safe, and free of deceptive behavior.

5. Communication & Booking Process

All commercial placements must be arranged via email. We do not conduct commercial business through WhatsApp or informal messaging channels unless previously discussed and approved via email.

7. Editorial Rights & Final Authority

We reserve the right to:

• Decline content without obligation to justify refusal

All commercial partnerships must align with our vision of trusted, relevant, reader-focused content delivery. Advertisers seeking visibility in high-integrity, niche markets are welcome.
