Sponsored Content Policy

Paid or commercially supported submissions are separated from independent templates and clearly disclosed to readers.

Where sponsored articles appear

Approved sponsored articles are published inside /articles/ and listed on the Sponsored Articles homepage. They are not presented as independently produced templates. The page displays a sponsored label, contributor information, publication date, and disclosure.

Link treatment

External promotional links are automatically marked rel="sponsored nofollow noopener". Contributors may not request hidden links, redirects intended to conceal a destination, or code that changes link behavior after publication.

Review standards

A submission must be relevant to the site’s audience, readable, original or properly licensed, and accurate enough for responsible publication. We may request sources, edits, disclosures, or removal of claims. Publication is not an endorsement, guarantee, certification, or verification of a product or service.

Content we do not accept

  • Casino, betting, gambling, illegal drugs, weapons, explicit adult content, or instructions for wrongdoing.
  • Malware, deceptive downloads, impersonation, phishing, fake documents, or bypassing security controls.
  • Guaranteed earnings, fabricated testimonials, misleading health or financial claims, or unlicensed professional services.
  • Copyright infringement, spun or copied articles, undisclosed affiliate schemes, or content created mainly to manipulate search rankings.
  • Discrimination, harassment, exploitation, or unsafe advice.

Editing, removal, and corrections

We may edit titles, formatting, disclosures, and links for compliance and usability. We may reject or remove a page when claims cannot be supported, links become unsafe, the destination changes materially, or the content no longer meets policy. Readers may report concerns through the contact page.

Commercial inquiries

An inquiry should include the proposed topic, contributor name, target URL, relationship to the linked business, and any claims requiring verification. Do not send payment or sensitive information before publication terms are confirmed.

Practical way to use this guide

Use Sponsored Content Policy as a structured starting point. Identify the outcome you need, follow the relevant steps in order, and adapt the examples to your tools, location, audience, and level of experience. Do not keep instructions that do not apply to your situation.

  • Check current official instructions when software, policies, prices, or regulations may have changed.
  • Save a copy before making irreversible changes.
  • Test the result on a small example before applying it broadly.
  • Review privacy, safety, accessibility, and compatibility requirements.

Quality check

Confirm that every step is complete and that the result works for its intended audience. When the topic affects legal rights, health, employment, finance, or safety, use this page for general orientation and consult an appropriate qualified professional or official source.
