Sponsored Content Policy

Sponsored articles are identified before the headline with a public disclosure and sponsor name. Display advertising is labeled separately from editorial content.

Payment does not remove requirements for lawful, accurate, readable, and appropriately sourced content. We may reject claims, links, products, or campaigns that conflict with reader safety or editorial standards.

No sponsor may require a false byline, misleading date, fabricated experience, or undisclosed endorsement.

External links in sponsored articles are treated as commercial links and receive sponsored and nofollow relationship attributes. Publication does not guarantee rankings, traffic, conversions, or permanent placement.

Sponsored material remains subject to correction, update, rejection, archiving, or removal for factual, legal, security, or policy reasons. Commercial terms do not override these standards.
