To fund our website expenses and generate fresh content, we incorporate advertisements and affiliate links. We strive for utmost transparency concerning these elements on our site.
Delve deeper into the reasons behind our use of ads, affiliate links, and sponsorship, including insights into the specific brands we collaborate with.
Why do we integrate ads, affiliate links, and accept sponsorship?
Prior to exploring these diverse revenue streams, it’s essential to understand why we engage in these practices:
- Compensation for Writers: Supporting the payment of our writers for their contributions to new articles.
- Covering Website Costs: Managing the expenses associated with hosting our website, including web designer and other hosting-related costs.
- Investing in Improvements: Allocating funds for templates, themes, and software to enhance the overall user experience.
- Supporting Visual Elements: Facilitating the payment for graphics and photographic elements as needed.
- Team Compensation: Ensuring fair compensation for all team members involved in maintaining and enhancing the website.
Let’s talk about ads!
Our primary ad source is the Google Display Network, fondly known as “Google Adsense.” You’ll spot these ads scattered across our site, residing in the sidebar and nestled within articles. Look for the friendly label “Advertisement” either above or below the ad—it’s our way of keeping things transparent. Clicking on these ads and making a purchase not only supports us with a fee but also adds a little jingle to our income through impressions.
Now, about personalization – ads might tailor themselves based on your search history. If that’s not your cup of tea, especially if you’re rocking the Chrome browser, check out support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en-GB for a guide on turning off personalized ads. Do keep in mind; this tweak will affect your ad experience across the entire web using Google Adsense/Display Network.
In addition to Adsense, we implement banners, text links, and other ads handpicked by our team. No user data or cookies involved – just good old manual curation.
Feeling rebellious? You can block ads entirely, often with nifty ad-blocker extensions or apps. If you’re up for some serious privacy mode, disable cookies and block Javascript. Fair warning though, going all-out on Javascript may turn your favorite websites into digital snails. Choose wisely!
