How we operate
Editorial independence
No brand can buy a ranking, a rating, a position in a guide or the removal of criticism. Commercial relationships never change a recommendation.
Clear disclosure everywhere
Partner relationships are disclosed on every guide, every review and in the site footer, in plain language and before the first recommendation.
Editorial pre-sell, never direct linking
Readers always arrive on a full guide first. We do not send cold traffic straight to a merchant offer.
No coupon, incentive or brand-bidding traffic
We do not run coupon pages, incentivised clicks, pop unders, brand-name paid search or automated traffic of any kind.
Depth before advertising
Advertising slots scale with the length of the article, with a guaranteed run of uninterrupted reading between placements. Short pieces carry no advertising at all.
Regulated categories handled carefully
Finance, credit, health and age-restricted products carry eligibility and regional notes, and we never promise approval, rates or outcomes.
Working with us
Partnership teams can review our commitments on Partner Fit, our audience and placements in the media kit, our method on how we review and our commercial terms in the affiliate disclosure.

What we never do
- No paid rankings, paid reviews or paid guest posts.
- No invented test results, numbers or testimonials.
- No hidden partner links — every one is labelled.
- No recommendation without a plain "not for" line.
