Our Approach to Advertising
At www.notonetype.org, we maintain clear standards for how advertising and sponsored content appear on our Website. This policy explains our practices to ensure transparency and trust with our readers.
Types of Advertising
Affiliate Marketing
Our primary revenue source is affiliate marketing. When you purchase products through our affiliate links, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This supports our work while keeping our content free.
Key Points:
- Commissions do not influence our editorial decisions
- We only recommend products we genuinely believe benefit our readers
- All affiliate relationships are disclosed clearly
- See our Affiliate Disclosure for complete information
Display Advertising
We may display advertisements through third-party advertising networks on our Website. These ads help support our operations and content creation.
Ad networks may:
- Use cookies to display relevant advertisements
- Track ad performance and user interactions
- Collect data as outlined in our Privacy Policy
You can manage ad preferences through:
- Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out
- Digital Advertising Alliance Opt-Out
- Your browser settings
Sponsored Content
Our Standards
Occasionally, we may work with brands to create sponsored content. When we do:
We ensure:
- All sponsored content is clearly labeled as “Sponsored,” “Paid Partnership,” or similar disclosure
- Disclosures appear prominently at the beginning of content
- Editorial control remains with us—sponsors cannot dictate our opinions or conclusions
- Content must provide genuine value to our readers
- Sponsored content aligns with our editorial standards and audience interests
We do not:
- Accept payment for positive reviews or endorsements
- Allow sponsors to write or control editorial content
- Publish sponsored content that misleads or deceives readers
- Compromise our honest opinions for compensation
Transparency
Sponsored content is clearly distinguished from regular editorial content through visible disclosures and labeling. We maintain the same quality and integrity standards for sponsored content as we do for all content on our Website.
Editorial Independence
Our Commitment:
Advertising relationships do not influence our editorial decisions, content recommendations, or reviews. We maintain complete independence in determining:
- What topics we cover
- Which products we recommend
- How we present information
- Our honest opinions and assessments
Revenue considerations never compromise the integrity of our content or our commitment to reader value.
What We Don’t Accept
We do not accept advertising or sponsorships for:
- Products or services we believe are harmful, misleading, or of poor quality
- Content that conflicts with our values or editorial standards
- Arrangements that require us to compromise our editorial independence
- Free products in exchange for guaranteed positive coverage
We reserve the right to decline any advertising or sponsorship opportunity that does not align with our standards or reader interests.
Disclosure Practices
We are committed to transparency in all advertising and sponsored relationships.
Our disclosures include:
- Clear identification of affiliate links in content
- Prominent labeling of sponsored posts
- Transparent communication about brand partnerships
- Compliance with FTC guidelines and applicable advertising laws
All disclosures are designed to be clear, conspicuous, and easily understood.
Social Media
This Advertising Policy also applies to our social media presence (Pinterest, Instagram, X, Threads). Sponsored posts on social platforms are clearly disclosed using hashtags like #ad, #sponsored, or platform-specific partnership labels.
