OnTheNode accepts a limited amount of paid partner content. Commercial arrangements must be transparent to readers and must not compromise our independent editorial work.
Labeling
Paid articles are labeled Paid Advertisement or Sponsored Advertising Content near the headline and in listings where practical. The sponsor or paying party is identified.
Review and control
Payment purchases review, production, placement, and distribution services – not a favorable opinion or guaranteed publication. OnTheNode may edit headlines, claims, links, images, and copy for accuracy, clarity, legality, style, and reader value.
Prohibited or restricted material
We do not knowingly accept content that is deceptive, plagiarized, defamatory, infringing, discriminatory, unsafe, primarily designed to manipulate search rankings, or falsely presented as independent reporting. Financial, investment, health, gambling, adult, weapons, controlled-substance, political, and other legally restricted topics require enhanced review and may be declined.
Claims and links
Sponsors are responsible for the truth and support of their claims and must provide evidence on request. Paid outbound links are qualified with rel="sponsored" and may also use nofollow. We do not sell dofollow links, PageRank, search rankings, or indexing guarantees.
Corrections and independence
Sponsored content remains subject to our Corrections Policy. A sponsorship does not purchase coverage elsewhere on OnTheNode and does not imply endorsement by OnTheNode, its editors, or its contributors.
