Trust / Sponsored content

Sponsored content policy

How any future commercial placement would be identified, separated from editorial judgment and disclosed.

Sponsored content

Editorial first

The Plug Ledger currently publishes no sponsored campaign. If a commercial placement is accepted later, the page will identify it in visible language and the link will carry the appropriate search attributes. A paid placement will not be presented as an independent test, a universal recommendation or a personal result that did not happen.

The category and article structure stay useful with or without a campaign. A commercial page cannot turn a whole family into an advertisement or occupy the navigation as if it were an editorial desk.

Disclosure and separation

Disclosure and separation

A sponsored article will carry a clear disclosure near the content. The campaign, source page, destination and dates will be recorded in the site's inventory. Editorial pages remain free to explain limits, alternatives and uncertainty. The sponsor does not buy a guarantee of ranking, a claim about performance or a favorable correction.

Readers can ask about a placement at [email protected]. The desk will correct a factual error regardless of whether a page is commercial or editorial.

No hidden endorsements

The site has no sitewide paid links, hidden text, affiliate widget or third-party advertising code in this build. Any future change that alters that statement will be reflected here and in the page markup.

clear context, no hidden door
