At The Written Wilds, we value transparency, independence, and honesty in everything we publish — including advertising.
This policy outlines how we handle ads, sponsored content, and affiliate partnerships, ensuring our readers always know the difference between editorial and commercial material.
1. Our Editorial Independence Comes First
All editorial content — including news reports, analyses, features, and fiction — is produced independently by The Written Wilds team or our verified contributors.
Advertising and sponsored partnerships do not influence:
- What we choose to cover
- How we write about it
- Who we interview or quote
- The conclusions we reach
If an advertiser or partner wants to sponsor coverage, they have no editorial control over that content.
2. How Advertising Works on The Written Wilds
We display advertisements through trusted networks and partners, such as Google AdSense.
These ads may appear as:
- Banner or display ads
- Video or native ads
- Sponsored placements or partner promotions
Ad placements are chosen based on relevance, performance, and reader experience — never to alter editorial direction.
We reserve the right to refuse any advertisement that:
- Promotes hate, discrimination, or violence
- Misleads or exploits readers
- Conflicts with our ethical or editorial standards
3. Sponsored Content
Occasionally, The Written Wilds may publish sponsored stories or partner features.
These are created in collaboration with advertisers or organizations but remain clearly identified as paid material.
Sponsored content will always be labeled with clear language such as:
“Sponsored Content,” “Paid Partnership,” or “In Collaboration With…”
Readers will always be able to tell the difference between The Written Wilds’ independent reporting and paid promotional material.
4. Affiliate Links & Recommendations
Some of our articles may contain affiliate links, which allow The Written Wilds to earn a small commission if a reader clicks or makes a purchase through those links.
Affiliate links:
- Do not affect our opinions or recommendations
- Are included only when relevant to the topic or story
- Are disclosed clearly within the article or near the first occurrence of the link
We partner only with affiliates whose products or services we genuinely find useful or relevant to our readers.
5. Ad Targeting & Data Privacy
We respect your privacy.
While third-party networks like Google AdSense may use cookies to show you relevant ads, The Written Wilds itself does not collect or sell personal data for advertising purposes.
For more on how ad networks handle user data, visit our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
You can opt out of personalized ads anytime by adjusting your browser settings or visiting Google’s Ad Settings.
6. Ad Placement & Editorial Separation
We maintain a strict separation of content and ads:
- Ads will never appear within the body of a reported news story in a way that confuses readers.
- Sponsored placements are positioned distinctly and clearly labeled.
- Advertisers cannot preview or edit our editorial material.
All advertisements are reviewed to ensure they do not mimic editorial style or mislead readers.
7. Responsibility for Advertised Content
We review ads for accuracy and appropriateness but cannot guarantee or endorse the products or services advertised.
Purchases or actions made through third-party links are at your discretion.
If you encounter a misleading or inappropriate ad on The Written Wilds, please contact us at thewrittenwilds@gmail.com and include a screenshot or link for review.
8. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Advertising Policy as our site grows or as advertising standards evolve.
Any significant changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
