Ad Placement and Click Behavior Policy
Ad placements should be identifiable and should not interfere with reading, navigation, or accessible controls.
Placement Principles
Ad units must be identifiable as advertising and positioned in ways that do not imitate navigation elements, action buttons, or article controls.
Click Behavior Standards
- No prompts asking users to click ads to unlock content or continue site use.
- No misleading labels such as "download," "next," or "continue" for ad units.
- No interface tricks that cause accidental ad clicks during normal navigation.
- No ad stacking near high-frequency touch targets on small screens.
Sponsored Labeling
Sponsored placements and paid promotional content are clearly labeled. Labels are designed to be readable and visible across desktop and mobile layouts.
Quality Review and Remediation
Ad layouts are reviewed periodically and after significant design changes. Non-compliant or risky implementations are corrected, replaced, or removed.

Platform Alignment Process
Ad operations are reviewed against current platform requirements, including labeling, placement behavior, traffic quality controls, and restricted-content handling. Configuration changes are applied when policy interpretation or platform guidance evolves.
Where uncertainty exists, we default to a conservative implementation approach rather than aggressive monetization.
Escalation and Remediation
Policy warnings, account notices, or anomalous behavior trigger internal review. Affected placements or integrations may be paused while remediation is completed and validated.
Layout Change Reviews
After major design or template updates, ad placement is rechecked for accidental-click risk, label clarity, and separation from navigation to preserve policy-safe behavior.
