Advertising policy

Advertisers cannot purchase a ranking, favorable conclusion, source omission, or editorial veto. Advertising relationships are managed separately from factual verification and opportunity scoring.

Paid placements are labeled as “Advertisement,” “Sponsored,” or another unambiguous commercial label. They are not formatted to imitate navigation, download buttons, game controls, source cards, or editorial recommendations.

Ads are not intentionally placed where normal scrolling, tapping, searching, or opening a guide is likely to create an accidental click. We do not allow ads to exceed the amount of publisher content on a page or obstruct the answer.

GameTrendex only enables advertising on pages with substantial publisher content. Legal notices, privacy controls, error pages, under-construction routes, and screens used mainly for navigation or behavioral prompts are excluded from code-level monetization.

We never ask readers, staff, contractors, friends, or partners to click or refresh ads. We do not buy unreliable traffic, operate click exchanges, automate ad interactions, or offer any reward for viewing or clicking standard ads.

If a link can generate a commission, that relationship is disclosed near the recommendation or before the reader acts. Compensation does not increase a game, product, or service score. Sponsored articles must be labeled at the top of the page.

Questions about a placement, advertiser, or commercial disclosure can be sent to support@gametrendex.com. Include the page URL, approximate time, region, and a screenshot when possible; do not click an ad to investigate it.
