Advertising Policy

GenoMethods currently uses Google AdSense display advertising and keeps advertising separate from editorial decisions, rankings, reviews and corrections.

Updated

GenoMethods currently uses third-party display advertising through Google AdSense. Advertising provides commercial support for the site, but it is not part of the process used to determine independent editorial conclusions.

Current Commercial Model

Google AdSense display advertising Active
Direct advertising marketplace Not currently offered
Sponsored articles Not currently offered
Paid press releases Not currently offered
Native advertorials Not currently offered
Affiliate links Not currently used as part of the standard publishing model

Editorial Independence

Advertising relationships do not determine independent GenoMethods editorial conclusions, article selection, factual corrections, reviews or ranking positions.

The appearance of an advertisement does not mean GenoMethods endorses the advertiser, product, service or claims contained in that advertisement. Readers should distinguish third-party advertising from independent GenoMethods editorial material.

What Advertisers Cannot Buy

  • favorable independent coverage;
  • positive editorial conclusions;
  • suppression of accurate reporting;
  • control over factual corrections;
  • positive reviews;
  • higher editorial ranking positions;
  • approval rights over independent editorial articles.

Paid visibility does not determine editorial ranking position.

No Guaranteed Results

GenoMethods does not promise advertisers guaranteed search rankings, traffic, leads, conversions, investment outcomes or other guaranteed performance results. Advertising exposure and independent editorial coverage are separate matters, and advertising does not create a promise that GenoMethods will publish about an advertiser.

Sponsored Content Status

Sponsored articles, paid press releases, advertorials and native sponsored content are not currently part of the standard GenoMethods publishing model. The existence of this policy does not mean those formats are currently available for purchase.

Advertising Concerns

Questions about potentially misleading advertising, commercial labeling or ad presentation may be sent to: advertising@genomethods.org

Providing a concern allows GenoMethods to understand the issue being reported but does not change the distinction between advertising content and independent editorial work.
