Advertising Policy

Our Commitment

AI Business Review maintains a strict separation between advertising and editorial content. Advertising is essential for sustaining quality journalism, but it must never compromise our editorial independence or readers' trust.

Guiding Principles

Content Labeling Standards

We use clear, consistent labels to distinguish commercial content from editorial content:

Editorial-Advertising Firewall

We maintain strict separation between editorial and commercial operations:

• No Preview: Advertisers do not receive advance notice of editorial content
• No Review: Advertisers cannot review or approve editorial content before publication
• No Adjacency Guarantees: We do not guarantee ads will appear alongside specific editorial content
• Separate Teams: Editorial staff do not participate in advertising sales; commercial staff do not influence editorial decisions
• Cooling-Off Period: Subjects of negative editorial coverage may not advertise for 30 days after publication to avoid perception of influence

Sponsored Content Guidelines

When we publish sponsored content:

• It is clearly labeled with "Sponsored" at the top of the page
• The sponsor is identified by name
• The content is visually distinguished from editorial content
• Sponsored content does not appear in editorial sections or feeds without clear labeling
• Our editorial team reviews sponsored content for accuracy but sponsors have final say on their messaging

Prohibited Advertising

We reserve the right to refuse any advertising at our sole discretion.

Reader Trust

Our readers' trust is our most valuable asset. If you ever have concerns about the distinction between editorial and advertising content:

• Email editor@aibusinessreview.org with your concern
• We will review and respond within 7 business days
• If labeling was inadequate, we will update it immediately
