Advertising disclosure

Sportopod carries display advertising and sponsored content as part of how we fund our operation. This page describes how we mark and isolate that material.

Display advertising

Visible ad slots are clearly framed and labelled. Ads do not influence which stories we surface, cluster, or rank.

Sponsored content

When a brand pays for placement of an article, the article carries a visible "Sponsored" label, is excluded from search/sitemap as editorial, and never gets a real-person editorial byline.
