Quick answer: This is Fullimedia’s advertising disclosure. It explains how we label paid and company-supplied content, how we handle affiliate links, and how we keep advertising separate from independent journalism — in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines. Our goal is simple: you always know what you’re reading.

- Everything paid is labeled — advertising, sponsored content and press releases.
- Affiliate links are disclosed and don’t sway our recommendations.
- Editorial is independent and never for sale.
- We follow the FTC endorsement guidelines.
- Questions? Reach us via the contact page.
Purpose of this policy
This disclosure exists so readers can always distinguish independent journalism from commercial material on Fullimedia. It sets out the labels we use, the arrangements they cover, and the principles behind them. It complements our how we make money page, which explains our revenue model in full.
How we label paid content
- Sponsored content — labeled as sponsored or paid; see sponsored content.
- Press releases — labeled as company-supplied announcements; see press release.
- Display advertising — presented as advertising, distinct from editorial; see advertise.
- Partnership content — any paid element within a partnership is labeled.
Affiliate and referral links
Some articles may contain affiliate or referral links. If you click one and take an action, Fullimedia may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We disclose affiliate relationships and, critically, they don’t influence which products or services our writers recommend. Editorial judgment comes first; the link is incidental.
What “clearly labeled” means to us
A label only works if a reasonable reader notices and understands it. So we aim for disclosure that’s clear, close to the content and in plain language — not hidden in a footer or buried in jargon. This reflects the spirit of the FTC endorsement guidelines, which call for disclosures that are hard to miss and easy to understand.
Editorial independence
Independent reporting on Fullimedia is decided by our newsroom on merit. Advertisers and sponsors don’t review it, shape it or pay for it. Paid content can never be presented as independent journalism, and a commercial relationship never earns softer coverage or protection from scrutiny.
What we don’t allow
- Paid content presented as independent editorial without a label.
- Undisclosed or disguised paid links.
- Misleading claims in any paid placement.
- Any arrangement that hides a commercial interest from readers.
Gifts, samples and sponsored access
If a review or article involves a free product, sample, trip or sponsored access, we disclose that too, because it’s the kind of relationship a reader would want to know about. Disclosure doesn’t change our assessment — it just makes the context visible.
Corrections and accountability
If we ever get a disclosure wrong, tell us and we’ll fix it. Accountability is part of the policy, not an afterthought. We treat a missing or unclear label as a genuine error to correct, the same as any factual mistake in our reporting.
How to contact us
