Quick answer: This advertising disclosure explains how Cryptocurrency Miners labels commercial content — advertising, sponsored content, press releases and affiliate links — and how we keep it separate from independent editorial. Our aim is simple: you should always be able to tell what is paid and what is not, in line with the FTC endorsement guidelines.
Key takeaways
- What this is: our advertising disclosure and sponsored content policy.
- Labelling: all paid or company-supplied content is clearly marked.
- Affiliate links: disclosed; we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
- Independence: commercial deals never buy coverage, ranking or reviews.
- YMYL: nothing on this site is financial advice.
Why we disclose
Clear disclosure is both a legal expectation and the right thing to do. Readers make better decisions when they know who stands behind a piece of content, and honest labelling protects the trust our reporting depends on. This policy sets out the different types of commercial content on Cryptocurrency Miners and exactly how each is identified.
Regulators such as the US Federal Trade Commission expect material connections between a publisher and an advertiser to be disclosed clearly and prominently, and we treat that as a floor rather than a ceiling. Beyond meeting the rules, we want disclosure to be genuinely useful to you: not a line of legal text you scroll past, but a clear signal that helps you weigh what you are reading. In a field where money and hype are never far apart, that clarity is one of the most valuable things a publication can offer, and we would rather be known for it than for anything we could gain by hiding it.
Types of commercial content and how we label them
- Sponsored content — branded articles marked as “sponsored” or equivalent.
- Press releases — company-supplied announcements labelled as such.
- Advertising — display placements identified as adverts.
- Affiliate links — accompanied by a disclosure where they appear.
- Partnerships — each commercial element within them is labelled individually.
How affiliate links work
Some pages may include affiliate links. If you click one and then sign up or make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. We only include a product or service because we consider it relevant, never because of the commission, and the presence of an affiliate link never changes our assessment. Affiliate relationships are disclosed in keeping with the FTC endorsement guidelines.
How we keep editorial independent
Commercial content is kept separate from our independent reporting. Advertisers and sponsors have no say over editorial, and paying us never buys favourable coverage, a higher ranking or a positive review. When our team writes about a company that also advertises or sponsors, that relationship does not influence the reporting — and where it is relevant, we say so.
We also design the pages so the distinction is obvious at a glance rather than buried in small print. A sponsored article looks like what it is, a press release is identified as company-supplied, and an advert is recognisable as an advert. The goal is that no reader ever finishes a piece and feels misled about who was behind it. If you ever spot content on Cryptocurrency Miners that you think is insufficiently labelled, please tell us — we treat that as a serious issue and will correct it.
How disclosure protects you
Disclosure is not box-ticking; it exists so you can judge content on the right terms. Knowing that an article is sponsored, or that a link is affiliate, tells you to read it as one interested party’s perspective rather than as neutral reporting — useful information in any field, and especially in crypto, where hidden incentives are common and the stakes for your money are real. Clear labelling lets you take what is helpful from commercial content while keeping a healthy, informed scepticism, which is exactly how we would want our own readers to approach it.
Our approach to affiliate relationships
Where we use affiliate links, we treat them as a convenience for the reader rather than a reason to recommend something. A product appears because it is relevant to the article, and the affiliate arrangement sits behind that decision, not in front of it. We do not rank or rate products by how much commission they pay, and we would include a strong option that pays us nothing over a weak one that pays well. If a commercial relationship ever made it impossible to write about a product honestly, we would rather leave it out than mislead you. That is the standard we apply across every affiliate link on the site.
What we do not do
We do not publish undisclosed paid content, sell editorial links or rankings, run guaranteed-return or price-prediction claims, or accept manipulative link schemes. If content is commercial, it is labelled; if it cannot be presented honestly and transparently, we do not run it. These are not aspirational statements — they are the lines we hold in practice, even when a deal would be lucrative, because a single hidden placement would undermine the credibility of everything else we publish.
Not financial advice
