Advertising, Sponsorships, & Paid Link Policy

carolineprice.com occasionally accepts sponsored content, advertising, and paid link placements. To protect the integrity of this site, our readers, and our search engine standing, all partnerships must adhere to the following guidelines:

1. Editorial Control & Right of Refusal We reserve the right to review, approve, edit, or reject any sponsored content, anchor text, or target URL. We retain full editorial control over where a link is placed. We do not place sponsored links or advertisements within sensitive, deeply personal content or posts detailing personal health and trauma.

2. FTC Disclosure & SEO Compliance Transparency is a priority. All paid placements, gifted items, and sponsored links will be clearly disclosed to readers in accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines. Furthermore, strictly abiding by Google’s Webmaster Guidelines, all paid or sponsored links will be tagged with a rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow" attribute. We do not accept payment for “do-follow” links under any circumstances.

3. Content Restrictions We will not accept sponsorships, guest posts, or link insertions from the following industries:

  • Gambling or betting sites
  • Payday loans or predatory lending
  • Adult content
  • Unverified medical claims, pharmaceuticals, or supplements
  • Any content deemed irrelevant, misleading, or inappropriate for our readership.

4. Payment Terms & Maintenance All sponsored placements require 100% upfront payment prior to publication or link activation. Once a link is published and live, fees are non-refundable. Unless otherwise negotiated, sponsored links will remain live for the lifetime of the specific blog post or page. If the target URL becomes broken, redirects to a restricted category, or engages in malicious behavior, the link will be removed without a refund.

5. Partner with Us If your brand or client aligns with our values and you are interested in a sponsored placement, please contact hello@carolineprice.com with your target URL, proposed anchor text, and campaign goals for a custom rate quote.
