Advertising
You cannot buy a rank. We also do not buy traffic. Search ads will not beat Wirecutter on "best phone." If we ever test spend, it is only to learn which query converts an Amazon tag — not to inflate pageviews.
Not for sale
Scores, order, and skip-if lines are editorial. A banner never moves a number.
Not bought
We do not run Google/Bing search ads to manufacture visits. Affiliate programmes are disclosure, not paid traffic.
Display, later
Homepage and ranking-adjacent units if the audience exists. Labelled Advertisement, hard borders, off the ranking template.
Friday list
One sponsor slot only after the email is a real weekly. Text plus one link. No fake 'our pick'.
Rate card when display exists: ads@besttop10tech.com. Until then the honest path is Amazon Associates (labelled) and sending people to original notes — not AdSense, not Ezoic, not buying the query.
