This page describes the advertising and product review policy of EcoTech daily, a Vida Verde Media publication.

Advertising

EcoTech Daily is an advertiser-supported website. We both solicit and accept a variety of display-type advertising: banners, BlogAds, and text-based ads.

Following contemporary industry standards, display advertising is never placed in a manner to suggest it is actually part of this site’s editorial content. We reserve the right to reject any ad not compatible with EcoTech Daily’s purpose or aesthetic, or for any other reason.

Content-based advertising — commercial messages or sponsored features placed within the context of this site’s content — will be clearly labeled as such.

We do not accept link-style advertising or keyword sponsorships on EcoTech Daily.

Inquiries about advertising may be addressed to our Sales department through the site’s contact form.

Product Reviews

Due to the nature of EcoTech Daily, product reviews are a normal feature of our editorial content.

At this time, EcoTech Daily does not accept paid product reviews.

We do, by prior arrangement with certain vendors, accept relevant products or services for evaluation. Should we choose to later review this product on EcoTech Daily, the fact that evaluation samples were provided to us will be clearly indicated within the content of the review.

In no case will we ever guarantee a favorable review to the vendor of a product or service, or to their agents or representatives. The opinions expressed in EcoTech Daily’s product reviews are entirely our own. We will not guarantee a vendor hypertext links, anchor texts, or any other thing of value beyond the policies stated above.

Contracted Writers

From time to time, EcoTech Daily utilizes the services of outside or contracted writers. We require these writers to affirm the content of our Advertising and Product Review policy.

We do not permit writers to address people, products, companies, or issues in which they have familial or financial, either currently or within the past twelve months. Writers are explicitly forbidden to accept compensation or anything of value from a third party in connection with their writing for EcoTech Daily.

Summary

It is our intention for EcoTech Daily to provide informed and independent commentary on green technology, products, and issues of interest to our readers. We will never knowingly conceal the sponsorship of any editorial feature, or the commercial nature of anything appearing on our site.
