Which ads are on the site?
The only ads on the site are those of the two businesses that support it: Otel Akçakoca and Boğaziçi Restaurant. These two businesses support the site; the site does not list, rank or recommend any other business.
How are ads marked?
- Every banner carries a clearly visible "Advertisement" label.
- Banner links are marked with
rel="sponsored"so that search engines understand them too. - Banners sit in their own areas, separate from editorial texts. There are at most two banners on a page.
- No pop-ups, full-screen ads or flashing ads are used.
Content stays impartial
Texts about places to visit, beaches and local food are written independently of advertisers. No business names appear in the texts; businesses aren't recommended even on topics like "where to eat". No content, rankings or reviews are published in exchange for payment.
This approach complies with Turkey's Regulation on Commercial Advertising and Unfair Commercial Practices, which prohibits covert advertising. No alcoholic drinks are advertised.
Measurement and privacy
No cookies or personal data are used for the ads. How many times a banner is clicked can only be seen on the advertiser's own site, through the source tag (UTM) added to the link.
