IT Cert Compass is a reader-supported education website. This Advertising Policy explains how advertising and affiliate relationships work on this site — and the boundaries we set to protect our editorial independence.
How the site is funded
We may earn revenue through display advertising and affiliate links. This means that if you click on certain links on our site — for example, links to exam registration pages, training providers, or study materials — and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the merchant at no extra cost to you. This revenue helps us keep our guides free to read.
Editorial independence
Advertising and affiliate relationships do not influence what we write. Specifically:
- Our opinions, comparisons, and recommendations are our own. No advertiser or affiliate partner pays for favorable coverage.
- We do not publish paid rankings. If a guide compares options, the comparison reflects our editorial judgment, not who pays us.
- Advertisers do not review or approve our content before publication.
Disclosure
We believe in being upfront. Pages that contain affiliate links include a clear disclosure notice. If we ever publish content that is sponsored or paid for by a third party, it will be prominently labeled as sponsored so you can tell it apart from our independent editorial content.
What we won’t advertise
We do not accept advertising from sellers of exam dumps, leaked exam content, or any service that violates certification providers’ exam policies. We also avoid promoting “guaranteed pass” schemes or any offer that we believe would mislead readers.
If you have questions about how we handle advertising, contact us at info@onlineitcertifications.site.
