How we place ads

  • We do not place ads over content or make them look like buttons or navigation.
  • We do not place them on our legal pages, forms, calculators or error pages.
  • We reserve space for them so that the page does not jump while you read.
  • We do not ask anyone to click on ads.

Ads and our editorial content

Advertisers do not choose or review what we write. An ad on our site is not a recommendation, and we do not control every ad that a network selects. If you see an ad that seems misleading, please let us know through our contact form.

Ad networks in the US may not target credit offers on the basis of certain characteristics, and you should judge any offer on its own terms, on the advertiser’s official website.

Your privacy choices

Advertising can involve cookies. Our Privacy Policy explains how and what your choices are.
