How it works
- Tell us which option you would like through the contact form.
- We reply by email, agree the wording and photo with you, and send an invoice.
- Your advert goes live once the invoice is paid.
No checkout, and no contract beyond the minimum term. Every advert is labelled Advertisement or Sponsor, and paid links are marked as sponsored for search engines.
Where adverts never appear
- On the reserve guides, so no partnership with the people who run the reserves is implied
- On the contact, privacy, terms and advertise pages
- Inside the text of a post or guide
- Next to another advert: there is at most one on any page
An advert is a photo, a few words and a link: no advert networks, tracking cookies or third-party scripts.
