Advertising and Commercial Disclosure Policy
How paid campaigns, house promotions, video advertising and commercial links are governed.
Last updated: 28 August 2026
Clear labelling and separation
Paid placements are labelled as advertisements or sponsored content and remain distinguishable from independent editorial articles. In-article video advertising carries a visible Sponsored label. Dev Global Jobs house promotions may appear in designated placements. Advertising volume and presentation should not obscure the main editorial purpose of an article.
Editorial independence
Advertising does not buy favourable coverage, editorial approval, do-follow links, ranking credit, search visibility or endorsement. Editorial decisions remain separate from campaign sales, payment and performance.
Review before activation
Submitting or paying does not guarantee approval. We may review advertiser identity, destination security, claims, targeting, creative rights, accessibility, video or audio ownership and policy compliance before activation and may request evidence supporting material claims.
Creative and intellectual-property rights
Advertisers must hold all commercial rights and permissions required for supplied text, images, logos, trademarks, video, voice, music, captions and other assets. Display images and video posters must be owned or properly licensed for advertising use. We may reject or remove creative with unclear rights, deceptive presentation, unsafe code or infringement risk.
Prohibited advertising
We reject deceptive recruitment, paid job offers, guaranteed employment or visas, malware, unlawful products, discriminatory recruitment, materially misleading earnings or financial claims, deceptive interface controls, impersonation, unverified medical claims and creative that falsely imitates system or publisher messages.
Search-quality and sponsored-link rules
Paid advertising and sponsored destinations do not pass editorial ranking credit. Paid links use sponsored and nofollow attributes. We do not sell do-follow links, publish advertorials designed mainly to manipulate search rankings, or host third-party commercial material primarily to exploit World Careers Hub's search reputation.
Display and video delivery
Display and video campaigns use separate inventory pools. Eligible paid campaigns are filtered by status, payment, active dates, creative validity, category and country targeting. Standard and Category Targeted campaigns use the standard scheduler weight; Premium Priority uses a three-times base weight. Within eligible inventory, recency and any configured delivery target can adjust pacing so new campaigns do not automatically displace older active campaigns.
Frequency and reader experience
Video uses a soft frequency preference: when alternative eligible campaigns exist, a campaign that has already recorded two viewable impressions for the same first-party viewer key within 24 hours is deprioritised. If no alternative eligible campaign is available, the system may continue serving the paid campaign rather than leaving inventory blank. Browser consent and privacy controls can limit frequency precision.
Video advertising
The dedicated article video placement is separate from the display placements. Video creative loads near its placement and may autoplay only when sufficiently viewable and permitted by the browser. Playback starts muted, sound is enabled only by reader action, playback pauses when the placement leaves view, and mobile playback remains inline where supported. Reduced-motion and accessibility restrictions are respected.
Measurement and reporting
Display reports may distinguish delivery, viewable impressions and filtered clicks. Video reports may also include starts, 25%, 50% and 75% progress, completions, mute or unmute interactions and CTA clicks. A video viewable event requires at least 50% of the placement to remain visible for approximately two continuous seconds. Technical events, reach estimates and pacing indicators do not guarantee unique people, conversions or business outcomes.
Campaign changes and enforcement
We may pause or remove unsafe, materially changed, unpaid, expired, deceptive or rights-infringing campaigns. Material changes to destination, creative or claims may require another review. House promotions are fallback inventory and do not override eligible paid campaigns under the paid-first delivery rules.
Billing, refunds and commercial records
Campaign charges, payment verification, refunds, credits and any written delivery commitment are recorded against the relevant campaign. Advertisers should keep their own invoices and payment evidence. Refunds or credits depend on the applicable campaign terms, verified delivery issue and mandatory legal rights; they are not created merely because a campaign receives fewer clicks, conversions or business outcomes than expected.
Creator revenue pools, trusted outcomes and payouts
Approved authors may participate in a shared author pool equal to 20% of finalized monthly net eligible paid display and video advertising revenue. A separate affiliate pool, also equal to 20%, rewards verified outcomes from signed sharing links: fraud-reviewed trusted reading, verified member referrals and qualifying first paid advertiser conversions. If both pools are fully allocated, the planned maximum split is 20% authors, 20% affiliates and 60% publisher. If no eligible paid-ad revenue is recognized for a month, both base pools and creator earnings are USD 0 regardless of reads or referrals. House ads contribute no revenue, individual ads are not assigned to authors, and raw views, raw clicks, anonymous traffic, self-referrals, refreshes, bots, replayed events and manipulated activity do not earn. Author Tier 2–5 and affiliate outcome units are proportional allocation weights inside fixed pools, not guaranteed dollar-per-thousand rates. First valid affiliate attribution is stored securely for 30 days and suspicious account or network clusters are held for review. Author and affiliate balances, reservations and payout histories remain separate. Finalized balances below USD 500 carry forward; at USD 500 a participant may request a manual Wise or IBAN payout. Partial payment leaves the remainder intact. Private payout details are encrypted and restricted to authorised operations, every status and adjustment is auditable, and a Paid update sends email confirmation. The Monday Briefing subscription is created only after explicit registration consent and email verification and can be unsubscribed at any time. Earnings, traffic, indexing, ranking, Discover, News or AI-search visibility are never guaranteed.
