Advertising Disclosure

Updated January 12, 2024

Chweya, accepts advertising but are committed to maintaining a clear and strict separation between advertising and our editorial content. We take special care to ensure that advertisements are presented in a way that does not disrupt your reading experience. This includes thoughtful page design and a careful selection of the number of ads featured on each page.

Chweya maintains a distinct separation between advertising and editorial content.

• In some cases, editorial may include links to partners for which Investopedia receives an affiliate commission (See ‘How We Make Money’ for more details). The placement of these links is not influenced by payment, and editorial reserves the right to change, modify or remove them at any time in order to provide the best experience to users.

How We Make Money

The way that we’re able to offer over 2,000 articles of great content on our website for free is by partnering with advertisers and affiliate partners who are looking to reach consumers. This can take a number of different forms, and we’ll walk through those below. It’s important to note that we maintain strict editorial independence for all of our content, particularly on reviews and recommendations. If a product is great, we’ll tell you even if we don’t have an advertising relationship. If we think a product is bad, we’ll tell you that, even if we DO have an advertising relationship with them. While we do recommend and review products regardless of any advertising relationships, we may not have reviewed every product available in a given category.

Affiliate Links to Advertisers

In some cases, we may have an affiliate relationship with a product that we review, and so when you click on an “Open Account” button or sometimes a hyperlink on the product’s name in those cases we may receive compensation either when you click on it or if you decide to sign up for the product. Whether or not we have an advertiser in place does not change the placement of the button or whether there’s a link for you to go to their website.

Comparison/Rate Tables Featuring Advertisers

On some review/recommendations we may include a comparison table of products that are offers from advertisers. While we do work hard with partners to try and surface the best paid offers possible in these comparison tables, it’s important to note that they are NOT editorially selected. Here’s an example of what that can look like, notice the Advertising Disclosure link in the top right corner:

Display Ads

Some review/recommendations may include display advertising on them, which will be labelled as advertisements and are easily recognized.
