- Advt Policy:
Please ensure that you read this revised advertising policy (20th April 2023) based on your understanding of the Attention Note.
As you have already understood, our news portals are not ordinary content pumping websites that run on a traffic basis. Instead, they are distinguished eMedia brands. Names like Auto World Journal, Britain Herald, Emirati Times, GCC Business News and Trade World News inherently exhibit their robust brand power, evident just from their names. Consequently, our advertising rates aren’t determined by traffic, but rather by brand value. These rates will be flat and consistent. However, we do keep room for negotiation, particularly for regular PR, GP and advertising agencies.
Such as, our dedication lies in providing readers with accurate, trustworthy, and insightful news while also offering advertisers optimal platforms for promoting their products and services. Additionally, we strive to deliver the best possible experience for both our readers and advertisers. To uphold these standards, we have established the following advertising policy.
ACCEPTABLE ADVERTISEMENTS:
We accept all forms of advertisements from companies, organizations, and individuals that align with our values and mission. We reserve the right to reject or remove any advertisement that we deem inappropriate, offensive, or violates our standards of integrity and transparency.
PUBLISHING NICHE CONTENT:
None of WellMade Network’s eMedia brands will publish articles related to CBD, casinos, simulated sexual activity supplements, pornography, violence, or drugs and anything that is illegal or visibly harmful to society as our Editorial Policy forbids us from the same. Articles falling into other categories such as Loan / Finance / Forex / eMoney etc will be published with disclaimers placed under rare circumstances. An example of such as disclaimer is shared below:

INSERT CUSTOM SCRIPT:
In order to keep our platforms secure and prevent data misuse, we’ve set a policy against adding any forms, codes, or scripts into content uploaded on our news portals.
