ADVERTISING POLICY

Ads must stay separate from the tool, the output, and the user's decision.

FastTool uses advertising and may evaluate direct sponsorship to keep browser tools free, but placement is deliberately conservative. Ads and sponsor notes are not designed as buttons, progress states, download controls, tool results, or navigation traps. During approval-readiness work, ad loading is restricted and reviewed against publisher-content, privacy, sponsorship disclosure, and invalid-traffic safeguards.

CURRENT IMPLEMENTATION

What FastTool does before expanding ad placements

AreaFastTool ruleWhy it matters
Ad loadingThe Google AdSense loader is kept restrained during approval work and is not added broadly to thin, legal, trust, support, or task-output surfaces.Google Publisher Policies restrict ads on screens without publisher content, low-value pages, and pages where ads interfere with content or interaction.
Tool workspacesInputs, run buttons, result panels, copy buttons, downloads, and receipts must remain visually distinct from ads.Users must never be nudged into accidental ad interaction while trying to complete a task.
Invalid trafficFastTool does not ask users, friends, contractors, or reviewers to click ads. Internal testing must avoid ad clicks.Ad clicks and impressions must reflect genuine user interest, not artificial activity.
Low-value inventoryPages that are generic, duplicated, under construction, or not useful enough are candidates for improvement, merge, redirect, or noindex rather than ad expansion.Ad-supported pages need clear publisher content and a satisfying user purpose.
PrivacyPrivacy and cookie disclosures explain local tool processing where supported, hosting logs, analytics, Google AdSense, sponsor inquiries, and user ad choices.Advertising telemetry must be disclosed separately from browser-local tool input.
Direct sponsorshipSponsor inquiries require current traffic proof, clear disclosure, and no paid-link, fake-traffic, or guaranteed-ranking promises.Direct monetization must not damage trust, search quality, or tool completion.

Ad placement standard

  • No ad may cover, push away, or visually replace the active tool result.
  • No ad may sit inside a form control, output receipt, download area, or error state.
  • No ad may be labeled or styled as a required step to finish a tool task.
  • Mobile layouts must keep the primary task visible before monetization experiments expand.

Content standard

  • Indexable pages should have a clear purpose, original utility, examples, verification notes, and honest limits.
  • AI-assisted or templated pages must add practical workflow value instead of repeating commodity descriptions.
  • High-risk finance, health, legal, and security pages must avoid professional-advice claims.
  • Pages that do not pass the quality bar are improved, consolidated, redirected, or removed from search surfaces.
