Advertising Policy

1. Purpose of Advertising

At ptutorials, we display advertisements to support our platform's operation and growth. Advertising revenue directly funds:

  • Website hosting, maintenance, and development costs
  • Creation of free educational content and tutorials
  • Platform security enhancements and user support
  • Continuous improvement of learning resources

Editorial Independence: Advertising does not influence our content creation, course recommendations, or editorial decisions. All educational content remains objective, unbiased, and created for the sole benefit of our users.

2. How Ads Are Served on Our Platform

Advertising Partners

We partner exclusively with Google AdSense and its certified advertising partners to serve advertisements on our website. This ensures:

  • Compliance with industry standards and regulations
  • Quality control and malicious ad filtering
  • Transparent advertising practices

Ad Selection Process

Advertisements displayed on ptutorials.com are:

  • Automatically Selected: We do not manually choose specific advertisements

  • Interest-Based: Ads may reflect your interests based on browsing history
  • Location-Based: Ads may be tailored to your geographic location

Ad Formats

You may encounter the following ad formats:

  • Display banners
  • Text-based advertisements
  • Responsive ads that adapt to your device

3. Content & Advertisement Distinction

To maintain transparency and prevent confusion, we strictly adhere to the following guidelines:

  • All advertisements are clearly labeled as "Ad," "Sponsored," or "Advertisement"
  • No advertisements are disguised as navigation buttons, download links, or system alerts
  • Advertisements never mimic our website's design elements in a misleading way
  • We maintain clear visual separation between content and advertisements

Important: Access to our educational content is never conditioned on clicking advertisements. All learning materials remain freely accessible regardless of ad interaction.

4. User Safety & External Link Disclaimer

⚠️ CRITICAL SAFETY NOTICE:

While we work with reputable advertising networks, we cannot control or guarantee the safety of every external website linked through advertisements.

Before Clicking Any Ad or External Link:

  1. Verify the URL: Hover over the link to see the destination URL before clicking
  2. Check for HTTPS: Look for the padlock icon 🔒 in your browser's address bar
  3. Research Unknown Companies: Search for company reviews before providing any information
  4. Avoid Suspicious Offers: Be cautious of "too good to be true" promotions or urgent calls to action
  5. Never Share Sensitive Information: Legitimate advertisers won't ask for passwords, Social Security numbers, or full credit card details via ad links

Our Commitment: We actively work with Google AdSense to block known malicious advertisers, but user vigilance remains essential. If you encounter a suspicious advertisement, please report it to us immediately.
