Editorial Policy
Read how money.you researches, writes, reviews, corrects, and updates practical financial education without paid rankings or invented expertise.
People-first scope
Every page must serve a clear reader decision within our six-topic scope. We do not create pages merely because a keyword exists, rewrite another publisher without adding value, or publish unrelated third-party material to borrow this domain's reputation.
Research and review
Writers begin with primary sources such as regulators, account disclosures, statutes, and official program guidance. A review checks the title and H1, arithmetic, material caveats, link labels, source quality, and whether the page does what its introduction promises.
Commercial separation
Third-party notification or advertising revenue does not determine topics, conclusions, rankings, sources, or calculator outputs. money.you does not accept payment from a bank, lender, card issuer, investment platform, or advertiser for a favorable editorial placement. Commercial technology and data practices are disclosed in the Privacy Policy.
Automation and contributed articles
Automation may move an article into the publishing system, sanitize markup, and enforce scheduling. It does not make weak content indexable. Imported pages that lack sufficient substance and independent sources receive a noindex directive. External links in imported content are marked nofollow.
Corrections
Material errors are corrected promptly. The review date changes only after a substantive check. Send a correction with the page URL, disputed statement, and supporting source through our contact page.
The page-level review checklist
Intent and usefulness
The title, H1, opening answer, and page content must solve the same reader problem without padding or a hidden commercial detour.
Claims and calculations
Material facts need suitable sources. Examples and calculator outputs are checked for units, assumptions, edge cases, and misleading precision.
Links and presentation
Anchor text must describe its destination. Headings, tables, lists, image text, and mobile layout must help readers scan without changing the meaning.
