Transparency matters.

Commercial relationships help support the operation and growth of Modern IT Brief. When a financial or other material relationship is relevant to how readers may interpret our content, our goal is to disclose that relationship clearly.

01

How Modern IT Brief May Generate Revenue

Modern IT Brief may generate revenue through several channels as the publication grows.

Advertising

Display Advertising

Advertisements may be displayed directly or through third-party advertising platforms such as Google AdSense.

Affiliate

Modern IT Brief may receive commissions when readers purchase products or services through qualifying links.

Sponsored

Sponsored Content

Companies may pay Modern IT Brief to publish or collaborate on clearly identified sponsored content.

Partnerships

Commercial Partnerships

We may work with technology companies, agencies and other organizations through campaigns, sponsorships and other commercial arrangements.

02

Affiliate Links

Some links published on Modern IT Brief may be affiliate links.

If you click an affiliate link and purchase a qualifying product or service, Modern IT Brief may receive a commission or other compensation from the provider.

Unless otherwise stated, using an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay.

When an article contains material affiliate relationships, we aim to provide a clear disclosure within or near the relevant content.

03

Affiliate Disclosure Within Articles

This general disclosure page does not replace disclosures that may be appropriate within individual articles.

When applicable, Modern IT Brief may include a notice near the beginning of an article such as:

Example disclosure

This article may contain affiliate links. Modern IT Brief may receive a commission if you purchase a product or service through certain links in this article.

04

Sponsored Content

Modern IT Brief may publish content created in collaboration with or financially supported by a company, agency or other commercial partner.

Sponsored content may include:

  • Sponsored articles;
  • Partner content;
  • Sponsored guides;
  • Branded research;
  • Sponsored product coverage;
  • Newsletter sponsorships;
  • Paid campaigns; and
  • Other clearly disclosed commercial collaborations.

Where appropriate, sponsored material may be identified using labels such as:

  • Sponsored;
  • Sponsored Content;
  • Partner Content;
  • Paid Partnership; or
  • Advertisement.
05

Advertising and Google AdSense

Modern IT Brief may display advertising through Google AdSense or other advertising networks and platforms.

Advertising services may use cookies and similar technologies to deliver, personalize and measure advertisements, depending on applicable privacy requirements and user preferences.

Advertisements displayed through third-party advertising networks may be selected automatically and may not represent products or services specifically reviewed or endorsed by Modern IT Brief.

The appearance of an advertisement on Modern IT Brief should not automatically be interpreted as an editorial endorsement of the advertiser.

06

Editorial Independence

Revenue relationships do not automatically determine our editorial conclusions.

Modern IT Brief retains editorial discretion regarding:

  • Which companies are covered;
  • Which products are included in comparisons;
  • How products and services are evaluated;
  • Which topics are published;
  • How articles are structured; and
  • What conclusions or recommendations are presented.

An advertiser, affiliate partner or sponsor does not automatically receive favorable editorial treatment.

07

Product Reviews and Recommendations

Modern IT Brief may review or recommend technology products and services that also participate in affiliate programs or commercial partnerships.

A commercial relationship may be one factor relevant to disclosure, but it does not necessarily mean that the product is recommended because compensation is available.

We aim to evaluate products based on factors relevant to readers, which may include features, value, usability, security, integrations, target audience and other practical considerations.

08

Free Products, Trials and Access

Technology companies may occasionally provide Modern IT Brief with free or temporary access to software, products, demonstrations, events or other resources.

When such access creates a material relationship relevant to an endorsement, recommendation or review, we may disclose it within the relevant content.

Receiving free access does not guarantee favorable coverage or publication.

09

Paid Mentions and Commercial Placements

Modern IT Brief may consider commercial opportunities involving brand mentions, sponsored placements or other forms of paid exposure where appropriate.

Acceptance of a commercial opportunity remains subject to our editorial standards, relevance to our audience and applicable advertising, disclosure and search engine guidelines.

Payment does not guarantee that every proposed link, claim, product mention or placement will be accepted.

10

Links to Third-Party Websites

Not every external link published by Modern IT Brief is paid, sponsored or affiliated.

Many external links are included solely because they provide useful supporting information, reference a source, identify a company or direct readers to a relevant resource.

A link to another website does not automatically indicate a commercial relationship.

11

Changes to Commercial Relationships

Partnerships, affiliate programs, advertisers and monetization platforms may change over time.

An article may continue to contain useful editorial information even after a previous affiliate or commercial relationship has ended.

Modern IT Brief may update links and disclosures when reasonably appropriate.

12

Our Commitment to Readers

Monetization allows Modern IT Brief to invest in content, research, technology and the continued operation of the publication.

Our objective is to balance commercial sustainability with usefulness and transparency for readers.

When a financial relationship may reasonably affect how readers interpret a recommendation or piece of content, our goal is to make that relationship understandable rather than hide it.
