Advertising Policy

Advertising Principles

OmniTrackr is built first as a media tracking app. Advertising should support the service without making the app harder to use, hiding content, imitating controls, or interrupting someone while they manage their collection.

Where Ads May Appear

After approval, OmniTrackr may show Google AdSense ads on public informational pages. Examples include tracking guides, media comparison pages, use cases, the demo library, the sample library, public reviews, and similar resources. The mixed landing and authenticated app shell are intentionally kept out of the ad-loader allowlist so sign-in, registration, and private tracking remain focused.

Ads should not be placed inside private account forms, password reset flows, account settings, collection editing forms, import/export controls, or friend/privacy controls. Logged-in user content and private collection data remain governed by account privacy settings and the Privacy Policy.

Public pages are chosen because they are meant to be read by visitors before signing in. Account areas are different: they contain personal libraries, ratings, notes, settings, and actions that should stay focused. If ads are enabled, OmniTrackr's intent is to keep monetization on the informational side of the site instead of mixing it into private workflows.

How Placements Are Reviewed

Ad placement should be checked against the same usability expectations as the rest of the site. A placement is not acceptable if it makes navigation unclear, covers a form, looks like a download button, pushes the main article below the fold on small screens, or interrupts a visitor who is trying to compare tracking options.

OmniTrackr also treats ad loading as optional. Public pages should remain readable when ads are unavailable, blocked, or delayed. The site should not depend on an ad script to render core text, public links, privacy disclosures, guide content, or review snippets.

• Ads should be visually distinct from OmniTrackr buttons and navigation.
• Ads should not appear in modal dialogs, forms, or account-management surfaces.
• Ads should leave enough spacing for readable guide content on mobile.
• Ads should be removed or adjusted if they reduce trust in the tracking experience.

Advertising Data and Choices

Google and advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, browser information, device identifiers, and similar technologies on pages that contain ads. These technologies can support ad serving, measurement, fraud prevention, reporting, and personalization where allowed.

Quality and User Experience

• No pop-up ad walls or forced interstitials are planned for normal media tracking.
• Ads should not push primary content off screen on mobile pages.
• Navigation, sign-in, registration, and public review links should remain easy to find.
• Public content should stay useful even if ads fail to load or a visitor blocks ads.

The goal is a sustainable free product, not an ad-heavy reading experience. OmniTrackr's public pages are written to explain real media tracking workflows: how to organize backlogs, compare alternatives, write better reviews, export data, and understand privacy choices. Ads should support that work without replacing it.

Ad Placement Review Checklist

Before adding or keeping a placement, OmniTrackr should check whether the page still works for someone who came to learn about media tracking rather than to click an ad. The article heading, navigation, primary explanation, related links, and privacy controls should remain visible and usable without waiting for an ad script.

• The page should still have useful original text, links, and structure when ads are blocked.
• The ad area should not sit between a form label and its input, or between a review title and review body.
• The placement should not be the first meaningful thing a visitor sees on a public guide.
• The placement should be removed from pages that are mainly legal, privacy, support, account, or authentication content.

This checklist keeps monetization secondary to trust. A visitor should be able to read a guide, compare tracker options, understand review quality standards, and decide whether to create an account without feeling pushed through an advertising funnel.
