This page explains how Punctuation Checker is funded and how that does, and does not, affect what you see on punctuation-checker.com. It applies to the whole site.

How the site is funded

Punctuation Checker is free to use. Its running costs, including hosting, development and the time spent writing guides, are covered by advertising. We do not charge for the punctuation checker and do not ask you to register. The ads earn the same whatever the punctuation checker tells you, which means nothing pushes us to bend its results.

Ads from third-party networks

Ads on the site are served by third-party advertising networks. Which ad you see is decided by the network, normally by automated systems that consider the page and, where allowed, your interests. We do not choose individual advertisers, and an ad appearing here is not a recommendation. How these networks use cookies is explained in our Privacy Policy.

No paid reviews or endorsements

No one can pay us for a review, a recommendation or a favourable mention. If a guide refers to a product, a brand or a technique, it does so because it helps explain the topic. Likewise, nobody can pay to have a fair criticism removed.

Paid placements

Paid links, if any appear, carry a clear sponsored label. Such links are also marked nofollow (or rel=“sponsored”), so search engines do not treat them as editorial recommendations. Every other link is editorial and placed because it helps the reader.

What this means for you

In exchange for free access you will see ads, which we try to keep out of the way of the tool itself. Please let us know about any ad that seems deceptive or unsuitable, with the page address, so that we can report it to the network that served it. An ad blocker will not stop the punctuation checker from working.

Editorial independence

Neither advertisers nor ad networks influence how the punctuation checker works or what the guides say. Our guides are written to explain the tool and its results; ads do not change their content.

If we find a mistake, we correct it. You can report one at [email protected].
