Traffic

Where a click can be bought, researched the same way the offers are. 6 of 7 have had their advertising policy read from the platform's own material and carry the date it was read; the rest are names with a sketch attached and say so.

Ordered by whether the platform will accept a destination like ours — a researched page carrying an affiliate link behind the button. A source that refuses that is worth nothing however cheap its clicks are, so cost comes second.

ChatGPT Ads Conditional Read 2026-09-08 Mid-question The only large paid surface where the person is mid-question rather than mid-scroll, and comparison questions are the most expensive inventory precisely because they are the most valuable.

Accepts

The policy permits a destination like ours.

Conditional

Permitted, but only where the page meets a stated bar. The condition is the whole story.

Refuses

The policy bars a destination like ours. Nothing else on the record matters.

Unstated

The policy does not address it. That is a finding, not permission — assuming otherwise is how an account gets suspended.

Ad policies change quietly and often, and a stale reading here is more dangerous than a stale payout figure, because acting on it means spending money. Every dated record links the policy page it was read from.
