Ads Policy

// LAST_UPDATED Sep 2026

Motivation.GG runs a small native ad surface. Every campaign is human-reviewed before it goes live. The rules are short and we hold to them.

// WHAT_WE_ACCEPT

  • Brands, products, courses, books, gear, events
  • SaaS, apps, newsletters, podcasts
  • Coaching + community sponsorships
  • Anything tonally aligned with motivation, focus, growth, fitness, faith

// WHAT_WE_REJECT

  • Adult, sexual, or suggestive content
  • Gambling, betting, lotteries, get-rich-quick
  • Weapons, drugs, tobacco, vaping
  • Crypto pump schemes, ICOs, leveraged trading signals
  • Malware, scareware, fake virus warnings, fake "system" UI
  • Auto-redirect, auto-download, deceptive download buttons
  • Hate, harassment, political attack ads
  • Anything that misrepresents itself or its destination

// CREATIVE_REQUIREMENTS

  • PNG, JPG, WebP, or animated GIF
  • Max 200 KB per file (we re-encode for serve)
  • No flashing strobe (3+ flashes/sec) — accessibility
  • Click-through must land where the creative claims
  • HTML snippets are accepted but scripts are stripped

// SLOT_SIZES

We support all 17 IAB standard sizes. Pick what fits your creative — we'll surface it on the matching slot.

// HOW_WE_BILL

  • Pay total budget up front (Card / PayPal / Crypto)
  • Spend is metered against verified human impressions only
  • Hourly pacing prevents budget burn early in the day
  • Frequency cap of 8 impressions/user/day protects CTR

// REFUND_POLICY

  • Declined campaigns: full refund
  • Cancel before approval: full refund
  • Cancel mid-flight: refund of unspent budget
  • Refunds return to the original payment method within 5–10 business days

// DISCLOSURE

Every served creative is labeled Ad in compliance with the FTC's Endorsement Guides. We do not run native sponcon disguised as editorial content on this surface — that's a separate program with its own labeling.

// PRIVACY

We do not set tracking cookies for ads. Impressions are deduplicated by a salted hash of the visitor's IP, never the raw IP. We don't share buyer-collected data with networks because there are no networks — this is a first-party serve.
