ChicMags links to other websites only when it helps readers. This policy explains how we handle links in our articles, guest posts and sponsored content, following Google’s guidance on qualifying outbound links.
1. Links must help readers
Every link should be relevant to the article and lead somewhere trustworthy. We remove links that are unrelated, low quality or misleading.
2. How we mark links
- Sponsored content: any link that is paid for, or exchanged for anything of value, carries
rel="sponsored". Sponsored articles are labelled. - Guest posts and author bios: links carry
rel="nofollow". - Affiliate links (if any):
rel="sponsored". - Editorial links our editor adds to sources and references are normal links.
3. Links we don’t accept
Gambling, adult or escort services, dating-service promotion, loans or crypto schemes, CBD or cannabis, unapproved medical treatments, malware or phishing, and any site that is part of a link scheme or private blog network.
4. Links change over time
We review links regularly. Broken, redirected, repurposed or non-compliant links may be updated, re-qualified or removed without notice. Publication or payment does not guarantee a permanent link.
