Debtfreegrad -
Sponsorship and Advertising Policy
Debtfreegrad.com is a free site for all to use. To provide
this service free we rely on donations and revenue, that
comes from donors. We would, of course, love to offer this
without having ads, but we need revenue to pay for development,
hosting fees, marketing material, and coffee for staff when
they are working through the night to meet deadlines.
We do not endorse the advertisers and sponsors that appear
on our site, however we are selective about who is involved
in debtfreegrad.com. We try to have companies that offer
good value to students, are reliable and whom we feel have
integrity. Hence, you will not see tobacco companies on
our site, as we feel that using "integrity" and "Tobacco
Company" in the same sentence would be like using "Bill
Clinton" and "fidelity" in the same phrase!
We also bring on sponsers and advertisers whom we feel
are solution providers rather than, those simply trying
to make quick buck off students. We do, for example, have
computer sellers and long distance providers on board. We
do not have credit card venders in that to do so we feel
would run contrary to the message that we are trying to
get across.
It is important to note that the advertisers and sponsors
appearing on debtfreegrad do not have editorial
influence on our content. It may be that they have a product
or service that fares well in one of our reviews or articles,
but it is because the product or service stands on it’s
own. In order to retain neutrality when reviewing products,
we also tend to highlight a couple of them that we feel
offer good value, and let the reader decide on which is
best for them. What often happens is that we will do a feature
story and see that one company’s product or service, appears
to present good value, in which case we may approach them
regarding supporting our site.
If you have a bad experience with a company appearing on
our site, let us know and we will look into it.
If you have any questions about this please feel free to contact

Murray Baker
