Advertising Policy

1. Why We Show Ads

MyIQScores.com is free to use — there is no paywall on the test or on any article. Advertising is how we fund the site. We aim to keep ads clearly separated from content and never let advertisers influence what we write.

2. Our Advertising Partner

Display advertising on this site is served through Google AdSense. Google and its certified partners select the ads shown; we do not choose individual advertisers. Where required by law, personalized advertising is only shown with your consent — see our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy.

3. Our Placement Standards

• Ads are labeled and visually distinct from quiz questions, results, and article content
• Ads are never placed where they could be mistaken for quiz answers, navigation, or buttons
• We do not use pop-ups that block content, auto-redirects, or ads that require dismissal to continue
• During the test, ad positions are limited and kept away from answer options and the Next button
• We do not artificially refresh or reload ads to inflate impressions

4. Editorial Independence

Advertisers have no influence over our editorial content, quiz questions, or scores. We do not publish sponsored content presented as editorial. If we ever publish sponsored material, it will be clearly labeled as such. See our Editorial Policy.

5. Other Revenue

In addition to advertising, we offer optional paid extras (a detailed score report and a printable certificate) processed securely through Stripe. These are optional purchases — the test and your results are always free.

6. Reporting a Problem Ad

If you see an ad on this site that is inappropriate, misleading, or broken, please email support@myiqscores.com with the page URL and a description (a screenshot helps). We will review and, where possible, block the ad category or advertiser.
