DISCOVER NORTHERN CALIFORNIA'S
ADVERTISING POLICY
AND FULL DISCLOSURE OF REVENUE STREAMS

Discover Northern California is committed to providing you, our fans and visitors, with free quality information for your use in exploring the wonders of Northern California.

But there are expenses involved with producing any website. In order to offset those costs, we do participate in affiliate programs, and we accept advertising and sponsorship contributions. (Please take a look at our Full Disclosure of Revenue Streams below.)

Affiliate programs are selected for the quality of product and value of service they bring to our readers. Don't let the cat out of the bag, but these are companies that we have personally used and would recommend even if they didn't have an affiliate program.

Likewise, advertisers and sponsors are selected for their relevance to our readers' interests, and for the quality of product and/or service we believe they provide, although we cannot make any guarantees on their behalf.

We make many recommendations within our articles and pages - about where to go, what to see, and what to do in Northern California. We may even occasionally recommend a particular hotel, inn, or restaurant based on our personal experiences there.

We are also sometimes asked to do a review for which compensation is offered (monetary or in-kind). If so, the requesting party is informed that any opinions expressed in such review will be the honest opinion of the reviewer, and a positive review is in no way guaranteed.

In no case will any review be influenced by compensation received, and you, our readers, will always be informed of said compensation.

We would never recommend a product, company, or website to you that we did not believe in, and we certainly wouldn't allow a product review or recommendation to be influenced by monetary or in-kind compensation.

If you enjoy the free content provided to you at Discover Northern California and would like to help support our efforts, please join our ever-growing community by sharing your stories and comments with us, and by supporting our affiliates, advertisers, and sponsors.

Discover Northern California runs third party advertisements through Google Adsense which are clearly identifiable as advertisements.

You will see their advertisements and in-text links throughout the website.

Some sponsors pay a monthly fee for their advertising. Others pay a small commission when you click on their ads or text links. Still others pay a small commission when you click through and actually purchase a product or book a reservation.

Please rest assured that none of this compromises the information provided by Discover Northern California in any way.
