Advertising disclosure

How advertising, sponsorships, submissions and reader support are separated from editorial decisions.

Last updated August 28, 2026.

Zorvanu is free to read and may use advertising to help cover hosting and maintenance. Commercial relationships are kept separate from editorial judgment.

Google AdSense

The site may display ads supplied through Google AdSense. Ads are selected and delivered by Google and participating advertising partners. Their appearance does not mean that Zorvanu or Matt Mars endorses the advertised product, company or claim.

No paid ranking positions

An advertiser, artist, label or publicist cannot purchase a review score, favorable sentence or ranking position. Editorial subjects are chosen because the editor believes there is a useful article to write.

Sponsored content

If Zorvanu accepts sponsored content in the future, the page will be labeled clearly near the title before a reader begins the article. Sponsored material will not be disguised as an independent review or ordinary ranking.

Affiliate links

Zorvanu does not currently use affiliate links. If that changes, links capable of generating a commission will be identified and this disclosure will be updated. A commission would not change the price paid by the reader unless the page states otherwise.

Promotional submissions and review copies

Artists may submit music for consideration. Free access, a review copy or press material does not guarantee coverage and does not purchase a positive response. Relevant material support is disclosed when it could affect how a reader interprets the article.

First-party coverage

Reader support

Optional reader contributions support the site generally. They do not create a right to request coverage, remove criticism or change a published ranking.

Privacy

Advertising can involve cookies or similar identifiers. Read the privacy and cookies policy for disclosures, consent information and opt-out links.
