Advertising

Effective Date: May 25, 2026

Textfrog (“Textfrog”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is owned and operated by Cronweb Solutions Private Limited.

This Advertising Policy explains the rules for paid advertisements, sponsored listings, featured placements, floating banners, promotional cards, affiliate promotions, listing claims, promotional embeds, and other paid or promotional visibility on Textfrog.

This policy forms part of our Terms and Conditions and Cancellation Policy.

1. Purpose of This Policy

Textfrog is a website discovery and link promotion platform. Our goal is to help users find useful websites, tools, SaaS products, AI tools, directories, blogs, marketplaces, apps, and digital resources while maintaining user trust, platform quality, payment-gateway compliance, and legal safety.

Advertising on Textfrog must be honest, lawful, transparent, safe, and suitable for a general website discovery audience.

2. What Advertising Means on Textfrog

Advertising may include:

  • featured listings;
  • sponsored directory placements;
  • homepage placements;
  • category-page placements;
  • listing-detail-page placements;
  • floating banner visibility;
  • sponsored cards;
  • promoted website listings;
  • affiliate-driven promotions;
  • badges, widgets, or promotional embeds;
  • other visibility formats offered by Textfrog.

Paid visibility does not mean Textfrog endorses, guarantees, certifies, operates, owns, or verifies the advertiser’s website, product, service, claims, payouts, rewards, security, compliance, or business performance.

3. Advertiser Responsibility

Advertisers are responsible for ensuring that:

  • they have legal authority to promote the submitted website;
  • the website and advertisement comply with applicable laws;
  • all claims are accurate, current, verifiable, and not misleading;
  • pricing, offers, discounts, bonuses, trials, subscriptions, rewards, payouts, and limitations are clearly disclosed;
  • the landing page matches the ad claim;
  • the website has its own required legal pages, such as terms, privacy policy, cancellation/refund policy, risk disclosures, or regulatory information where applicable;
  • the website is safe, accessible, not infected with malware, and not designed to deceive users;
  • the advertisement does not violate Textfrog policies, payment processor rules, card network rules, UPI/bank requirements, platform rules, or third-party rights.

Textfrog may request additional information, screenshots, documents, license proof, ownership proof, compliance details, or edits before approving or continuing an advertisement.

4. Ad Review and Approval

All advertisements are subject to review. Payment does not guarantee approval.

Textfrog may approve, reject, pause, remove, edit, reclassify, downgrade, or restrict an advertisement at any time if we believe it:

  • violates this Advertising Policy;
  • violates our Terms and Conditions;
  • creates legal, safety, reputational, fraud, or payment-processing risk;
  • misleads users;
  • receives credible complaints;
  • changes after approval in a way that creates risk;
  • promotes a prohibited or restricted product/service;
  • is not suitable for Textfrog’s audience;
  • is required to be removed by law, regulator, payment processor, bank, card network, UPI provider, court, or law enforcement authority.

We may also reject ads for editorial quality reasons, including poor landing pages, broken links, thin content, excessive popups, unclear pricing, exaggerated claims, misleading screenshots, or low user value.

5. Sponsored Labels and Transparency

Textfrog may label paid placements as “Ad”, “Sponsored”, “Featured”, “Promoted”, or similar.

Advertisers must not hide, remove, obscure, manipulate, or misrepresent sponsored labels. Advertisers must not falsely state or imply that Textfrog independently endorses, certifies, ranks, guarantees, or recommends their product unless we have expressly agreed in writing.

6. General Ad Standards

Advertisements must:

  • accurately represent the promoted website;
  • use clear and non-misleading language;
  • link to a functional and relevant landing page;
  • avoid deceptive countdowns, fake scarcity, fake testimonials, fake reviews, fake awards, fake security seals, and unrealistic promises;
  • disclose important conditions, restrictions, fees, subscriptions, renewals, eligibility requirements, and risks;
  • avoid malware, phishing, unwanted downloads, forced redirects, cloaking, or misleading browser behavior;
  • respect intellectual property and privacy rights;
  • be appropriate for a general audience;
  • comply with applicable law and platform policies.

7. Landing Page Requirements

Advertised landing pages should:

  • clearly describe the product, service, website, tool, or offer;
  • identify the business or operator where appropriate;
  • include contact or support information;
  • include privacy and terms pages where user data, accounts, payments, subscriptions, or downloads are involved;
  • clearly explain pricing, billing, trials, renewal, cancellation, and refund terms where payments are involved;
  • avoid deceptive UX, hidden fees, confusing claims, malicious scripts, or aggressive popups;
  • load reliably and not be under construction;
  • avoid redirect chains that hide the final destination;
  • be safe for users and free from malware or phishing.

  • reviews;
  • upvotes;
  • SEO rankings;

Advertisers purchase digital visibility and promotional placement, not guaranteed performance outcomes.

16. Changes After Approval

Advertisers must not materially change the landing page, redirect destination, offer, pricing, claims, business model, or promoted product after approval in a way that would violate this policy or mislead users.

If the website changes after approval, Textfrog may re-review, pause, remove, or reject the advertisement.

17. Complaints and Reporting

Users may report ads or listings they believe are misleading, unsafe, unlawful, broken, infringing, or otherwise problematic.

To report an ad, contact [email protected] with:

  • the Textfrog listing or page URL;
  • the advertiser website URL;
  • the reason for the report;
  • supporting screenshots or evidence, if available.

We may investigate and take action at our discretion.

18. Relationship With Payment Gateway Rules

Textfrog may apply stricter rules than payment gateways, banks, card networks, UPI providers, app stores, ad networks, or applicable law.

If a payment processor, bank, card network, regulator, court, or law enforcement authority requires removal, restriction, refund, documentation, or account action, we may comply without liability to the advertiser.

Approval by Textfrog does not guarantee approval by any payment processor, ad network, search engine, app store, regulator, or third-party platform.

19. Policy Updates

We may update this Advertising Policy from time to time to reflect legal requirements, payment-gateway rules, platform changes, user safety needs, or business operations. Updates will be posted on Textfrog.com with a revised effective date. Continued advertising after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
