Articles published on Quantisnow reach retail investors who follow the tickers you tag, so the bar is high. These rules apply to articles, amendments and sponsored links. They summarize the full publishing guidelines and publishing terms, which are in addition to the site terms of use.

- Issuer press releases and corporate disclosures

What we don't allow

- Content unrelated to public markets or to the tickers tagged
- Personal attacks, doxxing, or content that breaks the law
How to tag tickers
Only tag tickers that are materially affected by the article. Each article takes 1 to 8 tickers. Tagging unrelated tickers for traffic gets the article removed and can get you banned from publishing.
Disclosure rules
| Situation | What you must do |
|---|---|
| You, or anyone with editorial control, holds a position in a tagged ticker | Disclose it inside the article |
| The article is sponsored or a paid placement | Say so at the top of the article |
Amendment rules
Corrections must be accurate and honest. Edits that misrepresent the original source, change material facts dishonestly or try to manipulate sentiment are not approved, and repeat offenders are blocked from publishing. See Amend a newsitem.
Sponsored link rules
Editors approve links to relevant, working pages. They reject:
- Link shorteners and redirects
- Gambling and adult content
- Malware
- Unlicensed financial products
- Anything misleading
Every paid link is marked rel="sponsored" and labeled as sponsored for readers. A live link can be removed if its destination changes to something that would not have been approved. See Sponsored links.
How editorial review works
- You submit and authorize the fee at checkout. Your card is held, not charged.
- An editor reviews the submission before it goes live, usually within two business days.
- Approved: you are charged and it goes live. Not approved: the hold is released and you pay nothing. If the editor leaves a note, it appears on the status page.
- If a submission is not reviewed before the hold lapses (about 7 days), the hold releases automatically.
Quantisnow can also remove published content that breaks these guidelines. Repeat violations lose publishing privileges.
How rejected links happen
The most common reasons a sponsored link is not approved:
- The target is a link shortener or a redirect
- The page does not load
- The destination is not relevant to the article
- The destination falls in a rejected category above
You are not charged for a rejected link. Pick a better match and submit again.
