How We Make Money
We believe you deserve to know how this site is funded. Full transparency about our revenue model is part of our commitment to editorial independence.
How We Earn Revenue
MommyMakeoverIstanbul.us may generate revenue through the following channels:
Display Advertising
We may display advertisements on our pages through advertising networks. These ads are served by third-party platforms and are selected algorithmically — we do not hand-pick advertisers, and the presence of an ad does not constitute an endorsement of the advertised product or service.
Affiliate Links
Some articles may contain affiliate links to products or services (such as compression garments, travel insurance, or recovery supplies). When you click these links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are always clearly disclosed within the content.
Lead Generation
We offer readers the option to request information through our site. When a reader voluntarily provides their contact information, we may connect them with vetted service providers. This is always opt-in and never automatic.
What We Do NOT Do
Our revenue model has clear boundaries that protect the integrity of our content:
- We do not rank clinics or surgeons — our content never positions one provider above another, and no provider can pay for favorable coverage
- We do not accept payment for reviews — no clinic, surgeon, or hospital can pay us to review their services or write favorably about them
- We do not promote specific surgeons — you will not find named surgeon endorsements in our editorial content
- We do not allow advertisers to influence editorial content — our editorial team operates independently from our business operations
- We do not sell reader data — personal information collected through our forms is used only for the stated purpose and is never sold to third parties
How This Protects You
Our editorial content is created independently of any commercial relationships. This means:
- When we discuss risks of surgery in Turkey, we include the real risks — even if that information might discourage a potential lead
- When we discuss costs, we include hidden costs and unfavorable comparisons — not just the headline price advantage
- When we discuss surgeon verification, we provide the tools to verify independently — we do not steer you toward any particular provider
We believe that honest, well-sourced information builds more trust (and ultimately a more sustainable business) than promotional content ever could.
How We Handle Sponsorship and Partnership Requests
Clinics, device manufacturers, and medical tourism agencies periodically reach out asking about sponsored placements, guest posts, or paid link insertions. Our policy is straightforward: we decline any arrangement that would require us to name, favorably position, or link to a specific commercial provider in editorial content. We will discuss standard display advertising through recognized ad networks, but that advertising is never labeled, written, or selected by our editorial team, and it never appears inside an article’s body text.
If you notice content on this site that reads like it was influenced by a commercial relationship — unusually one-sided praise for a specific provider, missing risk information, or an oddly convenient recommendation — please tell us. That is exactly the kind of drift this policy exists to prevent, and we treat reports like this as a priority correction.
