Editorial Policy

Aerod editorial standards for technical accuracy, provider pages, comparisons, migrated content, affiliate disclosures, and corrections.

On this page

Aerod covers privacy, browser exposure, proxies, VPNs, defensive security, provider reviews, and comparison content. These topics require clear sourcing, careful claims, and visible limitations.

The editorial standard is practical accuracy. Articles should help readers make safer decisions without hiding uncertainty.

Technical claims

Technical claims should be written precisely. If a result is observed, say it is observed. If a result is inferred, say it is inferred. If a provider makes a claim, identify it as a provider claim unless it has been verified through testing or source-backed evidence.

Do not turn uncertainty into certainty because the copy sounds cleaner.

Provider reviews and comparisons

Provider reviews and comparisons live under /proxies or /vpn depending on the topic. Aerod does not use separate /reviews, /compare, or /providers hubs.

A provider page should include source material, methodology, provider details, affiliate disclosure, author/reviewer fields, publish/update dates, tags, and metadata when available.

Do not create generic review templates when source content is missing.

Migration standard

Imported or transferred articles should preserve source material where available. That can include title, headings, body, screenshots, tables, test methodology, provider details, affiliate disclosures, author/byline, original publish date, updated date, tags, metadata, and links.

Missing source material should be held for review rather than filled with generic copy.

AI-generated writing standard

Aerod should not sound like a content farm. Copy should be direct, engineered, and specific. Avoid filler phrases, repeated generic advice, vague superlatives, and unsupported product claims.

AI-assisted drafting can be used as a tool, but final content should be reviewed for accuracy, usefulness, originality, and tone.

Updates and corrections

When a page materially changes, update the updated date. When a correction changes the meaning of an article, make the correction visible where appropriate.

Affiliate influence

Affiliate relationships should be disclosed and should not control conclusions. Monetization can support the site, but it must not override technical accuracy or user trust.
