RebelLink Editorial Policy is driven by our company mission:
“Helps you make smart decisions about digital products”
Everything we create is tied to our mission. We strive to ensure that our questions and answers bring in the most traffic.
“People’s Questions”: Our team utilizes all the necessary research and knowledge to answer the broad questions that people are asking; every single one of our pieces are written with the purpose of delivering the finest responses.
“The Best Answers”: Our experts work very closely together to compose articles that provide exceptionally educated and useful information and advice, recommendations, and suggestions to our audience on the information they require to satisfy their goals and live better.
We use the following parameters to define the “best” answers:
We are committed to the quality and trustworthiness of our content and editorial processes. Our team of writers, editors, fact-checkers, illustrators, photographers, and medical and financial professionals rigorously researches and reviews all content on an ongoing basis to ensure it is up to date, accurate, and puts the needs of our readers first. We take great pride in the quality of our content as our writers tend to create original, accurate, engaging content that is free of ethical concerns or conflicts.
Accuracy: The best answers are accurate and up-to-date.
Clarity: The best answers are clear, easy to read, well-written, well-organized, and comprehensive.
Authority: The best answers are based on expertise and authority that are clearly apparent and trustworthy.
Objectivity: The best answers present information objectively, and that objectivity is also clearly apparent and trustworthy.
Accessibility: The best answers present information in ways that account for varying levels of time and interest, satisfying people who want their questions answered simply in 30 seconds, succinctly in 3 minutes, or comprehensively in 30 minutes.
Who?: We identify who is asking the question, and what they need.
What?: We determine the specific question the audience wants to be answered.
What else?: We answer the question that was asked, and also present and answer any crucial related questions that the audience might not have known enough to ask.
Where?: We identify and address the goal or the journey the person wants to take — To learn. To take an action? To make a purchase? — and deliver all the information needed to meet that goal or complete that journey within an article or by sending them elsewhere.
How?: We review the strengths and weaknesses of the products, processes, and strategies we recommend by highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. In every case, we lay out all the information we think is necessary to answer the question and guide our audience to good decisions. That means we suggest and explain options we believe to be the best while accounting for audience members who need to make choices out of necessity that we do not recommend as the best. We explain how to execute those necessary choices as well.
We commit ourselves to editorial independence and objective assessment in the content we review and recommend. We also work with product and service providers to make money with them.
We acknowledge the need to build credibility with our readers, so we hold our writers to the highest standards of professionalism. Whenever an article is published on our site, we strive to treat it as a starting point that will encourage people to take informed, independent actions.
How can we do that? We start by being transparent about how we make money.
The recommendations we make in our homebuyer’s guides are made independently, without the influence of our partners. We base the recommendations on research and analysis by our writers and on our own evaluation of the services or products they re-reviewing. Although we work with many great companies, those partnerships play no role in these recommendations.
As with the other reviews, our associate brand products are reviewed by our staff to determine their suitability for inclusion in buyer s guides. Any recommendation or placement is based on the product’s merit as determined by our senior staff and the editor.
We created a case study where we examined all general-use bookkeeping software according to comparable elements and criteria. The outcomes revealed all the software’s relative strengths and weaknesses, which in turn allowed us to recommend programs based on the demands of potential users.
We use our What Is, How To, and Ultimate Guide articles to explain how products operate in a step-by-step process and in overviews. These articles often feature examples of our partner products, as an illustration, that may be useful to the reader.
Whenever we do this, we use our partner product as an example that we think represents the type of products that are most often used by various users. These examples ought not to be confused with an FSB suggestion, and we’ll work hard to make that clear.
RebelLink does not tolerate any kind of plagiarism. Copying other people’s work, ideas, or writings is completely prohibited. You will not be permitted to use totally or in part, your own work on our website. Any acts of plagiarism and duplication will be subjected to disciplinary action up to and including termination.
We’re committed to maintaining the integrity of our content, and we’re proud to have more than two million subscribers who trust us for important answers. We convey our credibility to our partners, and it is enormously beneficial to their future success that they are associated with us. We ask questions and do thousands of hours of data-driven research for our articles. The more information we gather, the more effective we are at delivering on our mission.
