Advertising
What you can buy is attention, in formats that are labelled as paid and kept structurally away from the rankings.
Business enquiries
This reaches the commercial desk. It is not an editorial address, and nothing sent here is seen by the people who set scores.
The short version
We sell three things, all of them labelled. We decline several more, including some that would be easy money. The list of declines is on this page because stating what you turn down is the cheapest credibility there is.
What we declineThe constraint
Formats
Rates depend on placement, duration and volume, so there is no single number to publish. Ask and you get the current rate card.
A long-form piece about your company — manufacturing footprint, engineering history, local assembly approach, service network build-out. Written to be worth reading. Permanently labelled as sponsored.
Rate on application shoaib@voltranker.com
A dedicated, clearly labelled moment for a new model or a new market entry. The vehicle is ranked normally afterwards, by the same methodology, written by people who had nothing to do with the event.
Rate on application shoaib@voltranker.com
A labelled placement in the Voltranker email. Subscriber data is never shared, exported or rented.

Separation
Stated as operations rather than promises. A promise is worth nothing on a page like this; a described mechanism can be checked.
Commercial conversations are handled separately from editorial. Editorial is not told who is in a sponsorship conversation or who has signed.
Sponsored pieces are written and produced separately from editorial content, on a distinct template, and are excluded from every editorial feed and index on the site.
A sponsor may check factual claims about their own company before publication. They have no approval over framing, headline, or whether the piece runs.
The label is permanent. It does not fall away after a promotional period and it is not removed from archives.
Labelling
You should know precisely what you are buying and precisely how a reader will see it, before you spend anything. There are no surprises further down this list.

No score. No rank. Not in any index.
These are enforced in the query, not in the stylesheet. A sponsored piece is a separate content type that the ranking, comparison, search and quiz queries cannot return — a label a future theme change could remove would not be a firewall.
Revenue we turn down
If you believe a piece of sponsored content on this site is inadequately labelled, tell us. We will fix it and log the fix publicly.
Which format, roughly when, and roughly what budget. Timing and budget in the first message make the first reply useful rather than a request for more detail.
