Editorial comes first
The guides, source links and review decisions are made for renters, not for a commercial partner. Payment cannot buy a legal conclusion, a favourable correction decision or a higher editorial ranking.
Commercial transparency
Useful information first. Commercial relationships in the open.
QLD Renters is building a trusted Queensland renter resource. This page explains what is—and is not—commercially active today, and the safeguards that must be in place before advertising or partnerships are introduced.
AdSense setup is active on selected content pages.
QLD Renters uses the supplied Google AdSense account tag, scoped loader and matching root ads.txt line for publisher ca-pub-9015695282527757. No fixed ad units are embedded, and utility, form, community, policy, search and error routes do not load the AdSense script.
Last reviewed: 15 September 2026What is active today?
- Independent guides and official-source links only
- AdSense account setup on selected editorial content pages; no fixed ad units or paid articles embedded
- No audience analytics or newsletter tracking; the self-hosted community has independent access, registration and moderation controls
- No QLD Renters-owned analytics or tracking code; Google's AdSense terms and privacy information apply to its loader
Our commercial standards
These principles are published before monetisation so readers, partners and future community members can see the boundary. They complement the editorial method, source register, privacy notice, terms of use and community guidelines.
Commercial relationships are visible
A future sponsorship, affiliate relationship or paid placement will be labelled close to the relevant content or link. Readers should be able to understand the relationship before they act.
No paid outcomes
QLD Renters will not sell a guaranteed tenancy result, tribunal outcome, repair outcome or personal legal service. Commercial partners cannot present themselves as the RTA, QCAT, QSTARS or a government service.
Privacy before pixels
Advertising, analytics, newsletter or account services will not be activated until the provider, data use, retention, visitor choices and any required consent experience are documented in the privacy notice.
Community safety is a prerequisite
If member content is introduced, pending, reported, disputed, low-value, login, registration and moderation screens will stay outside Google-served advertising until access controls, reporting and ad suppression are working.
Official help stays independent
Links to the RTA, Queensland legislation, QCAT and renter-advice services are provided for sourcing or help. They are not paid endorsements, and a future partner will never replace the official pathway.
Before more advertising is introduced
Adding fixed ad units, a second advertising provider or commercial placements is a new service, not a minor design change. Before launch, the project will complete and document the following controls:
- Record the partner, commercial relationship, placement, start date and end date before publishing it.
- Place a plain-language Sponsored or Affiliate link label beside the relevant material, not only in a distant footer.
- Keep paid copy visually distinct from independently edited guides and preserve the editorial correction route.
- Review partner claims, destinations, accessibility and mobile presentation before launch and on a scheduled basis.
- Keep ads away from empty, interactive-only, login, registration, pending, reported, disputed or moderation screens.
- Update Privacy, Terms and Community Guidelines and configure consent choices before any provider or identifier is enabled.
- Keep the supplied ads.txt line at the root of the site and re-check its status in the authorised AdSense account after Google crawls it.
Clear disclosure examples
Sponsored placement
Sponsored: this placement was paid for by the named partner. QLD Renters keeps control of its independent editorial guides.
Affiliate link
Affiliate link: QLD Renters may receive a commission if you choose this service. The relationship does not change the guide's explanation or the price shown by the provider.
Official source
Official source: this link goes to a Queensland government, RTA or QCAT service for the authoritative process or current form.
Community content and advertising
The self-hosted community includes accounts, permanent discussion addresses, comments, voting, reports and moderation controls. The entire forum remains outside the AdSense loader. A future proposal to monetise member content would require a separate policy, privacy and safety review. Read the community page and community guidelines for the moderation standards.
Privacy and consent come first
The privacy page records both the limited Google AdSense setup and the information used by the self-hosted community. Before another advertising provider, analytics service, newsletter or external account provider goes live, its purpose, identifiers, retention period and visitor choices will be documented and any required consent experience will be tested.
Questions or concerns
For a factual correction, accessibility concern or question about a future commercial relationship, use the contact page. Do not send identity documents or a complete tenancy file.
