Advertising Disclosure

1. Purpose of This Disclosure

In accordance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and international advertising standards, this disclosure informs readers how Johnnie's Beef Independent Visitor Guide is financed and how advertising units are selected, positioned, and delivered across our pages.

2. Complete Editorial Independence

This website is an independent informational and cultural resource. We are not financially supported, commissioned, endorsed, or affiliated with the owners or management of Johnnie's Beef in Elmwood Park or Arlington Heights, Illinois.

All historical research, culinary opinions, ordering guides, and visitor tips are generated independently without editorial influence from the restaurant. Johnnie's Beef does not pay for placement, reviews, or inclusion on this guide.

3. Monetization Through Adsterra

To offset website hosting fees, domain maintenance, research travel, and high-quality photography production, we participate in the Adsterra Publisher Network.

We display advertising units, including:

• Desktop Floating Sponsored Card (300 × 250): Positioned in the upper-right corner on large screens with an explicit "SPONSORED" label and a close button that remembers user dismissal during their browsing session.
• Responsive In-Content Banners (728 × 90 and 320 × 50): Non-intrusive banner spaces placed naturally between editorial sections on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.

4. Coalition for Better Ads Standards

We are firmly committed to visitor respect and sustainable monetization. We strictly follow the Coalition for Better Ads guidelines:

• NO Deceptive Click Incentives: We never encourage, force, or trick visitors into clicking advertising units.
• NO Aggressive Pop-Unders or Fullscreen Takeovers: Advertisements do not block access to core visitor information, phone numbers, or directions.
• NO Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Ad containers maintain reserved dimensions to avoid unexpected page jumping while reading.
• Clear Visual Labeling: Sponsored spaces are visibly tagged as "Sponsored" or "Advertisement" to prevent confusion with editorial content.

5. Questions & Feedback

If you have questions regarding our monetization policies or experience an ad unit that violates our user-experience standards, please contact our web administration team.
