Advertising & Sponsorship Policy

The following guidelines have been established by Black Health Online, Inc. to govern various aspects of Advertising on the BHO Network, which includes websites and mobile applications directed to consumers, which we refer to as the "BlackHealthOnline Consumer Properties," and websites and mobile applications directed to healthcare professionals, which we refer to as the "BlackHealthOnline Professional Properties." As used in this policy, the terms "Advertising" and "Advertisements" include third party banners, badges, contextual advertising, and sponsored content. The guidelines in this policy govern issues like acceptance of Advertisements by BHO, how Advertisements are displayed on the BHO Network, and the removal of Advertisements from the BHO Network. BHO has sole and absolute discretion with respect to interpretation and enforcement of this policy and all other issues associated with Advertising on the BHO Network. BHO may change this policy at any time in its sole discretion by posting a revised policy to the applicable BHO Property.

1. BHO has sole discretion for determining the types of Advertising that will be accepted and displayed on the BHO Network, and under no circumstances will BlackHealthOnline's acceptance of any advertisement be considered an endorsement of the product(s) and/or service(s) advertised or for the company that advertises, manufactures, distributes, or promotes the products or services.

2. BHO will not accept Advertising that, in BlackHealthOnline's opinion, is not factually accurate and in good taste.

3. 3. There are certain categories of advertisements that BHO will not permit on the BHO Network at any time. These categories include but are not limited to the following:

• Illegal, 'objectionable', 'ineffective' and/or 'dangerous' products (BlackHealthOnline reserves the right to determine what is 'objectionable', 'ineffective' and/or 'dangerous')
• Fraudulent, deceptive, illicit, misleading or offensive material
• Material that misrepresents, ridicules, discriminates (real or implied) or attacks an individual or group on the basis of age, national origin, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or any other status deemed inappropriate for the BHO Network
• Alcohol
• Weapons, firearms, ammunition, or fireworks
• Gambling
• Pornography or related themes
• Tobacco use of any kind
• The simulation of news or an emergency
• Material that directly advertises products to or is intended to attract children under the age of 13
• Media or messages for or that reference "M" rated video games or content
• Unreasonable, unlikely or extraordinary product or service claims
• Media messages or imagery that strobe or flash
• Media or messages that contain unsubstantiated "miracle" weight loss or other miracle claims of cure
• Advertising units that extend beyond the defined advertising space or interfere with the content or impact the readability of the content without user initiation
• Advertising units that do not retract to the defined advertising space upon user scroll off or do not contain a "close" or "X" for user to retract or close the ad unit/message after user initiation
• Advertising units that mimic computer functions or deceptively indicate a computer or other function that would be reasonable to the average user to assume as a reason to click the unit

4. BHO recognizes and maintains a distinct separation between advertising and sponsored content and editorial content. All Advertising or sponsored content on the BHO Network will be clearly and unambiguously identified. BHO will not allow any Advertising on a BHO Consumer Property that is not identified with the label of "Advertisement", "From Our Sponsor" or a similar designation, or on a BHO Professional Property that is not identified with the label of "Advertisement," "Information from Industry," "From Our Sponsor" or some similar designation indicating that the content is being provided by or on behalf of the sponsor.

5. A click on an Advertisement may only link the end user to the third-party advertiser's site or to relevant sponsored content area on a BHO Property.

6. BHO retains the exclusive right to determine how any and all search results for specific information by keyword or topic are displayed on applicable BHO Properties based on BHO delivered search results. Content listed in search results is displayed with its source, e.g., "BlackHealthOnline News" or "Journal Article." If sponsored content appears in the search results, it is labeled as "BlackHealthOnline Sponsor" on the applicable BHO Consumer Properties and "Industry Information" on the applicable BHO Professional Properties so that users can make informed decisions about the content they wish to view. In addition, BHO provides a separate area on the search results page of applicable BHO Consumer Properties labeled "BlackHealthOnline Sponsors" or "Featured Sponsor on BlackHealthOnline" in which sponsors and advertisers may purchase space to list their content or advertising.

7. As described in the "Ads by Google" hyper link in the Ads by Google section on applicable BHO Consumer Properties Search pages, these "Ads by Google" are listings that have been purchased by companies that want to have links to their websites appear adjacent to search results in response to specific terms. BHO may receive payment from Google in connection with displaying the sponsored link results on these BHO Consumer Properties or based on clicks on these links.

8. While third party (sponsor or advertiser produced) content must adhere to this Advertising Policy, labeling of sponsored content on the BHO Consumer Properties is governed by Our Sponsor Policy, which describes how we label information from our Sponsors and the steps we take to help our end users understand the differences between BHO content and sponsored content.

9. Advertising on the BHO Professional Properties may not link directly to a registration/email capture page. Any user registration or email capture pages resulting from an ad click on a BHO Professional Properties must be, at minimum, two clicks away from the original Advertisement. The BHO Professional Properties will not run Advertising that requires registration and/or log-in in order to view a significant portion of the content of the Advertising or the related site. BHO reserves the right to determine what level is 'significant'.

10. BHO reserves the right to approve whether it will accept, reject, cancel, or remove at any time any Advertising from the BHO Network for any reason and will provide prompt notice to the advertiser upon rejection, cancellation, or removal of any Advertising, together with an explanation following the rejection, cancellation, or removal. BHO cannot provide any assurances that client programs or components will perform without error on all platforms, including websites, mobile devices and Apps.

11. It is the Advertiser's responsibility to comply with all domestic and foreign laws and regulations applicable to its Advertising within the BHO Network (and to include all legally required legends, disclosures and statements in such Advertising), including without limitation the current FDA guidelines for Direct to Physician (DTP) and Direct to Consumer (DTC) advertising. BHO will not monitor compliance with such laws and regulations. However, BHO reserves the right to review all Advertising for compliance with applicable laws and regulations and, if BHO becomes aware of any breach or potential breach of any applicable law or regulation or of these guidelines, BHO may remove the Advertising from the BHO Network.

12. No Advertising on the BHO Network shall include any pixels, tags, flash containers or any other type of information collection software code or shall place any beacons, cookies or other information collection devices on the browsers of users of the BHO Network unless expressly approved in writing by BHO. No personally-identifiable information may be collected from any user of the BHO Network without the express written consent of BHO and the express opt-in consent of such user. No non-personally-identifiable information that is collected from a user of the BHO Network may be linked to any personally-identifiable information available to an advertiser without the express written consent of BHO.

Editorial Policy

Our mission is to bring you objective, trustworthy, and timely health information.

Read Our Editorial Policy 

Read Our Editorial Policy 

Editorial Integrity

Our mission is to bring you the most objective, trustworthy, and accurate health information. Our daily goal is to ensure that BlackHealthOnline (BHO) is your practical and relevant content source for health and medicine.

We are committed to providing information on a wide variety of health topics, and rather than filtering certain types of information that may or may not be applicable to any one individual's personal health, we rely on you, our reader, to choose the information that is most appropriate for you. Be aware, however, that information on BHO or any other web site should not be used as a substitute for professional healthcare. You should always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on our site or any site.

The following sections detail our content policies and procedures.

Editorial Selection Criteria for Original Content Created by BHO

BHO creates original content based upon the following criteria:

Relevance --Issues that could affect how you manage your own health and that of your family's. Topics include coverage of breaking health news; drug and product launches, recalls, and alerts; health advisories; and expert commentary on managing diseases and conditions and staying healthy.

Clinical Significance --The latest medical findings published in peer-reviewed medical journals, such as The Journal of the American Medical Association, The New England Journal of Medicine, The Lancet, Pediatrics, Diabetes Care, Circulation, and many others.

Trends --Seasonal interests, such as "Summer Safety," "Allergy Seasons," and "Cold and Flu;" public health awareness, such as "Breast Cancer Awareness Month," and "Healthy Heart Month;" and emerging health trends, such as the latest in nutrition, fitness, disease prevention, healthy living, alternative approaches, and much more.

Our Content Is Different

It's more reliable. In a medium often accused of providing outdated and inaccurate information, BHO stands out as a credible, authoritative source of health information. Our news and feature stories are based on our editors' selections of the most important and relevant health events occurring on a given day. Our news articles are more than a short summary of a study or an event. They often contain interviews with the medical researchers who authored them, plus interviews with objective experts who can put the research into context and tell the reader what it means in today's world.

Editorial Integrity -- BlackHealthOnline's journalistic responsibility is to make a clear distinction between news, features, reference, and other information, so that individuals can readily distinguish independent editorial information from paid, promotional information.

Editorial Independence --In its reporting, BHO maintains exemplary principles of fairness, accuracy, objectivity, and responsible, independent reporting.

Journalistic Excellence --BHO upholds traditional journalistic principles of excellence in reporting original news for the Internet and in reviewing and corroborating information from other sources. Our content continues to win awards and recognitions in journalistic excellence and you can see our most current list of awards by checking our Awards page.

Editorial Policy for BHO Editorial Staff

BHO News is an independent media service designed to provide news, information, and educational material to consumers and physicians. News content created by BHO is free from influence by sponsors, partners, or other sources. Anyone who serves on the BHO Editorial staff must fully disclose any potential conflict of interest with any sponsor or vendor.

BHO keeps its Editorial staff separate and distinct from staff dedicated to sponsors or partners. No person will serve on both staffs, no Editorial employee will be asked to perform duties on behalf of a sponsor.

The BHO Editorial staff is charged with the responsibility of providing objective, accurate, and balanced accounts of events and issues. BHO reporters must diligently seek out subjects of stories or qualified experts to provide commentary. They also seek objective commentary or comment from a qualified spokesperson to provide balance. BHO journalists strive to provide thorough and honest coverage and share a dedication to ethical behavior and the highest professional standards.

News & Original Article Process

Each weekday, our staff of physicians and medical journalists plans the daily news "budget," all stories planned for the day. It contains the latest information from the most important medical journals, announcements from federal health agencies, and analyses on the latest health trends. Our experienced health reporters talk daily with prominent medical leaders, providing in-depth analyses, updates, and profiles that give our health news and content a perspective found nowhere else. Every original article is reviewed by our staff of full-time, board-certified physician editors.

The BHO Editorial staff gets its stories from an array of sources: peer-reviewed medical journals, medical conferences, federal or state government actions, and enterprise material derived from interviews with medical experts. BHO also believes that valuable content is available from BHO sponsors, advertisers, and partners, but that such content must be clearly labeled. Each completed story to be published is reviewed by a medical editor for accuracy, appropriateness of medical language, and proper characterization of the findings. The story is next reviewed by an Editorial Editor who edits it for style, flow, punctuation, and readability. Finally, the story moves from editing to publishing, where it is converted to HTML and published to the site.

Licensed Content

When BHO licenses health and wellness content from third-parties for publication on our site, the BHO senior Editorial editors and physician editors review the third-party's editorial policies and procedures for consistency with the BHO Editorial Policies.
