Public product commitment

Sponsorship must travel with the sponsored claim.

A label placed far from a paid sentence can disappear when a system retrieves a fragment. CrawlClick writes the commercial relationship into the visible passage so the disclosure is part of what gets copied.

What does a disclosed insertion contain?

It contains plain-language sponsorship wording, the operator-reviewed claim and a reviewed HTTPS destination marked as sponsored. The insertion event records the campaign, publisher, channel, price and trace identifier.

Is human referral traffic ever billable?

No. Day-0 paid treatment is limited to eligible network-verified crawler requests. Human visitors receive the unchanged origin page; referrer and navigation signals are retained only as directional measurement because a browser can forge them.

Can a campaign instruct an answer engine?

No. A campaign supplies a reviewable claim, not a command telling an answer engine how to rank, cite or ignore other sources. Training-only crawlers are ineligible for paid insertion.

What does disclosure not prove?

It does not prove that an answer engine will retrieve the passage, carry the label into an answer, cite the publisher or generate a referral. Those are measured efficacy outcomes and remain the open pilot question.

How can someone audit the position?

The public pilot status separates built behavior from unproven outcomes, while insertion evidence gives participants a concrete record to compare with independent answer probes.
