Odiapedia's encyclopedia is free and will stay free. To keep it running we offer a few commercial services. This page explains what they are and the rules we follow.
How Odiapedia makes money
| Activity | How it works | What it never does |
|---|---|---|
| Trip planning | Readers can request a custom Odisha itinerary. With their consent, we pass the request to a vetted travel partner, who may pay us a referral fee or commission. | Change what our destination guides say |
| Curated shop | We point readers to authentic Odisha products, books and crafts. Some links may be affiliate links that earn us a small commission. | Rank products for payment |
| Sponsorships | Clearly labelled placements for artisans, travel partners, publishers or cultural events. | Appear inside article text, alter facts, or buy rankings |
Our rules
- No sponsor can buy a fact, a conclusion or a ranking. Editorial content is decided by editors using sources.
- Everything paid is labelled — for example "Sponsored", "Featured partner" or "Affiliate link".
- Commercial modules stay separate from the article text and appear only where they are genuinely useful.
- "Best" lists explain their method. If we ever publish recommendations, we say how they were chosen and disclose any commercial relationship.
- We vet partners. Travel partners must show valid business registration, transparent pricing and a clear cancellation and refund policy, and must handle customer data responsibly.
- We never sell removal of accurate information, fake reviews or ratings, backlinks disguised as references, or unlabelled advertorials.
