Editorial Standards

This page sets out FeeRadar's content production process, review standards, citation rules, and correction procedures. It is aligned with Google's E-E-A-T framework (Experience / Expertise / Authoritativeness / Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) quality requirements.

1. Content Scope and Boundaries

Content We Provide

• English walkthroughs of cryptocurrency exchange registration flows
• Comparative exchange reviews based on publicly available data
• Anti-phishing and social-engineering security education
• Fee-estimation tools derived from each exchange's official public fee schedule
• Objective summaries of industry news and editorial observations

Content We Do Not Provide

• ❌ Specific investment advice (coin selection, market timing, position sizing)
• ❌ Return forecasts, price predictions, or yield guarantees
• ❌ Tax or legal advice (please consult licensed professionals)
• ❌ Account-operation proxying, KYC assistance, or withdrawal handling
• ❌ Paid sponsored content or undisclosed promotion

2. Content Production Workflow

1. Topic selection: Based on long-tail keyword analysis (GSC + Google Trends) and real user-question feedback.
2. Research: Cross-verify against at least 3 authoritative sources (official docs / help centers / public fee schedules / authoritative industry references).
3. Drafting: Authors write based on cited sources and an editorial checklist, clearly noting information validity periods.
4. Fact-checking: All numbers, dates, and official policies must link to an authoritative source.
5. Compliance review: Check for prohibited phrasing ("risk-free," "guaranteed profits," etc.) and confirm that affiliate disclosure is complete.
6. Publishing: Tag with author byline, publish date, and Last Updated date.
7. Updates: Data is rechecked monthly; tutorial screenshots are refreshed quarterly.

3. Citation and External-Link Standards

Source Hierarchy

• Tier 1 (Official): Binance Academy / OKX Help Center / Binance Fee Schedule / exchange announcement pages
• Tier 2 (Industry authority): CoinDesk / The Block / CryptoSlate / Decrypt / Bitcoin Magazine
• Tier 3 (Data sources): CoinGecko / CoinMarketCap / Glassnode / Chainalysis
• Not cited: Telegram / Twitter / unmoderated platform posts (unless the author publicly verifies their identity).

External-Link Handling

• Citations to official documentation / academic papers / government notices → rel="noopener" dofollow (to enhance content authority).
• Affiliate links → rel="sponsored noopener noreferrer".
• User-generated content / social media → rel="nofollow noopener ugc" (where referenced).
• All external links use target="_blank" to avoid interrupting the reading flow.

4. Attribution and Currency

Each article must include:

• Author byline (linked to author profile + LinkedIn / Twitter)
• Original publish date (day-level precision)
• Last Updated date
• Source links (for every specific number, policy, or price)
• Disclaimer (not investment advice)
• Risk disclosure (for YMYL content)

5. Numerical and Data Principles

• Every specific number must have a source: For example, "spot taker 0.10%" must link to Binance's official Fee Schedule.
• No stale data: Figures older than 90 days must be re-verified, otherwise labeled "as of [date]".
• No public guarantees: FeeRadar makes no commitment about specific "exclusive rates," "rebate percentages," or "savings amounts".
• Transparent statistics: Volume, user counts, and similar statistics must cite their source (e.g., CoinGecko / Glassnode).

6. AI-Generated Content Policy

In line with Google's Helpful Content System:

• Content is primarily written by human authors, citing official and public sources.
• If AI tools are used (for rewriting, translation, or drafting), output must pass fact-checking, source verification, compliance review, and style editing before publication.
• AI tools are used solely for workflow optimization, not to fabricate experience or data.
• FeeRadar does not publish purely AI-generated, unverified content.

7. Conflict-of-Interest Management

• Affiliate revenue is transparent: Our primary revenue comes from the Binance / OKX Affiliate programs (see the Affiliate Disclosure).
• Editorial independence: The editorial workflow is not directly influenced by Binance or OKX. FeeRadar independently reports product limitations of partner exchanges.
• Holdings disclosure: If an author comments on a specific token, they must disclose whether they hold the token.
• No non-affiliated paid promotion: FeeRadar does not accept paid promotion from third-party projects (beyond the disclosed major-exchange Affiliate programs).
• Staff conduct: Editorial staff may not front-run trades based on unpublished content.

10. YMYL Content Requirements

Cryptocurrency content falls under Google's YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) top-tier sensitive category. FeeRadar applies the following stricter standards:

• Every YMYL article must carry a clear disclaimer (not investment, tax, or legal advice).
• Every YMYL article must include a risk-disclosure section (linked to the full Risk Disclosure).
• We do not target unsuitable audiences (minors, those unable to bear losses, residents of restricted jurisdictions).
• Compliance frameworks must cite the relevant licensed authority (SEC / FCA / MAS / SFC, etc.).
• When discussing tax or legal matters, readers are directed to licensed professionals.
