How we operate at Greenfootsteps
Greenfootsteps is concerned with genuine green issues and products. We try to give a balanced view of the options available to readers. Advertising network ads will be limited on pages with private ads. The aim is to keep a clean-looking and user-friendly site that helps our readers towards a greener lifestyle.
At Greenfootsteps there are no annoying pop-ups or "pop-unders" to distract visitors. Advertising is carefully monitored to avoid distracting and aggressive advertisements, although it is not currently possible to vet every single network ad.
Competition for green businesses is fierce. Take advantage of our growing traffic to advertise your goods or services.
