Thank you everyone for your feedback I really appreciate it Smiley

The websites itself looks good, I like the UI and seems like you're posting new articles quite regularly.
I do agree with what @LeGaulois says though, can't really call yourself independent if you accept payments for press-releases and op-eds.

Btw, just out of curiosity, how much traffic are you getting? Enough to ask for those kinds of payments for sponsorship deals?

https://bitcoinnews.com/buy/

The domain is 10 years old, we purchased it in 2017 and the website we have is around 10 months old. The domain was getting a fair bit of traffic just by itself when we started.

Currently we receive well over 1 million page views per month, although we sometimes run some ad campaigns as well to bring traffic to our site.

The PRs and Sponsored Stories are how we can pay the writers etc, they are clearly marked as PRs or Sponsored Content, the independence and non-bias refers to our news stories, where we will never put anything in our normal news that has been paid for / has an ulterior motive.

This is really important to us, as we know a lot of other crypto news sites are doing this.

Maybe we do need to change the wording of that slightly though...

We are still improving and have a lot of work to do.

Thanks again for your feedback!
