Advertising

TalkChelsea displays advertising from a variety of partners in order to fund its activities.

TalkChelsea also provides advertisers with sponsored articles and links from time-to-time. It should be immediately obvious where this is the case because of the topics involved, the calls-to-action and the outbound links that typically appear in such content (any such advertorial or paid-for content sold on the service is subject to a maximum 12 month term and may be removed subject to requirements from the Advertising Standards Authority, Google or similar such agency).
