Example Sponsor · Placeholder content labeled Sponsored. An ad slot shown outside the top three. It never changes the ranking.
Why am I seeing this?What you are looking at
The dashed strip is a demo unit. There is no live advertiser, no pixel, and no auction in this build. If you arrived from "Why am I seeing this?", that is the whole answer.
Hard rule
- Paid placements stay labeled Sponsored.
- They sit outside the top three.
- They never change the matcher or the editorial order.
