How we make money

Everything on 66221.com is free to readers. Here's exactly how that's paid for.

1. Display advertising

We show ads served by Google AdSense and possibly other networks. These ads may be personalised based on cookies unless you choose otherwise; see our privacy policy. We don't choose individual ads, and an ad's appearance isn't an endorsement.

2. Referral and lead fees

When you request quotes or a home-value analysis, we may share your request with up to three participating providers, who may pay us a fee. You never pay us, and you're never obligated to hire anyone. We tell you who will contact you and only share your details when you check the consent box.

3. Sponsorships and featured listings

Local businesses can sponsor contests, categories or video series and buy featured directory placements. These are labelled "Sponsored" or "Featured."

4. Reader support

Readers can contribute to fund operations, reporting, community promotion, hiring and contest prizes.

What money can't buy

Positive coverage, changes to guides, or removal of accurate information. Partners have no editorial review rights.
