How this site is written, and what we refuse to do
An independent guide is only independent if it can point at the rules it follows. These are ours, in the order they bind us.
Rules
Six rules, each with a consequence
| Rule | What it means in practice | What it forbids |
|---|---|---|
| Numbers carry dates | Every count and price shows the snapshot it came from | “Currently” without a date |
| No unverifiable claims | We do not call a platform a scam, a fake or a fraud | Accusations we cannot evidence |
| No invented rates | If a fee is not published, we write “not published” | A percentage we made up to look precise |
| Disclosure on every page | Outbound links are marked sponsored and carry our ref | Hidden affiliate links |
| One page per intent | If two pages target the same query, one gets merged | Keyword cannibalisation for its own sake |
| Corrections are public | A fixed number gets a new date, not a silent edit | Quietly rewriting history |
Who writes this
A desk, not a byline farm
There is no roster of fictional authors on this site. Pages are written and maintained by the same small desk, which is why the tone does not change between a shipping guide and a brand page, and why a correction on one page tends to surface an inconsistency on another.
We do not use AI to generate the body copy and publish it unread. Some drafting is assisted; every number, every claim and every recommendation is checked against the catalogue or against a page we can link to. When we cannot check something, the page says so in a line beginning “what we cannot verify”.
Updates
How a page changes
- 1
Trigger
A catalogue rebuild, a broken link, a reader correction, or a policy change at the platform. - 2
Check
Every number on the page is recomputed from the current data. Anything that cannot be recomputed gets its date re-verified or is removed. - 3
Rebuild
The static build regenerates the HTML, the sitemap lastmod and the content hash that drives IndexNow. - 4
Announce
IndexNow pings Bing and the other participating engines; Google picks the change up through the sitemap.
Common questions
Policy questions
Are you affiliated with oopbuy.com?
No. We are an independent index. We link to a partner catalogue and we are paid on outbound clicks; that is disclosed on every page.
Do you accept free products for review?
No. We do not review products we have been given, because the review would then be about the gift rather than the item.
How do I report an error?
Email hello@oopbuy.sbs with the URL and the sentence. Corrections take priority over new pages.
