Disclosure

The arrangements that could look like conflicts, stated once and kept up to date with the actual systems on the site.

Disclosing referral relationships is standard practice in online publishing (Wikipedia, affiliate marketing).

Ownership

SMMScout is operated by the team behind two SMM panels: Ezkify (retail) and Smmize (wholesale provider). Both appear in the directory, carry an "ours" label on every page, and are scored with the identical formula applied to every other panel. They also rank at the top of the formula on the strength of real data: verified ownership, measured latency and catalog size.

The editor's pick

The "Editor's top pick" block on the homepage and directory always shows one of our two panels, selected randomly per visitor session and labeled "ours · disclosed". The pick's score is always the unmodified formula output. The organic leaderboard is computed independently of the pick.

Sponsored placements

Panel owners can pay for labeled visibility: Pro ($10/mo), Featured ($25/mo) and add-ons. Placements never change a score or risk score, are marked "sponsored", and are recorded in a payment history the owner can view in their dashboard. Affiliate relationships on scripts, gateways and hosting are marked in link markup.

Reviews

Third-party reviews shown on panel pages ("Reviews across the web") link to their original sources and are dated. User-submitted reviews are moderated before publishing and can be removed at the reviewer's request. We do not pay for reviews and do not accept payment to alter a verdict.

Data we store

The site stores what its features need: claim emails and token codes, moderated reviews, payment records and API tester telemetry, all in a database described in the privacy policy. Panel data, scores and risk scores are public by design and delivered as open data.

What cannot be bought

  • Scout Score points or bands.
  • Risk score reductions or flag removals.
  • Verification: ownership must be proven with a public token.
  • Removal of "under review" status: measurements are taken, not purchased.

Questions

If an arrangement is not obvious to you, treat that as a bug and tell us at contact@smmscout.com. Transparency is the product.
