The Ojasara Standard

Effective: January 11, 2026

Our Commitment to Excellence in Research-Driven Publishing

đź“Š The Ojasara Standard

Every article published on Ojasara adheres to this standard: research-backed, expert-reviewed, transparently sourced, and genuinely useful. We hold ourselves accountable to these principles.

Why This Standard Exists

The internet is flooded with low-quality content—articles written to game search engines rather than genuinely help readers. At Ojasara, we believe the solution isn't more content; it's better content.

The Ojasara Standard is our public commitment to quality. It defines what we will and won't publish, how we verify information, and how we maintain reader trust.

E-E-A-T Framework

Google's E-E-A-T framework (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) guides our editorial process:

Experience

  • Our contributors have hands-on experience with the topics they cover
  • Pet content is written by pet owners, veterinary professionals, or researchers with direct subject matter experience
  • Blogging content is written by creators who have built successful websites

Expertise

  • Authors have demonstrable qualifications or years of relevant experience
  • Technical topics (SEO, insurance, nutrition) are reviewed by qualified experts
  • We clearly attribute content to named, real authors

Authoritativeness

  • We cite authoritative sources (academic journals, government data, industry reports)
  • We build topical authority through comprehensive coverage, not thin content
  • We earn backlinks and citations through quality, not link schemes

Trustworthiness

  • We maintain full transparency about affiliates, advertising, and AI usage
  • We correct errors promptly and visibly
  • We clearly distinguish editorial content from advertisements

Content Quality Benchmarks

Every article published on Ojasara meets these minimum standards:

Accuracy

  • All statistics verified: We cite the original source for every data point
  • No outdated information: Articles are reviewed annually; outdated content is updated or removed
  • Expert approval: Technical claims are reviewed by subject matter experts

Depth

  • Comprehensive coverage: We aim to be the definitive resource on topics we cover
  • No thin content: Minimum depth of 2,000+ words for pillar content
  • Actionable insights: Every article provides specific, implementable advice

Originality

  • Original research: We conduct our own data analysis, surveys, and testing
  • Unique perspectives: We don't regurgitate competitor content
  • No AI slop: AI assists research; humans create insights

User Value

  • Problem-solving focus: Every article addresses a specific reader need
  • Clear structure: Easy to scan, navigate, and understand
  • No filler: Every paragraph earns its place

Fact-Checking Process

Before publication, all articles undergo our fact-checking protocol:

  1. Source Verification: All cited sources are verified as legitimate and current
  2. Data Validation: Statistics are traced to primary sources (not secondary citations)
  3. Expert Review: Technical claims in specialized fields are reviewed by qualified experts
  4. Recency Check: Information is current as of publication date; outdated content is flagged for update

Corrections Policy

We are committed to correcting errors promptly:

  • Minor errors (typos, broken links) are corrected immediately
  • Factual errors are corrected with a visible correction notice at the top of the article
  • Significant errors that affect the article's conclusions may result in a full rewrite or removal

To report an error, contact corrections@ojasara.com.

What We Will Not Publish

The following content types will never appear on Ojasara:

  • Medical or veterinary diagnoses: We provide information, not diagnoses—always consult professionals
  • Financial advice: We analyze costs and options; we don't tell you what to buy
  • Sponsored content disguised as editorial: All paid partnerships are clearly labeled
  • Content that violates Google's Webmaster Guidelines
  • Clickbait or sensationalized headlines that don't match content
  • Thin affiliate content designed only to generate commissions

Update Cadence

Our content is maintained on a regular schedule:

  • Pillar content: Reviewed and updated quarterly
  • Time-sensitive content (e.g., "2026 Insurance Comparison"): Updated annually or more frequently as data changes
  • Evergreen content: Reviewed annually for accuracy

Each article displays its original publication date and last update date.

Reader Accountability

We invite readers to hold us accountable:

The Ojasara Standard isn't just a document—it's a promise. We're here to earn your trust, article by article.
