Terms of Use

The terms governing use of RankingHacks.com.

Last updated: May 2026.

By accessing RankingHacks.com you agree to these terms. If you don’t, please don’t use the site. Contact details and the legal entity behind the site are in the Imprint.

Content is informational, not advice

Everything published on RankingHacks is for informational and educational purposes. It reflects what I’ve personally tested across a portfolio of websites in 2026, plus reasoned analysis of presentations and research from people in the industry.

Nothing on this site is professional advice — legal, financial, tax, or otherwise. SEO, marketing, and growth tactics that worked for one site may fail on another. Test before betting your business on anything you read here. For specialist advice on your specific situation, hire a specialist.

No warranties

The site is provided “as is.” I make no warranties — express or implied — about the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or fitness for any particular purpose of the content. Tactics, vendors, prices, and platform behaviors change constantly; older posts may not reflect current reality.

I am not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. If your jurisdiction doesn’t allow such limitations, the limitations apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Some links on this site are affiliate links — see the Disclosures page for details. I only recommend tools I personally use. Affiliate compensation never determines what I recommend.

Intellectual property

All original content (writing, frameworks, custom graphics) on RankingHacks is © Andreas De Rosi. You may:

  • Quote short excerpts with attribution and a link back, for editorial or commentary purposes (this is also fair use / fair dealing under most jurisdictions)
  • Link to any post freely
  • Cite the work in academic, journalistic, or research contexts

You may not:

  • Republish full posts without written permission
  • Resell, repackage, or distribute the content as part of a paid product (course, eBook, training material) without a license
  • Use the content to train commercial AI models without permission (see “AI training” below)

Trademarks, logos, and brand names mentioned belong to their respective owners.

AI training

The content of this site may not be used to train commercial AI models without explicit written permission. Machine-readable signals (robots.txt, llms.txt rules, NoAI meta tags where applicable) reflect this position. Crawling for traditional search indexing — Google, Bing, Perplexity citation — remains permitted.

Embedded third-party content

Posts may include embedded videos, social media content, charts, or other third-party material. Embedded content is governed by the terms and privacy policies of the source platform. Loading such content may transmit data to that third party.

Changes to the site

I publish, edit, archive, and unpublish posts at my discretion. URLs may change occasionally; I try hard not to break links and use redirects when I do. Comments and external linkbacks are not preserved.

Changes to these terms

If these terms change materially, the “Last updated” date will change. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Germany. Any dispute arising from use of the site is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Berlin, Germany, to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction.
