Who runs these fifteen titles
A group of contributors, fifteen titles, one subject. This page states who publishes them, how the titles came to be here, and where the money comes from.
The publisher
G R Sites is published by a small, distributed group of contributors, writing since 2008.
The people behind the fifteen titles do not share a profession, and that is the point. Among them are IT professionals, a homemaker, a frequent traveller, car enthusiasts, someone who writes about personal finance, and several ordinary consumer-technology reviewers who buy the products they write about. Nobody here is a full-time journalist.
That range is what lets fifteen titles hold fifteen distinct briefs without any of them thinning out. A contributor who has actually argued with a telecom provider, run a home network, or waited on a warranty claim writes a better piece about it than a generalist would — and each title is edited to the brief it was given.
What the group shares is the publishing operation: one editorial policy, one correction route, one disclosure standard, and one schedule. That is what makes these sibling publications rather than fifteen unrelated blogs, and it is stated plainly here because a reviewer would establish it anyway.
There is no photograph on this page and no staff directory. The register below is the credential: fifteen live domains, each with a public archive that can be read without asking us anything.
Why fifteen titles, not one
The honest answer has two halves, and the second one is the part most publishers leave out.
The first half. These are fifteen separate domains with fifteen separate archives, three of which run back to 2008. Each is now written to its own brief — repairability on one, Indian IT labour on another, comparative buying on a third. Folding them into a single site would mean discarding archives and redirecting domains whose archives reach back as far as 2008 — eighteen years.
The second half. They are not fifteen independent publications and we do not describe them as such. They share one subject — consumer technology, mostly in India — one publisher, and a common publishing schedule. On some dates several titles publish on the same day, and occasionally on closely related topics. They are sibling publications with distinct briefs.
If you are assessing this network for an advertising partnership, that distinction is the one that matters, so it is stated here rather than left for you to work out.
How a title joins the network
- The domain A domain is registered, or an existing one is acquired. Most of the fifteen were acquired rather than registered new.
- The brief It is given one subject to cover and is held to it. No title in this network is a general-interest site.
- The archive review Content published under prior ownership is reviewed against the standards that govern the network now. Anything that fails is removed rather than left to sit.
- The record The title is added to the register on this site and to the publisher record that binds all fifteen domains to one entity.
Several G R Sites titles operate on previously registered domains. Content published on those domains under prior ownership is not affiliated with G R Sites, was not commissioned by us, and does not reflect the standards this network is run to now.
We do not publish a per-title acquisition date, because we do not hold a reliable record of one and would rather say so than estimate. What each domain can evidence is the year it first published anything at all, and that is what the register on the home page shows, straight from each site’s own feed.
If you are assessing this network and need the ownership history of a specific domain, ask on the legal route and we will tell you what we know.
How we are funded
Disclosed advertising and sponsored placement. That is the whole list.
There is no paywall, no subscription and no affiliate network
operating quietly in the background. Money reaches this network in
one way: an advertiser buys a placement, that placement is labelled
on the page it appears on, and the link inside it carries
rel="sponsored".
Every paid placement carries rel="sponsored"
without exception. Editorial coverage that no one paid for is not
marked sponsored, because it is not sponsored — that is the
only distinction we draw, and we draw it the same way on every
title.
Advertisers have no input into editorial. They do not see articles before publication, they cannot request the removal of the sponsored label or the link attribute, and buying a placement on one title buys nothing on the other fourteen.
Placements that fail our published refusal list are declined before any money changes hands, including after a price has been discussed.
Reaching the publisher
Four named routes, each going to a person rather than a ticket queue. Corrections and takedown requests are deliberately not routed through the advertising inbox.
Corrections are acknowledged within 24 hours. Advertising enquiries are quoted within 24–72 hours.

The entity behind the titles
G R Sites is a trading name. It is not an incorporated company, it holds no company registration number, and it does not maintain a public registered office. We state that rather than leave you to infer it.
The contact of record for the network is grsites15@gmail.com. One mailbox serves all four routes — editorial and corrections, advertising and invoicing, legal and takedown, and general — each with its own subject tag.
