Welcome to BestAttractions.org!
Below, you’ll find answers to common questions about our content, research process, advertising, user contributions, and more.
🧩 Content & Accuracy
Q: Where do you get your information from?
A: We research each topic using a combination of official records, local news archives, historical documents, and reliable online sources.
In many cases, we also reference first-hand video documentation by independent YouTube explorers and urban historians, which provides valuable visual and contextual insight.
Q: How often do you update articles?
A: We review and update content periodically to reflect new information or changes.
If you find any outdated or incorrect details, please reach out through our Contact Page.
Q: Are your articles opinion, fact, or both?
A: Most of our content is fact-based and sourced, but articles may include analysis or historical commentary.
If a piece contains personal opinion or subjective interpretation, it will be clearly framed as such.
🧩 Copyright & Reuse
Q: Can I reuse or republish your content or images?
A: All original content on BestAttractions.org is protected by copyright.
You may quote brief portions with attribution and a do-follow link back to the source. Please use “BestAttractions.org” as anchor text.
Q: What if I believe something on your site violates my copyright?
A: Please refer to our DMCA Policy for instructions on how to submit a takedown notice.
🧩 Site Purpose and Scope
Q: What kinds of places do you cover?
A: We write about places across the United States that have cultural, architectural, historical, or emotional significance — whether they are thriving, abandoned, or demolished.
Our topics include:
- Abandoned Places (schools, asylums, prisons, etc.)
- Retail (shopping malls, department stores)
- Historic hotels and accommodations
- Attractions, fairs, festivals, and theme parks
- Restaurants and regional foods
- Famous or unique homes
- Religious landmarks
- Government buildings (like courthouses)
- Closed hospitals and health-related facilities
- Museums, national parks, industrial sites, and more
Q: Why do you write about abandoned or demolished places?
A: Even when a place no longer exists, its story often continues to shape local memory, history, and identity.
We believe such places deserve thoughtful documentation and recognition.
🧩 Reader Interactions
Q: Can I submit a story, make corrections, or provide additional information?
A: Absolutely. If you spot an error, have more information, or want to share a personal memory about a place we’ve covered, we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out through our Contact Page.
Q: Can I submit a guest post or article?
A: No. We do not accept guest posts, sponsored content, or articles written by outsiders. All editorial content is created in-house to maintain consistency and quality.
Q: Can I submit a photo or personal memory?
A: Yes — but only if it relates to a place we’ve already covered.
You must own the rights to the photo, agree to have it published exclusively on BestAttractions.org, and let us know how you’d like to be credited (full name, first name only, or anonymous).
We may include your contribution in the article or comments if it adds value, but submission does not guarantee publication. Please reach out through our Contact Page.
All contributions are reviewed and moderated. Keep it respectful and relevant.
🧩 Guest Contributions & Partnerships
Q: Do you accept guest posts?
A: No — we do not publish standalone stories, guest posts, or create new articles based solely on submissions.
That said, we’re open to contributions that meaningfully enhance existing content — such as a verified correction, a relevant historical detail, or a personal memory tied to a place we’ve already covered.
All contributions are subject to editorial review and must be:
- Factually sound
- Respectful in tone
- Non-promotional
- Original (you must own the rights to anything you submit)
If your input fits, we may add it to an existing article with appropriate credit.
Please contact us with your pitch.

Q: Do you make money from the site?
A: Yes. We earn revenue through display advertising and affiliate links.
If you click on a link and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Q: Do advertisers influence your content?
A: No. Our content is written and edited independently.
Sponsorships, if present, are clearly disclosed and do not influence editorial decisions.
Q: Can I advertise on your site?
A: No. We currently display ads through our existing partnership.
🧩 Tours & Travel Logistics
Q: Do you offer guided tours or sell attraction tickets?
A: No — BestAttractions.org is an editorial and informational site only.

When relevant, we may link to official sites or trusted booking platforms to help you learn more or make arrangements directly.
