Performance marketing and lead generation
We connect consumers who are actively shopping with the companies that serve them.
Hot Noodle Media, LLC builds and operates comparison, review and inquiry properties across regulated and unregulated consumer categories. We buy media, we own the landing experience, and we deliver consented consumer inquiries and affiliate referrals to advertisers on a performance basis.
What we do
Affiliate marketing
We operate content and comparison properties and are paid a commission or a flat referral fee when a visitor we send to an advertiser completes a qualifying action. Compensation may affect which offers appear and in what order. We disclose this on every property.
Lead generation
On our inquiry properties a consumer completes a form asking to be contacted about a product or service. Where the consumer gives express written consent, and only then, we transmit that inquiry to the specific partners named at the point of collection. We record the consent, the disclosure shown, and the time and origin of the submission.

How we handle consumer data
- We do not sell your personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and we do not rent, trade, or make consumer data available to unrelated third parties.
- The one exception is the one you ask for. If you fill out an inquiry or quote form and affirmatively consent, we pass your information to the partners identified at that form so they can respond to you. That is the entire purpose of the form, it is disclosed before you submit, and it does not happen without your action.
- Consent is documented and revocable. We retain a record of what you were shown and what you agreed to. You can withdraw consent, opt out of marketing, and request deletion at any time.
- We honor opt-out signals. We respect Global Privacy Control and similar browser-level opt-out preference signals, and we honor state privacy rights requests regardless of where you live.
Advertising and compliance standards
Every property we operate is held to the same baseline, whether or not a platform is auditing it.
Disclosure
Material connections are disclosed clearly and close to the claim, consistent with the FTC Endorsement Guides. Typical price or cost ranges are shown where a category requires them. We do not present ourselves as the provider of the underlying product or service.
Consent and contact practices
Marketing calls, texts and emails are made only on documented express written consent, with the calling parties named. We maintain internal do-not-call and suppression lists, honor opt-out requests promptly, and scrub against the National Do Not Call Registry where applicable.
Claims and creative
No fabricated testimonials, no invented scarcity, no impersonation of a government program, lender, insurer or platform. Offers are represented on the terms the advertiser actually provides.
Traffic quality
We filter automated and non-human traffic, verify that submissions come from rendered browser sessions, and remove sources that fail validity checks. We do not incentivize form completions in a way that produces uninterested consumers.
Work with us
