i would certainly not recommend vs I would not certainly recommend

The correct phrase is 'I would certainly not recommend.' The adverb 'certainly' should come before the verb 'recommend' to modify it. Placing 'certainly' after 'not' disrupts the natural flow of the sentence and changes the intended meaning.
