Placements

The slots

Five placements, each sold to one sponsor at a time. Ask for current rates and availability.

  • Announcement bar

    Every page

    The Cream strip above the header: your name, one line of copy and a link. The reader can dismiss it.

    • · Name, one line, link
    • · Above the header, sitewide
    • · Dismissible

  • Sticky dock

    Every page, desktop

    A small card pinned to the bottom-right corner once the reader scrolls past the hero. It hides again at the footer, and it is not shown on phones, where it would cover the content.

    • · Name, tagline, button
    • · Appears after the hero
    • · Desktop only, dismissible

  • Tool page slot

    1,346 pages

    Your card in the right-hand column of a tool page you choose, directly beside the Run-on-VPS block.

    • · Card in the sidebar
    • · You pick the tool pages
    • · Beside the hosting block

  • Comparison sidebar

    143 pages

    Sidebar card on every comparison page, above the "Similar comparisons" list.

    • · All comparison pages
    • · Above related links

Rules

How it works

The rules are fixed and identical for everyone, because the directory is only worth advertising on for as long as readers trust the order.

  • 01

    Every placement is labelled

    Each one carries a SPONSORED strip, Ink on Cream, used for nothing else on the site. It is never omitted and never made subtle.

  • 02

    One placement per screen

    No page ever carries two ads. The bar and the dock are never sold twice over, and neither runs alongside a second placement.

  • 03

    Ranking is untouchable

    Order comes from the published health formula alone. Sponsorship cannot change a score, a rank, or the position of any list, and a sponsor is never shown as a top pick.

  • 04

    Products that fit

    Sponsors must be open-source or self-hosting-adjacent. A closed SaaS competing directly with the listings is not a fit, whatever the budget.

  • 05

    Monthly, no lock-in

    Cancel any time, invoice on request. Click counts come from the cookieless analytics already running, so there are no tracking pixels and no third-party scripts.
