Sponsorship & Advertising
Put your brand in front of the people who actually ship: engineers, infrastructure leads, marketers, SEOs, and the decision-makers who sign off on tooling budgets. We run a clean, contextual display program across six technology verticals, with no pop-ups, no auto-play, and no clutter.
The Audience
Ad Units
Standard IAB sizes, shown here at their true dimensions so you can see exactly what each placement looks like on the page. Every slot is clearly labelled, reserves its exact size to avoid layout shift, and sits inside editorial — never over it.
Rate Card
One flat monthly price per slot — no CPM math. Each rate is exclusive ownership of that placement (100% share of voice) for the month.
| Placement | Size | Monthly Rate | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Billboard | 970 × 250 | $4,000 / mo | Homepage & category hero |
| Half-Page | 300 × 600 | $3,000 / mo | Sticky sidebar, long-form |
| Leaderboard | 728 × 90 | $2,400 / mo | Above the fold, every page |
| Large Rectangle | 336 × 280 | $1,800 / mo | High-impact in-content |
| MPU / Medium Rectangle | 300 × 250 | $1,600 / mo | In-content & sidebar workhorse |
| Wide Skyscraper | 160 × 600 | $1,200 / mo | Tall sidebar rail, archives |
| Mobile Leaderboard | 320 × 50 | $800 / mo | Anchored mobile banner |
Every display rate is a flat monthly price for exclusive ownership of that slot — 100% share of voice, one-month minimum. Figures are planning placeholders pending verified traffic; volume and quarterly commitments earn discounts. Final pricing is set in the media kit.

Sponsored Content & Reviews
Sponsored content: clearly labelled, editorially sound.
Beyond display, we produce sponsored explainers and partner deep-dives written to the same standard as our own coverage — practical, technically accurate, no fluff. Every sponsored piece carries a visible "Sponsored" label, lives at a permanent URL, and ships with social and newsletter amplification. We protect reader trust: we will not run content that misleads, and the editorial team reviews every draft before it publishes.
Want us to review your product?
If you build something for engineers, infrastructure teams, marketers, SEOs, or security folks, put it in front of us. Reviews are independent and editorial: there is no charge, and no guarantee of coverage or of a positive verdict. Editorial keeps full control — that independence is exactly what makes the coverage worth having.
- Pitch it. Tell us what the product is and which of our six verticals it fits.
- Send it. Ship a unit or grant access so we can evaluate it hands-on.
- We review independently. Honest, practical coverage on its own merits.
