FAQ

Why are you more expensive than Carbon Ads?

Carbon charges $5 CPM for untargeted traffic. We charge $750 for 7,100 engineers reading a guide about your exact product. That is $105 effective CPM because the audience is pre-qualified.

Do you share Google Analytics?

Yes. After you sponsor, we share a read-only GA4 link and weekly PDF.

Can I use affiliate links?

Yes, but sponsorship gets top placement. Affiliate-only links go at bottom.

What if I want to cancel?

Email us. We remove your creative within 24 hours. No fees.

Do you accept monthly or only annual?

Monthly. Cancel anytime.

I don't see Google traffic. Is that a problem?

No. Our traffic is higher intent. These users bypass Google and come direct or via AI answers. They are actively researching, not browsing.

Current Sponsors

We are limiting to 12 sponsors in 2026 to protect reader trust.
