Five ways to reach builders here

Everything on this page is a position on the page — never a change to the ranking, never a pop-up, never a tracker. The board is young, so the prices are introductory: you can see today's price and what it becomes once the audience justifies it.

On audience numbers

We do not publish reader or visitor counts, because the board is new and any number we printed today would be more marketing than fact. Ask before you buy and we send you the real figures for the week you are buying — screenshots, not a claim.

Who holds the slots

Every placement is named on the page it appears on. Nothing here is disguised as editorial, and nothing changes where a product ranks.

House rules

  • Ranking is never for sale

    Trending is upvotes, notes and views, decayed by age. A paid slot cannot move it.

  • Everything is labelled

    If it was paid for, the page says so, in the same type as everything else.

  • One sponsor at a time

    No slot is ever doubled up, and there is no third-party ad network.

  • Products only

    We take placements from things builders can use. Not crypto, not courses about courses.

  • You see it first

    Copy and position are approved by you before anything goes live.
