Updated
A Sponsored slot marks your listing as promoted for a set period. Each slot is labelled Sponsored, with its link marked as such. Sponsorship does not affect voting or any ranking.
Three placements to choose from
Homepage sponsorship ($49) places your company in the single Sponsored slot on the homepage for 7 days.
Category sponsorship ($19) positions your listing at the top of its category page for 7 days.
Newsletter sponsorship ($29) includes your company in the Sponsored place within one issue of the weekly newsletter.
How slots are scheduled
One sponsor occupies each slot at any time. If a slot is free, your run begins immediately. If it is booked, your sponsorship is queued to start directly after the current booking ends. You can see your exact dates on /sponsor before you pay, and they appear again in your cart.
How to book
Your listing must be live or scheduled for a launch week. Visit /sponsor to select your listing and reserve the slot. You can also book through "Upgrades and extras" on /account/listings, or during the plan stage when you submit your listing.
Track your sponsorship
Once paid, /account/sponsorships displays each active, scheduled and ended sponsorship with its dates, viewing count and click count.
