The placements
two, plus the one that is not for saleSponsored placements, what each one is and what it costs. The third row is on this table because it is the question every sponsor asks.
What each one buys
$79 / month
- One of the four sections
- Name and one line of copy
- Rotates with at most three other sponsors
- Monthly, cancel whenever
$249 / month
- Home page and all browse pages
- Name and one line of copy
- At most two site sponsors at a time
- Monthly, cancel whenever
A browse page renders at most 4 panels and the site-wide sponsors are inside that number rather than on top of it, so the section slots available at any moment are four minus whatever site-wide sponsorships are outstanding. The checkout checks that before it takes money.
Why the score is not for sale
Sponsored panels sit outside the ranked rows, are labelled “Sponsored”, and carry rel="nofollow sponsored". They are a different shape from a listing on purpose: no score, no verdict, no row.
The score is the only reason this directory is worth reading. If it could be bought it would stop being worth reading, and then it would stop being worth sponsoring, so the constraint is not principle so much as arithmetic.
