Pick your slot
Three Sponsored positions are available:
- Homepage ($49): appear in the sole Sponsored spot on the front page for 7 days.
- Category ($19): sit at the top of your listing's category page for 7 days.
- Newsletter ($29): feature in the Sponsored place within one week's newsletter issue.
Each slot shows the Sponsored label clearly, and all links are marked as sponsored. Sponsorship does not affect votes or rankings.
Check availability and reserve
One business occupies each slot at a time. Visit /sponsor to see when your chosen slot opens. If it is free now, your 7-day run begins immediately. If booked, yours queues and starts when the current run ends—the exact dates appear on /sponsor and again in your cart.
You need a listing that is live, or booked for a launch week. Choose your listing on /sponsor and add the slot to your cart like any other purchase.
Alternatively, book from "Upgrades and extras" on /account/listings, or during the plan step when you submit a new listing.
Track performance
Once you pay, /account/sponsorships displays each Sponsored run: whether it is live, scheduled or finished, plus the dates it ran and how many views and clicks it received.
Questions people ask

- Can I book from my listings page?
- Yes. Go to /account/listings, find the listing you want, select "Upgrades and extras" and choose your Sponsored slot.
- Does sponsorship change my ranking or votes?
- No. Sponsored slots do not affect votes or any ranking.
