DF sponsorships are sold out through the end of January, but February and March are open. One sponsor per week, with a sponsor-written entry in the RSS feed to start the week, a thank-you post right on the homepage from me at the end of the week, and the one and only graphic ad on every page of the site all week long. No tracking or other privacy-invasive bullshit. Just plain honest ads. My best argument that they work: the number of repeat companies in the sponsor archive list.
Last week’s sponsor, Wifi Dabba, is now one of those repeat sponsors. They first sponsored back in August, and wrote this rather glowing testimonial about their experience and results in November. There was an interesting thread on Hacker News, too.
It sounds corny, I know, but the system works. Win-win-win: Sponsors reach a good audience for a fair price; readers get to read DF free of charge, with high-quality ads that respect their attention and their privacy (and bandwidth); and I get to run a business and sleep well at night.
If you’ve got a product or service you’d like to promote to DF’s discerning audience, I’d love to have you as a sponsor.
