Advertise on TwistyApps
Reach people who are choosing a tool, not browsing.
TwistyApps publishes beginner-friendly guides on AI tools, apps, productivity software and everyday tech. Readers arrive from search with a specific question, which means they are in decision mode when they meet your brand.
Banner placements
Each diagram shows where your banner sits on a real TwistyApps article. The orange block is your space.
Sidebar banner
Runs alongside every article. The steady, always-on option.
In-article banner
Placed mid-article, where the reader is already paying attention.
Footer banner
Site-wide placement across every page, at a lower rate.
Editorial placements
Bought by article rather than by slot. Both are clearly disclosed and always use rel="sponsored" links.
Sponsored article
We write and publish a genuinely useful article featuring your product, marked as partner content. You get a permanent page, not a rented slot.
Link insertion
A contextual link added to an existing article where it actually helps the reader. We choose the anchor text and the placement.
What to send us
Banner sizes above are measured from this site’s own layout, not copied from a standard list, so your artwork lands at its exact size and stays sharp.
Artwork
- PNG, JPG, SVG or animated WebP.
- Under 150 KB if it is still, under 400 KB if it moves.
- Supplied at twice the display size, so it stays sharp on high-resolution screens.
- Plus the destination URL and one line of alt text for screen readers.
Animated banners are welcome
- Up to 15 seconds and 3 loops, then it settles on the last frame.
- Animated GIF is accepted, but at these sizes it will usually miss the weight limit. WebP is the safer choice.
- Send one file. We take the still frame from it ourselves, so there is no second asset to prepare.
Every animated banner gets a pause control, and readers whose device asks for reduced motion see the still frame instead. Both are handled for you.
One thing we cannot take: third-party ad tags
Motion is fine. Scripts are not. Pages here are served from cache, so a tag that rewrites the banner after the page loads would show the wrong thing to most readers, and we cannot tell visitors what someone else’s script collects about them.
An image file and a link do the same job and load faster. Send us the creative and we will host it.
How we work
What you can count on
- Paid links are marked
rel="sponsored". We do not sell links that pass ranking signal. - Sponsored articles carry a visible disclosure near the top.
- We write and edit the final copy, including anchor text and placement.
- Payment is upfront, and we tell you when a booking is due to end.
What we turn down
Gambling and casino, crypto trading and token promotion, CBD, payday and personal loans, essay writing services, adult content, pharmaceuticals, and anything misleading or unsafe.
This applies regardless of budget, and we will say no to a good offer in the wrong category.
How it works
STEP 1
You send the form with your product and the placement you want.
STEP 2
We check it fits our readers and reply with a price and availability.
STEP 3
You confirm and pay, then send the creative or the article details.
STEP 4
We publish, send you the live link, and flag when it is due to end.
Request a quote
We quote per enquiry instead of publishing a rate card, because the right number depends on the placement, how long you want it, and whether we are writing the piece.
A reply within a few working days, with a straight price and what it includes.
No obligation. Asking costs nothing and we will tell you if it is not a fit.
Real numbers on request. We would rather send you our actual traffic data than print a claim on a page.
Prefer email? Write to info@twistyapps.com with “Advertising” in the subject line.
