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.
Pitching an article rather than buying a placement? That is a different route: write for TwistyApps.
Read this before you enquire: we do not sell links
If what you want is a dofollow link that passes ranking signal to your site, TwistyApps is the wrong place and no budget changes that. Every paid link here is marked rel="sponsored", which tells search engines not to pass that signal, and every sponsored article says it is sponsored.
What you are buying is attention from people who are mid-decision about a tool, on a page that stays up. That is worth having. A rented ranking signal is worth having until it is penalised, and it takes the host site down with it.
What we take on
Four things, and nothing else. Anything that does not fit one of these is a no, however it is described.
Banner placements
Sidebar, in-article or footer, booked by the month.
Sponsored articles
A useful article featuring your product, written or edited by us and disclosed.
Link insertions
One contextual sponsored link in an existing article where it genuinely helps.
Brand partnerships
Product access for hands-on testing, or a longer arrangement. Ask and we will talk.
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.
The terms, on every deal
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. You see it before it goes live and you can correct anything factually wrong about your product.
- We will not publish a claim we cannot stand behind, and we do not guarantee a positive verdict. Buying a placement buys the placement.
- Payment is upfront via Payoneer, 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.
We also turn down anything that is fine in itself but comes with the wrong terms: a demand for a dofollow link, a refusal to be disclosed, copy we are not allowed to edit, or a fixed anchor text we have to use verbatim.
This applies regardless of budget, and we will say no to a good offer in the wrong category.
How a booking runs
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.
Nothing is published from this form. It reaches a person, who reads it and replies.
