Ad formats
Pageskin
Every page · 2 slots, 50% of impressions eachYour branded background around the magazine. On phones it becomes a banner at the top. Each slot is priced separately.
For brand recognition: the format to take when you want every reader of the magazine to see the company, whatever page they land on.
- 1920×1080, the middle 1320 px stays clear for the page
- Top strip 1200×200 for phones
- PNG or JPG, no animation, up to 400 KB
Sitewide banner
Every page · 1200×90One banner on every page, including articles and company pages.
For new offers, a strong CTA or an advantage worth shouting about. It works well for bringing in new sign-ups.
- 1200×90 (and 640×200 for phones)
- PNG or JPG, no animation, up to 200 KB
- Readable at 100%: no text smaller than 14 px
Homepage banners
Homepage · two slots · 1200×150Two banner positions on the homepage, between the editorial blocks.
For a new brand testing how the community reacts: the homepage is where the regulars come back, so the response tells you a lot quickly.
- 1200×150 (and 640×280 for phones)
- PNG or JPG, no animation, up to 250 KB
Catalog banners
Networks, traffic sources, tools, agenciesA banner in the catalog your clients browse — only among trackers, or only among networks.
For standing out next to your competitors: the reader is already comparing companies of exactly your kind when the banner appears.
- 1200×150 (and 640×280 for phones)
- PNG or JPG, no animation, up to 250 KB
Pinned articles
Top of the homepage or of a section · up to 5 pinsYour story pinned on top with the “Sponsored” label. Our editors write or rewrite it and check the facts.
For getting the reader’s attention first, before anything else on the page.
- Cover 1600×900 in our own cover style (we make it)
- No animation
- The text is written or rewritten by the editors
Pinned company
Top of a catalog · up to 5 pinsYour company on top of its catalog with the “Sponsored” label. Catalogs have no position numbers.
A strong signal when you are hiring at top level: senior buyers and heads read these catalogs when they choose who to work with.
- Logo in PNG or SVG on a transparent background, at least 400 px wide
- A short description, up to 240 characters
Pinned conference
Homepage calendar and the conference sectionYour event on top of the upcoming conferences with the “Sponsored” label.
Pair the pin with an exclusive promo code: the code doubles the effect, because the reader gets a reason to act while the event is still ahead.
- Logo in PNG or SVG on a transparent background
- Dates, city and the ticket link
Banner formats are cheaper when paid upfront: we give a discount for 6, 12 and 18 months. Ask for the exact numbers together with availability.

Run your own card in the catalog
The card of your company gets an author — your representative, not aliencpa. They keep it up to date, write about the company themselves and talk to the audience. The card carries a badge saying the brand runs it and a “Sponsored” label; the end date of the service is known to us and to you only. Sold as a package for 3, 6 or 12 months.
Your representative can
- Edit the card: description, contacts, socials, offers and conditions.
- Write the review of their own company and keep it up to date.
- Post an announcement — a promotion, an offer or a message — highlighted on the card and shown in the catalog preview.
- Put their own links in the card and in the button.
Your representative cannot
- Edit or delete reviews and comments about the company.
- Remove the comparison with other companies.
- Get an editorial verdict or score: brand-run cards carry neither.
- Get a pin in the catalog — that is bought separately.
What matters when the service ends: nothing you wrote is deleted. The links inside the review text are hidden, the button goes back to our own affiliate link, and the card keeps its history. Our team updates company cards a couple of times a year as a matter of routine. A pin in the catalog is a separate service and can be added to the package.

What money can’t buy here
- Places in our ratings and top lists are not for sale — neither to raise yourself nor to lower a competitor.
- We are the only editorial team of aliencpa and we work with advertisers directly: no third-party agencies, ad networks or scripts.
- Everything we publish goes through our fact-checking, our editorial policy, critical thinking and common sense. We don’t publish someone else’s content under our name, free or paid. We write ourselves.
- We don’t hide affiliate links or sponsored integrations from readers. We work in affiliate marketing, we consider advertising part of the profession, and we don’t hide it.
- We don’t delete articles, reviews or comments — not for free, not for money. Only spam and content that could harm the magazine or its readers is removed. Anyone may comment without an account; only registered members can rate a company or a service.
- When a paid period ends, our own ad returns to the slot and the links go back to ours.
