Questions

When does a promotion start?

Right after payment if a slot is free. If all slots are taken, the next available start date is shown before you pay. We never sell more slots than are available.

Are promotions reviewed?

Each author’s first promotion is approved manually, usually within 24 hours. Rejected promotions are refunded in full.

How can I pay?

Online via Stripe or by bank transfer. With a bank transfer, the promotion starts once the payment arrives.

Does a promotion affect likes or ranking?

No. A promoted tile is shown above results, but it does not change likes, organic views, or position in “Popular”.

How promoted listings are labeled

  • Every promoted tile carries a Sponsored label, always as text, never as an icon only.
  • Promoted tiles are light, with a red “Sponsored” label, so they never look like organic results.
  • Promoted tiles are always shown before organic results: in the Featured row on the home page, and as the first tiles of every list, filter and search they match.
  • We may reject promotions for apps that do not work, are misleading, or collect data without consent.
