BannerOfTheDay

Rules

Short, strict and enforced on our servers — not in your browser.

The slot

There is exactly one banner slot, at the top of the homepage. Whoever holds it holds it alone.

Bidding

  • Minimum bid = current highest paid bid + $1.
  • If nobody has bid today, the minimum is the $5 floor.
  • Bids are paid up front. A bid only counts once payment clears.
  • Payment is not a guarantee of placement: every banner is reviewed first.

Anti-sniping

A bid placed in the final 10 minutes before close pushes the close out by another 10 minutes, up to a maximum of 60 extra minutes per day.

Daily reset

At 00:00 UTC the current holder is archived in Past Winners, and the price resets to the $5 floor.

Banner specs

  • PNG, JPG or WebP.
  • 4:1 ratio, 1200×300 recommended.
  • Max 1 MB.
  • Headline: max 60 characters.
  • Destination link must use https.
  • Outbound links carry rel="sponsored nofollow noopener".
