Publishers offering "Recommended Content Placement" spots

Your content is listed in a recommendation spot, such as an editor's recommendation or a featured sites list. TodoMountainBike, vc.ru and Webnewswire sell it.

How it's sold: You book it with the publisher directly, often as a fixed period at a flat fee. Example ad spots include an editor's recommendation and a prime position promotion.
What it costs: Most publishers quote this on request, so ask for a rate card before you plan a budget. The usual basis is per month or per impression.
What you supply: You supply a title, a short description, an image and a link.
Best for: It suits getting steady visits from readers who trust the publisher's picks.
Before you buy: Ask whether the placement is marked as sponsored and how many readers see the list each month.
