Publishers offering "Sponsored Resource" spots

A sponsored resource is a guide, report, ebook, calculator or tool that you pay to sponsor, and your logo and link appear on it. Automation World, TradeWinds and Cybercrime Magazine sell resources like these.

How it's sold: Publishers sell it through their sales teams. You agree which resource to sponsor, how your brand appears and sometimes whether you receive the readers' contact details.
What it costs: Most publishers quote this on request, and the usual basis is a flat fee per resource.
What you supply: You supply a logo, a short sponsor line and the link, and sometimes a short intro for the report.
Best for: It suits building authority and collecting leads from readers who download useful material.
Before you buy: Ask whether you receive lead details and how long the resource stays online.
