Small audience, high intent.

That is the measured result of the one banner campaign we have run — roughly 6× what display banners return. We are not a big site, and this page will not pretend otherwise: every number below is measured, bot-filtered, and checkable against our public traffic dashboard.

The receipts

One campaign has run here. Here is all of it.

Froglabs bought the Tool Directory slot for 5–31 July 2026 at $100. It served 3,609 impressions to 1,512 unique visitors and returned 21 clicks — 0.58% CTR, $27.71 CPM, $4.76 per click. Counted by our own Umami against the pages the banner actually rendered on.

Click-through rate, in context

MadeOnSol, measured0.58%

Good native placement0.35%

Typical display banner0.1%

Typical display banners run 0.05–0.10%; a good native placement reaches about 0.35%. Ours is a native-style card in the site's own layout, shown to people who came here specifically to find Solana tools — which is the whole reason the rate is what it is.

What we are not claiming

21 clicks is a modest number. A high rate on a small denominator is still a small denominator. If you need thousands of clicks this month, we are the wrong buy.
n = 1. One campaign is a data point, not a trend. We publish it anyway because the alternative is publishing nothing.
~12,000 human pageviews a month sitewide, measured 18 Aug 2026 with bots filtered out. Small, not big.
No guarantees on delivery. We quote you traffic, not clicks. Your creative and your offer decide the rest.

Take the whole site, or a single page.

One static card, one sponsor, one month — on every page you book. Bundles are the best value on this page: each one costs less than the slots it contains and delivers more pageviews per dollar than buying the best single slot on its own.

Bundles are priced so the discount actually buys something: every bundle delivers more pageviews per dollar than cherry-picking the same slots. Book one directly below — bundles and 1, 3 or 6-month runs are all self-serve.

Or take a single placement.Every slot is priced off the trailing-30-day pageviews of the pages it renders on — the honest denominator, not sitewide traffic. We quote you traffic and price; what a banner converts depends on your creative and offer, so we don't forecast it.

The sheet was recut in July 2026 so that price tracks traffic rather than how important a page feels — every slot now costs within a narrow band per thousand views. Slot pageviews sum to less than sitewide traffic because each placement only renders on its own pages.

Homepage

First thing visitors see after the hero. Full-width card with your logo, tagline, and CTA.

KOL Tracker

Active traders checking KOL performance daily. High-value, returning audience with trading intent.

Deployer Hunter

Memecoin hunters watching deployer launches — the most active, highest-intent segment of our audience.

Featured listings

This is position, not clicks: your existing listing keeps the same card style and picks up a small Featured badge, priority in category pages and — from the Featured tier up — a spot in the homepage featured row. Timer starts at payment verification, and nothing renews on its own.

Editorial standards

How we run ads

The rules we hold ourselves to.

A directory only works if readers trust it, so the constraints that protect them also protect you: nothing here is auctioned, rotated, or resold.

Reviewed by a human, both ways

Every advertiser and every creative is checked before it goes live. That is why you never end up next to a drainer, and why we sometimes say no.

Full refund if we reject you

Creative is collected before payment and reviewed after. If we cannot run it, you are refunded in full — it never served an impression.

One sponsor per slot

Exclusive for the calendar month. No rotation, no shared unit, no second advertiser bidding your slot away mid-flight.

No ad networks, no trackers

We serve the image ourselves from our own storage. No programmatic backfill, no third-party pixels, no data sold about the people who see it.

No popups or autoplay

One static card in the site's own layout. No interstitials, no sticky overlays, no video. Readers do not resent it, which is why it gets clicked.

Card or crypto, no contracts

Banners take card via Stripe (SOL/USDC on request); featured listings settle on-chain in USDC or SOL. No retainers, no minimum spend, nothing auto-renews.

FAQ

Everything a buyer asks first.

Which of the three should I buy?+

Banner if you want clicks to your own site this month — it is the only product with measured delivery. Featured listing if you want your tool discovered inside the directory over 7, 30 or 90 days, from $25. Sponsored article if you have something that needs explaining at length and you want a permanent page on our domain, from $99.

What performance should I actually expect?+

We have run exactly one paid banner campaign, so here is all of it: Froglabs on the Tool Directory placement, 5–31 July 2026, $100. It served 3,609 impressions to 1,512 unique visitors and returned 21 clicks — a 0.58% CTR, $27.71 CPM, $4.76 per click. That CTR is roughly 6× what display banners typically do (0.05–0.10%) and well above a good native placement (~0.35%), but 21 clicks is a small absolute number and one campaign is not a trend. Buy on the rate, not on the volume.

How much traffic does the site get?+

Roughly 12,000 human pageviews a month, measured with self-hosted Umami on 18 Aug 2026 with bot and headless-browser traffic filtered out (we purged a scraper farm from our analytics in August 2026 and only count visits with real interaction since). This is a small, high-intent audience, not mass reach. Each banner slot lists the trailing-30-day pageviews of the pages it actually renders on, which is always lower than sitewide traffic. Our Umami dashboard is public at /stats, and monthly figures are available on request.

How are impressions and clicks counted?+

By our own Umami instance, against the exact URL paths a placement renders on — no third-party ad server, no estimated reach. An impression is a pageview of a page carrying your banner. We send you the delivery numbers at the end of the run, and you can sanity-check the traffic side yourself at /stats.

Is the slot exclusive?+

Yes. One sponsor per placement per calendar month. No rotation, no second advertiser sharing the unit, no ad network, no programmatic backfill, no third-party trackers on the page. If a slot shows as booked in the checkout, it is genuinely sold.

Will it look like an ad? Will it look spammy?+

Banners are a single static image card in the site's own layout — no popups, no interstitials, no autoplay video, no animation. Featured listings look identical to organic listings apart from a small Featured badge and a higher sort position. Sponsored articles are clearly labelled as sponsored and live on their own /sponsored track, separate from the blog.

What if you reject my creative?+

Everything is reviewed by a human before it goes live, in both directions: we check your creative and you never get a surprise neighbour. If we cannot run your banner, you are refunded in full — nothing goes live until it has passed review.

How do I pay?+

Banners: card, via Stripe checkout — or SOL/USDC on request, just get in touch. Featured listings: on-chain in USDC or SOL, one click from Phantom/Solflare or manually with the memo we generate (the memo has to match or we cannot reconcile it). Sponsored articles: a Stripe payment link once the pitch is accepted, because the piece has to be written and edited first. Nothing auto-renews, ever.

When does it go live, and how long does it run?+

Banners run for the calendar month you book. Featured listings run 7, 30, 90 days depending on tier, with the timer starting at payment verification rather than order creation. Sponsored articles stay up permanently; the Featured placement bundled with the Standard and Premium tiers runs 30 and 90 days respectively.

What is the refund policy?+

Banner: full refund if we reject your creative, since it never ran. Featured listing: once the placement is live the slot is yours until it expires and the sale is final. Sponsored article: one free rewrite cycle, and a 75% refund if we reject the piece after payment.

Do I get a dofollow link?+

Not from a sponsored article — sponsored links are marked per Google's guidelines, and we are not going to risk the domain that makes the placement worth buying. Buy sponsored content for the audience and the permanent explainer page, not for link equity.

Does paying get my tool approved?+

No. Featured buys visibility for a tool that would have been approved anyway — it is not a back door into the directory. Submitting is free, and we decline paid placements that do not fit the directory.
