Sponsor DevOpsNess

DevOpsNess is read by DevOps, platform and AI infrastructure engineers who are in the middle of a decision: which gateway, which CI runner, which managed database, what it will cost. If your product belongs in that decision, you can sponsor a labeled placement next to the articles that cover it.

Formats and starting prices

Sponsored inclusion

From $150

Your tool added as a labeled entry in an existing article that already covers your category.

  • One entry of about 80 to 150 words, written or edited by us so it matches the article
  • Labeled "Sponsored" where it appears, with one rel="sponsored" link
  • Stays live for 12 months, and is kept accurate when the article is updated

Affiliate partnership

Commission only

We use your referral link where your tool is already a fair recommendation. No upfront fee.

  • Only in articles where the tool genuinely fits the decision being discussed
  • Every affiliate link is rel="sponsored" and the article carries a disclosure
  • Works best for tools with a free tier readers can try before paying

Site-wide placement

From $250 / month

A text and logo slot shown across the site, labeled as a sponsor.

  • Your logo, a one-line description and one rel="sponsored" link
  • Labeled "Sponsor" and kept separate from article text
  • Booked by the calendar month

Tool sponsorship

Contact for rates

The single sponsor slot on one of our free tools, such as the GitHub Actions cost calculator or the uptime SLA calculator.

  • Your name, a one-line description and one rel="sponsored" link beside the tool
  • Labeled "Sponsor", one sponsor per tool, shown only on tools that match your product
  • Booked by the calendar month

Prices are in USD and are starting points. The final quote depends on the article and the scope.

Ground rules

  • Every paid or affiliate link uses rel="sponsored". We do not sell followed links.
  • Every paid placement is visibly labeled, in the article and next to the link.
  • Rankings, verdicts and "best tool" picks are not for sale. A sponsored entry is added alongside the editorial picks, not in place of them.
  • You can review a placement for factual accuracy before it goes live. You do not get approval over the rest of the article.
  • We only take products that are relevant to engineers reading the article. No gambling, adult, crypto casinos, link packages or unrelated niches.
  • We can decline any request, and we remove a placement if the product changes so it no longer fits.

How it works

  1. Email us the format you want, your product URL and the article you have in mind.
  2. We check the fit and reply with a quote, usually within two working days.
  3. Payment is up front by invoice.
  4. The placement goes live within about seven days of payment.

Questions sponsors ask

Are sponsored links dofollow?

No. All paid and affiliate links carry rel="sponsored", as Google's link spam policy requires. If you are buying links for SEO value, this is not the right fit.

Can I choose which article my product appears in?

Yes, as long as the article covers your category. Suggest one, or ask and we will tell you which articles fit.

Will you write a review or rank my product first?

No. Editorial verdicts are not part of any package. A sponsored entry describes what your product does and who it suits, and it is labeled as sponsored.

How long does a placement stay up?

Sponsored inclusions stay live for 12 months and sponsored posts stay published indefinitely. Site-wide slots run for the months you book.

Do you accept guest posts?

Not as free link placements. If you want to publish on DevOpsNess, the sponsored post format covers it, with the label and link rules above.
