Advertise on Hottop5 — placement options for stores and software brands, without touching our editorial rankings.
Why advertise here
Hottop5 readers arrive already comparing options in a specific category — they’re not browsing, they’re deciding. A placement here puts your store or product in front of someone actively looking for exactly what you sell, at the moment they’re most likely to act.
Placement options
Featured Store
A highlighted spot in the Stores directory and relevant category pages, clearly labeled as a partner placement.
Sponsored Callout
A labeled banner alongside (never inside) a relevant ranked Top 5 list — visually distinct from the organic ranking.
Newsletter Mention
A dedicated mention in our weekly reader email, sent to subscribers who opted in for deal updates.
Sponsored placements never affect Top 5 rankings. Every ranked list stays independently compiled — see our Editorial Policy. A sponsored spot is always labeled as “Sponsored” or “Partner” so readers can tell the difference.
What we need from you
- Store or product name and the category it fits (digital/software, or physical retail)
- Your current best offer — a real, working coupon code or deal, if you have one
- Logo and brand assets for the placement
- A point of contact for approving copy and tracking links
Get started
Email [email protected] with a short note about your store and what you’re looking for, and we’ll follow up with current availability and next steps.
