# Advertise — Please Quote Me

One sponsor, one week. A single tasteful ad rides the reading pages of Please
Quote Me — an oral history of creativity — priced from what it's actually worth.

## This week's rate

Trailing 7-day reach (the seven complete days before today):

- Sessions: 0
- Newsletter emails delivered: 0
- Total reach: 0

**A week costs $1.00** — $5.00 per 1,000 people reached, with a $1.00 floor (a launch week with no traffic yet costs exactly the floor).

## How the price is set

Reach = sessions + delivered newsletter emails — real humans who saw the site.
We count delivered emails, not opens (Apple's Mail Privacy inflates opens into
fiction). Admin traffic and bots are excluded; analytics are cookieless and
IP-masked. The rate you buy at is snapshotted, so your receipt stays honest even
after the rate moves.

## What runs

Your week buys three placements:

1. The sponsor slot on every reading page — a square image, a linked headline, and up to 90 characters of tagline.
2. A newsletter mention reaching every subscriber once during your week — a direct link to your own site (never an affiliate link).
3. Write a sponsor post and it earns its own permalink and rides both our sponsors feed and the featured feed.

Never beside affiliate links, never sold to trackers.

## How it works

1. Pick the next open week — weeks run Sunday to Sunday.
2. Upload your image, headline, tagline, and link. Add a sponsor post if you like.
3. Pay by card. Your card is authorized now and charged when we approve — a day or two.
4. Approved ads go live the following Sunday.
5. If it's not approved or the card doesn't clear, the week is freed and you're not charged.
Next open week: Sunday, August 16, 2026 — $1.00 at today's rate.
