Advertise on Sourcenia
Reach buyers at the moment they are looking for a material — with placements that are always labelled as paid.
Placements
Three ways to appear, all of them visible to the reader as paid placement.
Featured supplier
Your company profile is lifted to the top of the supplier directory and appears in the featured strip on the home page for the period you book.
- Top of the supplier directory, on every page of results.
- A place in the featured strip on the home page.
- A Featured label wherever the company appears.
- Booked by the month; you choose when it starts.
Featured product
One product is placed above the ordinary sort order in its own category and in the searches that match it, without changing anything the page says.
- Above the regular results in its category and in matching searches.
- A Featured label on the product card.
- Works with any pricing, including Contact for price.
- Booked per product, by the month.
Advertising slots
Display advertising on category, search and editorial pages — served through our ad network partners, or booked directly for a category you want to own.
- Standard display formats served through Google AdSense.
- Direct placements for advertisers who want one specific category.
- No pop-ups, no interstitials, nothing that plays sound by itself.
- Ads always sit apart from listings and are labelled as advertising.
Prices are not published yet — write to us and you will get a quote for your category and period.
The details
Who reads the site, what money can and cannot buy here, and how a booking works.
Who reads this site
Sourcenia is read by people sourcing raw materials: procurement staff, manufacturers, traders and workshops. Most of them arrive from a search for one specific material rather than browsing for entertainment, which makes this a small audience with unusually direct commercial intent — someone reading a page about polyester yarn is, more often than not, trying to buy polyester yarn.
The site is new and we do not publish traffic figures we cannot yet stand behind. Write to us and we will tell you what the numbers actually are for the category you care about, including when they are small. A number you can check is worth more than one that flatters us into a booking you regret.
What paid placement does not change
- A paid placement is always labelled as featured. We do not sell an unmarked position.
- Paid placement never grants a verified badge. Verification is a check we carry out, not a product we sell.
- We do not remove, demote or hide a competitor's listing for money.
- We do not alter a product page's content, specifications or description for an advertiser.
- Category descriptions and any editorial text on the site are not for sale.
The reason is plain self-interest rather than virtue: a directory whose ranking is quietly for sale loses its buyers, and a directory without buyers has nothing worth selling to a supplier.
Booking and prices
Prices are not published yet. Rates depend on the category, the period and the format, and we would rather quote you something real than publish a number we would have to correct next month.
Write to us with the company, category or product you want to promote, the period you have in mind and the market you are trying to reach. You get a written quote; the placement runs for a fixed period and ends when that period ends. Nothing renews by itself.
If we cannot deliver a placement you have booked, we extend it or refund the unused part. Where a listing is removed for breaching the terms of use, the remaining period is not refunded.
What we do not accept
- Advertising for goods that may not be listed on the site at all — the list is in the terms of use.
- Creative that imitates the site's own interface, a search result or a system message.
- Medical, financial or performance claims that cannot be supported.
- Advertising aimed at consumers rather than businesses.
- Anything that collects a visitor's data under a false pretext.
We may refuse or withdraw an advertisement, and our explanation will not go further than pointing at the rule it breaks.
