What you can measure
Every ad click goes through a ShipScroll redirect before reaching your site, so it is counted even if your own analytics miss it. Impressions count once per visitor per day, known bots are excluded, and both numbers appear in your dashboard for each booked week.
We count without tracking cookies and without storing IP addresses; the about page explains how. Want a dofollow link as well as visibility? Compare launch options.
Advertising questions
How much does it cost to advertise on ShipScroll?
A display ad is $19 a week or $99 for 6 weeks; the billboard ad is $99 a week; a side column ad is $29 a week or $149 for 6 weeks. You book whole weeks, Monday to Sunday UTC, and pay once for every placement in your campaign.
What are the ad placements?
A display ad is a Promoted row that looks like a product, shown after every 4 products on the home board, the directory, category pages and search, with 5 advertisers a week. The billboard is a full-width image banner in the home launch list, one advertiser a week. Side column ads sit beside every public page, with 10 places a week. Text ads show your logo, a title of up to 40 characters and a tagline of up to 90; link your ShipScroll product to show its upvotes.
Will I see how my ad performs?
Yes. Impressions and clicks show in your dashboard. Impressions count once per visitor per day, and ad links are marked as sponsored, as search engines require.
Which ad placement should I choose?
Start with a display ad ($19/week): it reads like a product in the lists people browse and works for most advertisers. Add the billboard ($99/week) when you have strong artwork and want the whole home board to yourself for a week. Side column ads ($29/week) appear beside every public page, including product pages and launch stories.
Are ad links dofollow?
No. Ad links carry rel="sponsored", as Google requires for paid links. If you want a dofollow link to your site, launch your tool: free launches are dofollow while our badge is on your site, and Premium launches always are.
Can I cancel an ad booking?
Yes. You get a full refund if you ask before your ad week starts; email hello@shipscroll.com with your order. If two buyers pay for the same slot at the same moment, the later payment is refunded automatically.
