Why advertise here
A quiet room, not a billboard wall.
We keep ad inventory deliberately small. One sponsor per placement. No pop-ups, no interstitials, no chumbox. Our readers trust us because we earn it every day, and that trust extends to the brands we place next to our work.
- One of the few sites where 100% of the audience is actively in data science or AI.
- Clean, modern reading experience. Sponsors stand out, not disappear in a grid of 10.
- One sponsor per placement at a time. One sponsor per News Feed category (one of 7, never all seven). Full Takeover is the only bundle product, and it is clearly labeled.
- Transparent monthly reporting: impressions, clicks, geographic breakdown.
- We say no more than we say yes. Your brand is placed next to content we stand behind.

Inventory & availability
One advertiser per slot.
Inventory is deliberately capped. One advertiser per placement per flight. No advertiser may occupy multiple slots of the same placement within the same booking period, it protects your share of voice and our readers from seeing the same creative repeatedly.
| Placement | Capacity |
|---|---|
| News Article Inline | 1 slot |
| Blog Article Inline | 1 slot |
| News Feed Card | 7 slots |
| Weekly Newsletter | 1 slot / issue |
| Daily Newsletter | 1 slot / issue |
| Full Takeover | 1 advertiser |
News Feed. 7 category slots
Pick one category per booking. Exactly one sponsored card per band, inserted natively into the horizontal scroller on /news. The 7 categories appear in this order on the real feed:
Exclusivity rule. One advertiser per placement type within the same flight. Same brand cannot occupy two News Feed categories or two inline slots simultaneously. If you want multi-surface presence for a full month, Full Takeover is the only product that bundles every surface under one brand, and it is clearly labelled as a takeover.
Category exclusivity (e.g., only one vector database advertiser across the whole site for the month) is available on request for a small premium. Mention it in your inquiry.

Let's Data Science · Daily Brief
Your Brand
One-line value prop for DS & AI teams.
Own every surface for the month.
Full Takeover locks the entire site to a single brand for the full month. No other sponsor runs anywhere. The 6 News Feed categories you do not claim stay empty of paid ads, the newsletter carries only you, the inline placements are only you. It is the only product where the reader sees one brand, everywhere, throughout the window.
Site-wide exclusivity for the month. Billed as a single line item.
A-la-carte reference (for transparency): News inline ($1,500) + Blog inline ($1,000) + 1 News Feed card, 1 of 7 categories ($400) + 4 Weekly Newsletter issues ($1,000) = $3,900/mo. The $1,100 Takeover premium is the price of site-wide exclusivity, which cannot be purchased a-la-carte. No other sponsor runs anywhere during your window.
What we say no to
The brands we don't accept.
We only accept sponsors we'd recommend to our own readers. The inventory we decline is part of why the inventory we accept is valuable.
- Crypto speculation, NFTs, or "get rich" schemes
- Low-quality "AI course" mills or scammy bootcamps
- Dating, gambling, adult, or anything off-brand for serious practitioners
- Sponsored content disguised as editorial (we always disclose)
- Anything we wouldn't genuinely recommend to our own readers

Frequently asked
The details.
How do I get started?
Fill out the inquiry form below or email [email protected] with your company, desired placement, and timing. We reply within 48 hours with availability and a short proposal.
What do I need to provide?
For display placements, send a fully designed responsive creative sized to the exact pixel dimensions listed for your chosen placement. HTML snippets, PNG/WebP/SVG assets, or small self-contained bundles are acceptable. For sponsored content, send the draft, press release, or detailed brief, plus the brand/site, target product page, preferred timing, and any required disclosure notes. We review every creative and sponsored piece for brand safety, file weight, link destinations, basic accessibility, factual accuracy, and audience fit before it goes live.
Can the same advertiser buy multiple slots?
No. One advertiser per placement type per flight. The same brand cannot occupy two News Feed category slots, two inline slots, or any multi-slot configuration within the same booking period, it protects your share of voice and keeps our readers from seeing the same creative repeatedly. If you want multi-surface presence for a full month, Full Takeover is the only product that bundles every surface under one brand, and it is clearly labelled. Category exclusivity (e.g., only one vector-database advertiser across the whole site for the month) is available on request for a small premium.
What is the maximum booking period?
Placements are available in flights of 1, 2, or 3 months. Three months is the maximum single booking. Renewals and back-to-back flights are welcome on request, and are treated as new bookings at whatever rate is published at the time of renewal.
What does Full Takeover actually include, and how is it priced?
Full Takeover is a site-wide exclusivity product for brands that want to own every surface of Let's Data Science for a month. You get News Article Inline, Blog Article Inline, one News Feed category card (one of 7, we never hand a single brand all seven), and all four Weekly Newsletter issues that send during the month. Daily Newsletter issues will join the bundle once that product launches. The key product promise: no competing sponsor runs anywhere on the site during your window. The 6 News Feed categories you did not claim stay empty of paid ads, the newsletter carries only you, the inline placements are only you. That is the exclusivity. Priced at $5,000 / month, billed as a single line item, clearly labelled as a Takeover. For transparency: a-la-carte reference for the 4 booked placements comes to $3,900 / month ($1,500 news inline + $1,000 blog inline + $400 one News Feed card + $1,000 four newsletter issues). The $1,100 premium is the price of site-wide exclusivity, which is not available a-la-carte.
Can your rates change?
Yes. Published rates reflect current market positioning and may be revised in the future as our reach and placement history grows. However, once a booking is contracted at a specific rate, that rate is honored in full for the entire contracted term, rate revisions only apply to new bookings made after the revision date.
How do you report performance?
Every sponsor receives a report with impressions, clicks, CTR, geography, and timing trends where the placement format supports it. Data is pulled from first-party Cloudflare Web Analytics, Cloudflare Analytics Engine, and campaign link tracking. No inflated publisher math, no dark patterns.
What are your payment terms?
Invoice on go-live, net 15. Razorpay is our preferred payment method for all advertisers, billed in USD, credit card is preferred, debit card also supported. Direct bank transfer (SWIFT / ACH / IBAN) is available on request for enterprise buyers who need it.
How long does approval take?
We review creative and landing page within 2 business days. Once approved, placements go live within 24 hours.
How does sponsored content differ from display placements?
Display placements (News Inline, Blog Inline, etc.) are ad slots within our editorial content. Sponsored content is a full article or press release written about your product that lives permanently on our site. Every sponsored piece carries a visible "Sponsored" disclosure badge, all outbound links use rel="sponsored", and all content goes through our editorial review. We never disguise sponsored content as editorial. This is the most transparent model available and fully complies with Google's guidelines and FTC disclosure requirements.
Who writes the sponsored article?
Most sponsors provide the draft, press release, or detailed brief. We review and edit for factual accuracy, relevance to our audience, disclosure, link compliance, and brand safety before publication. If you want us to produce the article from a brief, we scope that editorial work separately before invoicing.
Can sponsored content be removed later?
Sponsored content is permanent by default, that is part of the value proposition (evergreen SEO exposure). If you need a piece taken down after publication, we will honor removal requests, but no refund applies since the placement was already delivered.
