BreakingOnX sells a few clearly labelled banner sponsorships. Sign in with your email, pick the topics and pages you want, upload the finished banner and a destination URL, and see a preset price for each slot. Every unit says Sponsored, is reviewed by us, and goes live only after it is paid.
How sponsors appear
- Each placement is a static banner (PNG, JPG or WebP, 150KB or less, exact sizes below, 2× accepted) plus a https destination URL. We add UTM tags on the click.
- Several sponsors can book the same topic or page. Those slots rotate. A reader still sees at most one sponsor unit on a page (two on the home page).
- Never inside a story timeline, the facts we know, or search results.
- No pop-ups, interstitials, autoplay, or sticky units, and nothing that moves the page as it loads. An unfilled slot renders nothing: no reserved space, no house ad, no Sponsored label.
- At most one banner per email. Instant story-alert emails are not sponsorable. The digest banner runs at most twice a week per reader.
- Story slots are only bookable while the story is live. If a story ends or becomes sensitive mid-run, we pause the booking and offer a pro-rated credit or a move to another live slot.
- Bookings run for 1, 3, 7, 14 or 30 days and start and end automatically.
