The masthead
Advertise with us
AI Geek costs readers nothing, and advertising is what pays for it. If your business builds, sells or uses AI, everything is below: what is on offer, what we will not run at any price, and the rates. Already know what you want? The advertising enquiry form is here.
Who reads it
People who want AI reported without the hype: developers, founders, IT and operations leaders, and the professionals working out what these tools actually do and what they cost. They come because the coverage separates what a system can demonstrably do from what a launch claims, with the primary source, the benchmark or the documentation linked. They are hard to impress and quick to check, which is the point. On our own reach we make no claim we cannot back: ask for the figure and you will get the unflattering version if that is the true one.
How many, honestly
So here is the unflattering version, without you having to ask for it. It comes straight from our own logs and is regenerated rather than typed in once, so it cannot quietly drift into being a claim we can no longer back.

Measured over the 30 days to 2026-08-27, from our own server-side logs. These are page views, not people: we run no cookies and no client-side script, so unique visitors cannot be counted and we will not quote you a number we cannot stand behind. The lower figure is the floor we are confident in. The range subtracts an estimate of our own visits, measured against staged mastheads nobody can reach.
Two ways to advertise
Clearly labelled display advertising. A slot that says it is advertising and sits clear of the journalism. Your message in your own words. It is not dressed as a story, and it does not reach the editorial in any way.
Sponsored content. We write it, we check it, and it meets the bar the rest of the site meets, with its label attached wherever it runs. Claims still point at a primary source, which for this subject usually means the paper, the model card or the documentation. It works when the thing is real: a tool that does what it says, a capability worth explaining properly, work you have genuinely done. It does not work as adjectives, and a product claim will not be laundered through our byline.
What we will not do
AI is a field built on overstatement, which is exactly why the line matters most here. We do not write fake or paid-positive reviews, and no advertiser can buy a favourable review, a benchmark result or a recommendation. What money gets you here is a labelled placement, and nothing beyond it: no coverage, no quiet edit of a review, and no say in what we tell readers a tool can and cannot do. Anything that would require us to overstate a capability, repeat an unverifiable claim, or conceal a commercial interest is declined, and we will say which of those it was.
Disclosure, every time
Every commercial relationship, affiliate arrangements included, is stated in plain words where it appears. That is worth more to an advertiser than it costs. This audience assumes undisclosed promotion by default and treats anything that smells of it as noise, so the label is what buys a hearing. It is also required of us, and the rule would stay regardless.
Rates and how to enquire
Sponsored editorial starts at $450 and typically comes in around $600. Open-source projects and not-for-profits start at $150. A data-led piece, built on a real dataset with a chart we author and a methodology note, starts at $1,100, in line with the extra work.
Display is the smaller commitment: from $80 a month, usually near $120, in three-month blocks. It should be said plainly that the readership here is still modest, so a box is a presence rather than reach, and in a field this crowded the thing that keeps working is a piece somebody checked.
The rate is published because this field, more than most, is drowning in confident copy that nobody checked. Writing that names its sources and reads the actual instrument or paper is scarce, and it is the only thing here worth paying for. So a piece takes the time it takes, gets a visible label, and says what a model or a product does not do as readily as what it does. If that is not the piece you want, the price is a quick way to find out.
No obligation in an enquiry. Use the advertising enquiry form, tell us what you are building and what you had in mind, and we will reply.
Who writes this, and how it is checked and labelled, is at how this site works.
