ADVERTISE / ZIRULAB
Advertising & Partnerships
ZIRULAB is an independent software resource for research, engineering and everyday technical work. It offers software information, practical workflows and technical content, and is building up original hands-on reviews and tutorials.
Providers of research software, data analysis tools, developer tools and related technical products are welcome to ask about promotion and partnerships.
Each arrangement is agreed according to the product, the placement and your specific needs.
Ways to work together
Sponsored placements
Clearly labelled sponsored placements can be set up on suitable software category pages or related content pages. Placement depends on the software category and how well it fits the page.
Content partnerships
Content about a tool’s features, real use cases, how-tos and applications. Sponsored content discloses the commercial relationship prominently, and hands-on testing is kept clearly apart from information compiled from official sources.
Other technical collaboration
Inquiries about research tools, data processing, software development, automation and related technical work are welcome; details are agreed together.
Partnerships and transparency
- ZIRULAB may accept advertising and sponsorship that fit the site.
- Sponsored placements, paid recommendations and partnership content are clearly labelled “Sponsored” where readers see them. Related paid outbound links carry rel="sponsored" in line with search engine guidance.
- Partnerships may include priority placement in relevant categories or recommendation areas, commercially determined display order and topic-based content. Placement and format are agreed together. Where payment influences content or display order, that influence is disclosed rather than presented as an unsponsored objective ranking.
- Functions, fees and licences are described using verifiable information. Claims of hands-on testing must be supported by test records, and partner-provided descriptions are distinguished from test findings.
- Partner products must fit the page and have verifiable basic information. Terms such as “sponsored recommendation” may be used with a clear commercial label, without presenting paid content as an unsponsored editorial top pick.
- ZIRULAB does not guarantee any particular impressions, clicks, sales or search rankings from a promotion.
Fees
Fees depend on the placement, the duration, the content format and the actual scope of work.
Send a short product introduction and what you have in mind, and we will propose an arrangement and a quote. An inquiry by itself does not create a partnership or a paid contract.
