Every month domain investors click out of HumbleWorth about 7,900 times to register, sell, catch or research a name they have just valued. Those clicks fall into four categories. Take the registrar category and every registrar link on this site is yours alone.

Almost every reader is appraising a name they own, valuing one they are about to buy, or working a drop list. Measured 3 September 2026 to 18 September 2026.

Four categories. Four moments. One sponsor each.

Inventory is grouped by which buyer wants it. A registrar wants the moment a name is free; a marketplace wants the moment an owner learns what they hold is worth. Every placement on a category goes to its one sponsor.

01

Registration

Registrars

Someone has just found a name nobody owns. The four register-it actions that follow, on the daily list, the home page, the valuation result and the expired-domains guide, carry one registrar's name: yours.

The valuation sidebar, sold on its own below, shows the same register-it action when a name is free. While a Registration campaign runs, that action follows the Registration sponsor on the sidebar card and on the phone bar; on a taken name it does not. A sidebar buyer is told this before either sale.

Suitable for Dynadot, Spaceship, Namecheap, Porkbun, Sav.

Priced below DNJournal, Home page leaderboard, 728x90, $550 a month.

How the price was set

A registrar's alternative to this category is its own affiliate link on these four positions, which paid this site between $138 and $490 a month over fifteen months, on results only and shared with every other registrar the site links to. The category is priced just above the top of that range, so a registrar pays about what its best affiliate month earned this site and gets the four positions exclusively on top. The ceiling is DNJournal's home page leaderboard at $550, the shared display position registrars already buy.

Sell side

Marketplaces and brokers

An owner has just learned what a name they hold is worth, on one valuation or across a portfolio of up to 2,000. It is the highest-intent moment on the site, and the only place a seller can be reached as they decide to sell. One marketplace's name is there: yours. So is the route to buying a name on the daily list that was free yesterday and is taken today.

Suitable for Afternic, Sedo, Atom, Dan, Saw.com, Media Options.

Priced below DomainInvesting, Sidebar unit, 395x125, $1,200 a month.

How the price was set

Marketplaces and brokers buy two things elsewhere: a shared leaderboard on DNJournal at $550, the floor, and the one sidebar unit DomainInvesting has left at $1,200, the ceiling. The category is priced at the floor. At Sedo's median sale and its 15% commission, the buyer-side clicks on this category are worth in the region of $470 a month to a marketplace at a modest sale rate.

Drop

Drop-catchers and backorder services

Someone is watching names that have not dropped yet and cannot be registered. It is the most-viewed inventory on the site, and every catch-it action on it carries one drop-catcher's name: yours.

Suitable for SnapNames, DropCatch, Park.io, CatchDoms, NameJet.

Priced at NameBio, Featured listing, 30 days, $125 a month.

How the price was set

None of the services this category is sold to pays us anything today, so there is no affiliate commission on a catch competing with a seat here. The one paying backorder link on the site belongs to a registrar, Dynadot, which is a different product bought at a different moment. The ceiling is NameBio's featured listing at $125 for thirty days, which is what Park.io, Catched and GoDaddy Auctions buy today to put names in front of the same investors. The category is priced at that ceiling and not above it until a backorder has been tracked to it.

04

Research

Domain research, history and appraisal tools

Someone is doing due diligence: what a name used to be, whether it carries a penalty, what its backlinks look like. The valuation raises those questions and hands them to one research tool: yours.

Suitable for dotDB, DomainIQ, DomainTools, Spamzilla, NameBio.

Priced below NameBio, Featured listing, 30 days, $125 a month.

How the price was set

Research and appraisal tools mostly run affiliate programmes, dotDB at up to 30%, so a vendor's alternative is a free link that pays on results, worth roughly $55 a month at a modest signup rate. The category is priced below NameBio's $125 featured listing, the ceiling, at what a vendor pays to make that cost fixed and exclusive.

Neither belongs to a category. Buy either or both without one.

Valuation sidebar
$380/mo

The one conventional display unit on the site: a bordered card beside a valuation result on desktop, and the same action as a sticky bar at the foot of the screen on a phone. It sits beside a finished valuation on the page where this site is most read, where DNJournal sells the same size beside news. When the name is free, its action is the register-it action, and that follows the Registration sponsor while a Registration campaign runs. You are told so before either sale.

Priced at DNJournal, Home page rectangle, 300x250, $380 a month.

How the price was set

Priced at DNJournal's home page 300x250, $380, the same size on the industry's trade publication: the ceiling, and the closest like-for-like unit on the card.

Preview the placement
Presented by, Daily Gems
$125/mo

Your name under the Daily Gems heading, on every visit to the page. It is not a link, and it changes nothing about the list: not a ranking, not a threshold, not the order of a name. Priced by how many people see it, because nobody sells the equivalent and nobody clicks a name.

How the price was set

5,747 people a month visit the Daily Gems page. At about $22 per thousand, rounded to the nearest $25, that is $125. No other publisher sells the equivalent, so this is the one price on the card set by readers rather than by what someone else charges.

Included with your category

Smaller placements come with the category they belong to, at no extra charge. Every one of them still goes to one sponsor.

Build and host
Three positions, about 84 genuine clicks a month across them. Included with any category for a builder or host.
Escrow and transfer
Included with the sell side category where the sponsor also runs escrow.
Portfolio cleanup
About 4 genuine clicks a month. Included with the sell side category.

What the same reach costs elsewhere

Each category is priced at or below what its buyer already pays for the nearest thing elsewhere, and each row says what differs. Clicks are measured and shown so you can work out your own effective rate.

The whole site, against the market

The whole site is the four categories, the sidebar card and the Daily Gems line, with no other sponsor anywhere. It costs $2,225 a month. Buying out a similar site elsewhere costs $2,000 to $3,250.

Your name in the footer of every page, as "Presented by", for as long as you hold the whole site. A line and a wordmark, on the same terms as the Daily Gems line: it is not a link, it changes no estimate, rank, threshold or list order, and it never appears on the accuracy page, which runs no commercial units. Sold with the whole site and with nothing else.

How the price was set

No publisher in this niche sells a whole-site exclusive, so there is no direct comparable for this price. It is checked against three market rates instead. DomainInvesting sells one sidebar unit at $1,200 with everything else sold out, so taking a whole site on similar traffic must cost more than one unit: that is the low end, $2,000. DNJournal's eleven home page positions gross $3,230, and one Domaining headline at a 30-day pace is $3,000: the high end is the larger of the two, rounded up to a $25 step, $3,250. Between those two, the price is the four categories, the sidebar card and the Daily Gems line added together, plus about a quarter for having all of them to yourself. A quarter is the low end of what sponsorship benchmarks put on exclusivity, which runs 25% to 50%.

  • Domaining, Sponsored headline, $100 a day, at a 30-day pace $3,000

Terms

Month to month. Cancel any month. Your rate is held for 12 months; after that we give 90 days' notice of any change.

Rolling monthly, no contract
Every category is a monthly subscription. No minimum term, no annual commitment. Cancel whenever you like.
First refusal at renewal
A category is never offered to anyone else while its sponsor is in good standing. If a subscription lapses, it runs to the end of the month already paid for, and the outgoing sponsor is offered the category first, at whatever the card says at that point, for seven days before it goes to the next buyer.
Your price is held for 12 months
The listed rate you are quoted is the rate you pay from the first month, and it is held for the first 12 months of an unbroken subscription. After that, we give 90 days' notice of any change to your rate, and you can still cancel any month. The card is re-read against its comparables and its measurements each quarter. A change applies to new subscriptions at once; an existing subscription gets it only after its first 12 months, and only after 90 days' notice. If you cancel and come back, you come back on whatever the card says then.
Clicks are measured, not promised
The click counts are what the placements measured over the window, shown so you can work out an effective rate, and reported to you every month.
Exclusivity
One sponsor per category, and one sponsor per position inside it. The site cannot be published with two sponsors on the same position; the check runs before every release.
Reporting
A delivery report every month: impressions, genuine clicks and how each placement performed, split by placement. Available on request at any point, not only at renewal.
Disclosure
Every paid placement is labelled. The words "Sponsored by {name} · paid placement" sit in a band across the top of the unit, above your headline and before anything you have written. The label is part of the unit itself, not a separate element: if the unit renders the label renders with it, and it cannot be styled, moved or switched off. Every link out of a paid placement is marked as sponsored for search engines.
Creative
No image assets, no third-party script, no tracking pixel. A sponsored unit is the site's own component carrying your name, one line of copy and your destination, so it survives content blockers and cannot slow the page down. Send us a name, a line and a URL.

Never for sale

Estimates and rankings
No sponsor changes an estimate, a rank, a screening threshold or the order of a list.
Editorial and guides
No sponsored articles, no paid guides, no paid mentions inside written content.
The accuracy page
/about/accuracy runs no commercial units.
