Google itself puts us on page 1.
Google Search Console is Google's own reporting tool for publishers, impossible to game. It shows how often our articles appear in front of people searching for DS / AI topics, where we rank, and how many click.
The 16.4M is a 28-day dashboard total that includes the early days of the reporting window, when daily impressions were still ramping. At the current daily impression rate, we're tracking to 20M+ per month. Your brand rides alongside content Google treats as a first-page answer to practitioner questions. Verifiable on request, happy to screen-share the Search Console dashboard on a call.
Country breakdown
How they find us
High-intent organic search traffic. Google alone sends 97K+ visitors/month (plus 14K more from Google News).

Reached the Hacker News front page in April 2026, driving 5,800+ direct visitors plus broader amplification across hckrnews, brutalist.report, Mastodon, Bluesky, and Slack/Teams pastes.

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 |

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.

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
- 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 advertise@letsdatascience.com with your company, desired placement, and timing. We reply within 48 hours with availability and a short proposal.
What do I need to provide?
A fully designed, responsive creative sized to the exact pixel dimensions listed for your chosen placement (desktop, tablet, and mobile sizes are spec'd per placement above). You can submit it as an HTML snippet, a PNG/WebP/SVG, or a small self-contained bundle, the creative space is yours. You control the layout, copy, brand, imagery, and call-to-action within that space. We review every creative for brand safety, file weight, link destinations, and basic accessibility before it goes live, and will flag anything that needs a quick adjustment. You also send us the destination URL; we append UTM parameters so reporting is clean.
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 monthly report with impressions, clicks, CTR, geographic breakdown, and day-over-day trends. Data is pulled from PostHog and Vercel Analytics, no inflation, 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.
