Get your product in front of the people who actually ship code. Permanent placements from $20 β one-time, no expiring subscriptions, no Google Ads, no creepy tracking.
A growing audience of working and aspiring devs.
Hundreds of thousands of developers read jsschools each month β JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node, and the modern web. Curated by industry experts.
Why this beats Google Ads
Clean placement. Real attention. Zero ad-tech.
We turn down ad networks for a reason. Every banner you've ever scroll-blocked, every tracker that slowed a page to a crawl, every auto-playing video that ruined your morning β that's the thing we're not selling.
No Google Ads.
Zero AdSense, AdX, or third-party ad networks. No surveillance, no creepy retargeting, no auto-playing video. Just your message β placed by us.
A 100% developer audience.
Every reader is here to learn JavaScript, TypeScript, React, or Node. If your product helps developers ship β your money goes further here than on Twitter or LinkedIn.
Pages stay fast.
No ad scripts, no trackers, no slow third-party JS. Core Web Vitals stay green. Your brand shows up next to content that actually loads.
Permanent placement.
Your ad lives on the site for as long as jsschools does. No expiring subscriptions, no monthly invoices. Pay once, reach developers forever.

FAQ
The questions we hear most.
What does "permanent" actually mean?
For the life of jsschools.com. If we shut the site down, we refund the unused portion. We have no plans to shut it down β we've been building for 5+ years.
How does the random rotation work?
For Lesson Banner, the side banner on every lesson rotates randomly every second among all Lesson Banner partners β equal fair-share, no auction, no bidding. For Hero Sponsor, the home-page hero title is randomly picked from the Hero Sponsor pool on every page visit. Single Page ads don't rotate β you own that page outright.
What if you sell more Lesson Banner slots later?
Your share dilutes proportionally β that's the trade for a permanent rotation slot at a flat fee. We publish the current partner count on this page so you always know what you're getting. Realistically we cap the pool well below "too thin to notice".
Why no Google Ads?
Two reasons. First, they slow pages down with megabytes of tracking JS. Second, the content next to a Google Ad is, statistically, whatever pays the most β usually irrelevant to our readers and often actively user-hostile. We'd rather curate.
What ad creative do you accept?
A short tagline (β€ 50 chars), a target URL, and a logo. For Hero Sponsor, we also ask for a 50-word write-up. We'll handle the styling so your ad fits the page. No animation, no auto-play, no popups, ever.
Can I update my ad later?
Yes β one update per year is included. Want to swap copy or change the link? Email us; we'll deploy the change within 48 hours.
Do you track clicks?
No. We don't run any ad-tracking infrastructure β that's the whole point of buying a placement here instead of on an ad network. Performance measurement is the advertiser's responsibility: add UTM parameters to your URL and read the traffic in your own analytics.
