Advertising for active realm shoppers

Put your server in front of players who are already comparing where to play next.

EpicTop100 gets one thing right: an advertising page should feel like a media kit. This page now leads with audience fit, booking clarity, and placement intent so advertisers can decide faster.

Booking notes

Advertisers care about clarity more than hype.

Like the reference site, we separate indicative package pricing from final campaign planning. Inventory is limited, exact reach figures can change, and multi-slot bundles are handled directly so placements stay relevant instead of oversold.

Step 1
Choose placement

Pick a banner slot or listing upgrade based on reach, page context, and monthly budget.

Step 2
Launch creative

Submit your destination URL, art assets, and preferred timing. We verify fit and activate the campaign.

Step 3
Measure results

Use your own analytics while we help with timing, renewals, and multi-slot package planning.

Why this inventory converts

The real advantage is audience intent, not raw ad volume.

The reference page explains inventory clearly but leaves proof mostly abstract. This page should make the buying context explicit: users here are actively researching servers, and ad products can sit directly inside that comparison flow.

Site-wide visibility
High-intent discovery traffic

Players arrive here to compare realms, not passively scroll past ads.

Conversion context
Native listing upgrades available

Sponsored rows and featured cards appear inside the actual decision path.

Campaign handling
Human-reviewed setup

Creative, links, and timing are checked before launch so campaigns stay clean.

Buyer checklist

Before you book

  • Match the placement to your objective: reach, click-through, or direct realm discovery.
  • Prepare destination URLs and creative before checkout to shorten launch time.
  • Use listing upgrades if the campaign is for a realm already in the directory.
  • Contact sales for bundles when you want both awareness and conversion coverage.

Placement Previews

These are simple mock placements to show campaign context before checkout. They are not final creative previews, but they help buyers understand where attention will land.

Premium server path

Already listed? Use a native upgrade.

Featured listings, sponsored rows, and inline directory placements work best when your goal is to intercept players during comparison rather than run a general brand ad.

  • Highlight an existing realm without building a standalone campaign.
  • Keep exposure tied to the server browsing experience.
  • Select from your registered servers during checkout.

Advertiser FAQ

The reference page leaves most operational questions to contact. A short FAQ here reduces hesitation without cluttering the purchase flow.

Common objections

What assets should an advertiser prepare?

A destination URL, the banner or creative file, preferred start date, and any campaign notes. For listing upgrades, an existing registered server is enough to get started.

Are campaigns self-serve or reviewed first?

Checkout starts the booking, but placements are still reviewed before launch so links, creative fit, and slot availability can be confirmed cleanly.

Can brands combine banners with listing upgrades?

Yes. The best packages usually combine one awareness slot with one native directory placement so the same campaign gets both reach and conversion context.

Do you support custom packages?

Yes. If the standard placements do not match the campaign, use the contact path for multi-slot schedules, longer commitments, or partner placements.
