In brief
- We sell clearly-labelled sponsored content and display placements. Cash only — never securities.
- Editorial coverage is not for sale at any price, to anyone, including affiliated businesses.
- Every paid placement carries a Section 17(b) disclosure at the top naming the payer, the relationship and the amount.
- We decline work routinely. A signed order does not oblige us to publish.
- No traffic claims on this page. We share current figures under NDA on request, from the analytics account itself.
What we sell
| Format | What it is |
|---|---|
| Sponsored article | A standalone page presenting the company's own material. Lives at a /sponsored/ URL, carries the disclosure box above the content, and is visually distinct from editorial. |
| Newsletter placement | A labelled advertisement block within an email. Marked as an advertisement in the subject-adjacent position, never presented as editorial content. |
| Display placement | Standard ad units on editorial pages, visually separated and labelled. |
| Product advertising | Brokers, data providers, trading platforms and similar. Relates to a product or service rather than a security, so 17(b) does not apply — but it is still labelled, and any commission relationship is stated. |
What we don't sell
- Editorial coverage. Guides, tools, the glossary and editorial newsletter content cannot be bought into, mentioned into, or included in. There is no price.
- Native placement that imitates editorial. If it's paid, it looks paid. We will not produce paid material styled as one of our guides.
- Our byline. Sponsored material never appears under the StocksAce editorial byline, and we will not describe paid material as our analysis or opinion.
- Ratings, price targets or projections. Not in our voice, and not in yours on our pages.
- Link equity. Links in sponsored material carry appropriate attributes. We do not sell followed links, and we don't entertain link-insertion requests.
- Subscriber data. Our list is not rented, sold, co-registered or shared, and we do not send third-party emails to it under our name.
The disclosure you are buying into
This matters more than rates, so it comes before them. Every sponsored placement carries this box, at the top of the page, above the content. It is generated from the deal record when the page is built — a sponsored page on this site cannot be published without a complete disclosure attached. It is not a template someone has to remember to paste.
This is the exact format, filled with illustrative values:
If that level of disclosure is a problem for a campaign, we are the wrong publisher, and it is better for both of us to establish that in the first email.
What we decline
We turn down work, and we'd rather be explicit about the categories than waste your time:
- Payment in stock, warrants, options or any security of the issuer — cash only, without exception
- Campaigns where the payer will not be named in the disclosure
- Copy containing price targets, projected returns, or "guaranteed" anything
- Claims we've been given no basis to believe, or that contradict the company's own filings
- Urgency devices — countdowns, "before Monday", limited-time framing tied to a security
- Material aimed at a company in an active enforcement proceeding, or with a trading suspension
- Anything designed to look like our editorial, a news alert, or a regulatory notice
- Campaigns coordinated with an ongoing offering in a way we're not told about
We may also check the issuer's filing history before accepting, and we may decline on what we find without explaining which item decided it.
Audience and reach
StocksAce launched in September 2026. We are not going to put invented traffic or subscriber numbers on this page, and you should treat any small-cap publisher that does with suspicion — the figures are trivially inflatable and almost never independently verified.
What we will do: share current analytics directly, screen-shared from the account or exported, under NDA if you prefer, before you commit to anything. If the numbers don't support your campaign, we'd rather you knew.
Editorially, the audience we are building is self-directed retail investors researching small- and micro-cap companies — people who read filings, run screens, and look up what a 424B5 is. It is a smaller audience than a stock-alert list and a considerably more deliberate one.
Ownership, and why we lead with it
StocksAce is owned and operated by Stock Ships LLC, which operates other financial media properties and has interests in an investor-awareness business that is compensated by public companies. All of that is stated plainly in our disclosures, in our WHOIS record, and on our about page.
We disclose it because the alternative is what this sector is known for: networks of publisher shells with hidden common ownership and payments routed through entities that never appear on the page. That structure is the reason small-cap media is distrusted, and the reason regulators look at it. We'd rather be the boring, checkable version.
How it works
-
Get in touch
Email editor@stocksace.com with the issuer, the ticker, the format you're interested in and the intended timing.
-
We review
We look at the issuer's filings and the proposed material. We'll tell you quickly if it isn't a fit, and why where we can.
-
Terms and disclosure record
Written order confirming payer, amount, form, period and any securities held. Those fields are what populate the disclosure box — they're not a separate marketing step.
-
Publication
Payment cleared in cash before publication. Material goes live with the disclosure attached, at a
/sponsored/URL, for the stated period.
Advertising and sponsorship enquiries: editor@stocksace.com. Please include the ticker in the subject line. We reply to enquiries that name the issuer; we don't reply to unnamed "exciting opportunity" outreach.
You're welcome here — this page is public on purpose. The short version: we sell advertising, we label it, and we never sell our guides, tools or glossary. If you're reading something on this site without a red disclosure box at the top, nobody paid for it. Our full disclosures have the detail, and our editorial standards describe how the two are kept apart.
