How to buy a spot on a website
A practical guide to buying advertising space on a website — what to check before you pay, how placement pricing works, and how to buy a spot on PixelWall specifically.

To buy a spot on a website: find a site or wall that sells placements, check its traffic and policies, pick a placement and size, prepare a clean square logo and a working destination URL, then pay the fixed price. Reputable platforms show the price before you pay and verify the payment server-side.
1. Pick where you're buying
Placements are sold in a few different shapes:
- Logo / pixel walls — you own a fixed area on a shared, browsable canvas.
- Sponsor slots — a “sponsored by” strip on a newsletter, repo or tool.
- Directory listings — a row in a curated index.
- Classic banners — rented by impression or week, not owned.
2. Vet the site before you pay
- Traffic. Is it visited regularly, or only on launch day? Ask for numbers or check third-party estimates.
- Audience fit. Are its visitors people who'd care about you?
- Policies. Is there an acceptable-use policy? A wall full of scams isn't a place you want your logo.
- Payment. Is the price fixed and shown up front? Is payment verified properly? Avoid anything that lets the browser mark an order “paid”.
- What you get. A crawlable page? Analytics? The ability to edit later?
3. Prepare your assets
- Logo: square, crisp, minimal text. PNG with transparency, SVG, or WEBP.
- Destination URL: https, fast-loading, relevant. Not a link that redirects three times.
- One-line description: what you do, in plain words.
4. Buy the spot
Choose your area and size, upload the logo, paste the URL, confirm the price, and pay. Keep the order reference. If the platform reserves your spot for a payment window, finish payment inside it or the area is released.
Buying a spot on PixelWall
- Open the wall and pan to an empty area.
- Pick a size (1×1 up to premium 32×32) — see pricing.
- Upload your logo, set your destination URL, add a short description and category.
- Preview exactly how it will look, then pay the shown amount in USDT on TRON (TRC-20).
- The payment is verified on-chain; your spot activates and gets its own page.
You can change the logo, link and details later from your dashboard. Size and position are fixed at purchase.
