Podvertise Marketplace connects advertisers seeking podcast placements with podcasters selling ad inventory. Advertisers can browse a catalog whose homepage says it includes 600,000 active podcasts, then filter listings by category, ad format, position, duration, language, monthly downloads per episode, and price. Categories include arts, business, comedy, education, news, sports, technology, and true crime. Formats include host-read and pre-recorded ads, sponsored interviews, product reviews, guest exchanges, cross-promotion, and YouTube ads. Listings have individual prices; the stated starting price is $495. One Dakota Spotlight post-roll offer is priced at $300 and describes a 30-second English host-read ad, 20,000 impressions, and 5k–15k monthly downloads per episode. It also offers pre-roll and mid-roll placements. Podcasters can register for free and create offers. Advertisers need an account to order and track order status, and PayPal is the currently accepted marketplace payment method. Each offer gives a delivery period, and buyers can contact the podcaster through the offer for more detail. Podvertise describes its campaign workflow as hybrid, supports dynamic ad insertion, and lists custom targeting and advanced measurement. Its terms set a standard 15% publisher commission, with variations possible by written agreement.
