nowyourlink is an online advertising marketplace running a single ad placement called The Spotlight via a daily sealed-bid auction. One auction runs per day, closing at 00:00 UTC. All bids are hidden from other participants — no advertiser can see competing bids. The highest bid wins 100% of the nowyourlink homepage for the following 24 hours, with zero ad rotation and no competing creatives. The winning link goes live immediately after the auction closes.
There is no subscription and no fixed rate card. The minimum bid is €1, with bids moving in flat €1 increments. Joining and bidding is free — advertisers only pay if their bid wins.
nowyourlink is built for founders, indie hackers, and growth leads at self-funded SaaS products and developer-facing tools who want a measurable traffic spike on a specific calendar day — a launch, a Product Hunt drop, or a cohort start — without minimum spends, long-term contracts, or opaque pricing.
A developer SDK and CLI toolkit (nowyourlink-agent-kit) support programmatic and AI-agent bidding. The platform is GDPR-compliant and available in English and German.
