Advertise on Two Timezones

Adults in relationships that cross a border: long-distance couples, people preparing a first visit or a first meeting with a partner’s family, people going through a fiancé or spouse visa process, and people who have already moved. English-language, mostly arriving from organic search and Pinterest, and overwhelmingly on phones.

They read long: the pieces here run 1,500 to 3,000 words and the sessions match. That matters for viewability far more than a raw pageview number does.

On traffic figures: we do not print them on a public page, because any number here is stale within a month and there is no way for you to verify it. Ask, and we will send current analytics for whatever period you want — pageviews, sessions, top countries, device split, top-performing sections — as an export and a screenshot of the dashboard, not a designed slide.

Practical guides, country guides, and safety journalism about romance fraud. Every piece is bylined and edited to the published editorial policy, which rules out the two things that usually make this category unsafe for brands: stereotyping national groups, and “find a foreign wife” commerce.

There are no comments, no forums, no user-generated content and no adult material — so there is no moderation queue between your creative and something you would not want to be next to.

• Every box is reserved on the server. The dimensions above are painted into the HTML before any third-party script runs, so a slow, blocked or unfilled unit shifts nothing. Cumulative Layout Shift stays flat whether or not the reader runs a blocker — which protects your viewability as much as our Core Web Vitals.
• Sandboxed by default. Network code runs in an isolated frame with no access to the page. Formats that genuinely need top-level access are enabled deliberately, one placement at a time, and most never are.
• Lazy below the fold. Above-the-fold units render immediately; the rest load as the reader approaches them.
• Labelled.The word “Advertisement” sits above every unit on the site. There are no native placements dressed as editorial, and there never will be.
• Direct or programmatic. We can run a network tag (AdSense, Adsterra and similar) or a direct creative — image, HTML5 or a plain sponsor banner — in any slot. Our ads.txt is public and kept current.
• Reporting. Direct campaigns get impression and click figures from our side at the end of each month, and we will not argue with your ad server if the numbers differ by the usual few percent.

This is policy, not preference, and it is not negotiable at any price. We will decline, or remove mid-flight without refund:

• Dating-scam operators and romance-fraud lead generation.Including “chat with women” sites that charge per message, operations staffed by paid chatters, and anything whose funnel depends on a reader believing a person is real when they are not.
• “Mail-order bride” and introduction agencies.Any service that sells contact with women, sells addresses or “profiles” of them, or markets people from a country as a purchasable category. This is the single largest advertiser category in our niche, and it is the one we exist in opposition to.
• Predatory financial products.Payday and triple-digit-APR lending, advance-fee loans, debt-relief and credit-repair pitches, “guaranteed return” crypto and forex schemes, and — specifically — fund-recovery services targeting fraud victims, which are almost always the second scam.
• Deceptive creative. Fake system alerts, fake chat or message notifications, fake close buttons, countdown pressure, anything imitating our own interface, or a creative that does not match its landing page.
• Disruptive formats. Pop-unders, back-button hijacks, auto-playing audio, full-screen interstitials over an article a reader is already reading.
• Adult content, miracle health claims, and fake profile bait.No “singles in your area” creatives using stock photographs of women who have not agreed to it.

If a network keeps serving these into our slots after we report them, we drop the network. We have no way to pre-vet every programmatic creative, so if you see one on this site, tell us at hello@twotimezones.com and it comes down.

Direct placements are sold as fixed-price monthly buys, by section or run-of-site; programmatic demand fills the same slots when nothing direct is booked. There is no rate card on this page for the same reason there are no traffic figures — write and we will send the current one.

Email hello@twotimezones.comwith “Advertising” in the subject line and include: the product and its landing page, the dates you want, the formats above you are interested in, any geographic targeting, and who the creative comes from. We reply within two business days. We need the final landing page and creative before a campaign starts, and the two have to match.

Editorial coverage is not for sale in any form, including sponsored articles, link insertions and “partner” posts. The reasoning, and what would have to change before that were ever revisited, is in the editorial policy.
