Podvertise Marketplace is a web platform connecting advertisers with podcasters selling advertising opportunities. The homepage says advertisers can search 600,000 active podcasts, browse categories and filter listings by format, placement, duration, language, monthly downloads per episode and price. Available formats include host-read, pre-recorded, sponsored interviews, product reviews, guest exchanges, cross-promotion and YouTube ads. Campaigns support dynamic ad insertion, custom targeting and advanced measurement. Podcasters register for free, create offers and monetize their shows. Advertisers need an account to order and follow status, while PayPal is the currently accepted payment method. Each offer states its delivery period; buyers can contact the podcaster for missing details. Offers have individual prices, including a listed Dakota Spotlight post-roll offer at $300, while marketplace pricing is from $495 with no billing term stated. The terms specify a standard 15% publisher commission, with possible written variations. Publisher payouts use PayPal after completed spots, subject to timing, reach reporting and a $50 minimum. The service says it uses standard safeguards and does not sell personal information under specified U.S. laws.
