Ready to advertise your service on Tor.run? Get in touch through any of these channels:

Jabber (OTR): tordotrun@jabb.im

Dread Direct Message: /u/tordotrun

When contacting us, please include: Type of advertising you're interested in (Banner or Trusted Markets). Service name and .onion URL. Brief description of your service. For Trusted Markets: Link to Dread subdirectory and uptime verification. PGP public key for encrypted communication.

Q: Can I advertise a clearnet service?

We primarily focus on .onion services, but legitimate privacy-focused clearnet services (VPNs, privacy tools, wallets, etc.) may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Contact us with your service details for review.

Q: How long does the approval process take?

Standard banner ads: 24 hours after payment confirmation. Trusted Markets placement: 24-48 hours due to comprehensive verification requirements

Q: Can I get a discount for longer commitments?

Yes! We offer substantial discounts for longer-term advertising commitments. Contact us to discuss special rates for 3-month, 6-month, and annual contracts. Multi-month commitments also lock in your current rate even if prices increase.

Q: What happens if my service goes down temporarily?

For Trusted Markets listings, we understand temporary downtime happens (DDOS attacks, server maintenance, network issues). Short downtime (1-3 days) is acceptable. Extended downtime (7+ consecutive days) may result in temporary listing removal pending investigation. We'll contact you first before taking any action.

Q: Can vendor shops apply for Trusted Markets placement?

Vendor shops with exceptional reputation may be considered if they meet all requirements (4+ months uptime, Dread presence, positive feedback). However, Trusted Markets is primarily designed for full darknet markets. Vendor shop consideration is coming soon on a case-by-case basis.

Q: What's the difference between banner ads and Trusted Markets placement?

Banner ads are standard image-based advertisements displayed site-wide on both platforms. Trusted Markets is an exclusive premium feature on the homepage with your market fully integrated into the design, including logo, status, payment methods, and direct links. Trusted Markets has strict eligibility requirements, while banner ads are open to most services.

Q: Do you offer any targeting options?

Banner ads are displayed across both platforms and all category pages. Trusted Markets placement is exclusively on the homepage. We don't offer granular targeting, but our audience is highly relevant - active darknet users specifically looking for verified services.

Q: What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Monero (XMR) - preferred for privacy, and Bitcoin (BTC) with appropriate mixing. All payments require PGP-signed confirmation. Payment addresses are provided after agreement.

Q: Can I update my banner or information after it's live?

Yes! Banner ad creatives can be updated anytime (no additional charge). Trusted Markets information (URLs, mirrors, logo) can be updated as needed. Contact us for updates.

Q: What if my market doesn't meet the 4-month requirement yet?

For newer markets, we recommend starting with standard banner advertising to build recognition. Once you meet the 4-month uptime requirement and have established Dread presence, you can upgrade to Trusted Markets placement.

Q: Are there any volume discounts for multiple ad placements?

Contact us if you're interested in multiple banner slots or combining banner ads with Trusted Markets placement. We can discuss package deals for comprehensive advertising coverage.
