Sponsor the tracker

ElNinoLive tracks one thing: the 2026–27 El Niño. Readers come to check a number, not to browse — which makes them a small audience with unusually little wasted attention.

What you can sponsor

One sponsor takes all five placements together for the whole period — they are not sold one by one, and no second brand appears in any of them. Each is shown below on a real page with the slot outlined.

  • Live map banner
    The live satellite map page with the sponsor banner outlined directly under the map

    Scroll sideways to see the whole page.

    Live map banner

    Where:
    Directly under the live satellite map, full width, in the page itself — never over the map.
    Who sees it:
    The largest audience on the site: people who come to see the warm water for themselves. The most visited page, on phones and desktop alike.
    Format:
    Your name, one line of text and a link. No animation.
  • Dashboard banner
    The live dashboard with the sponsor banner outlined directly under the current reading

    Scroll sideways to see the whole page.

    Dashboard banner

    Where:
    The live dashboard at elninolive.com, full width, directly under the current reading (since Sep 23, 2026).
    Who sees it:
    Everyone who comes to check where the event stands — the second most visited page on the site, after the map.
    Format:
    Your name, one line of text and a link. No animation.
  • Article sidebar card
    An impacts article with the sponsor card outlined in the right-hand sidebar

    Scroll sideways to see the whole page.

    Article sidebar card

    Where:
    The sidebar of every article — regional impacts, sector effects, past events and the 2026 explainer. Desktop screens; phones do not show the sidebar.
    Who sees it:
    Readers looking up what this El Niño means for their region or industry.
    Format:
    A card with your name and one line.
  • Briefing sponsor line
    An issue of the weekly briefing with the place of the sponsor line marked after the data section

    Scroll sideways to see the whole page.

    Briefing sponsor line

    Where:
    Every Friday issue of The El Niño Briefing, after the data section.
    Who sees it:
    Confirmed subscribers — people who asked for one email a week about this event.
    Format:
    One sentence of plain text, labelled as sponsorship. Not a banner.
  • Briefing archive line
    The web archive page of a briefing issue with the place of the sponsor line marked

    Scroll sideways to see the whole page.

    Briefing archive line

    Where:
    The same issue on its page in the briefing archive.
    Who sees it:
    Readers who open the issue from the email or find it through search.
    Format:
    The same line as in the email.

A different product: the data

The ENSO indicator feeds behind the dashboard are documented on the data page, and the status widget is free to embed. White-label versions, custom sizes and raw JSON access are licensed separately from sponsorship.

Who reads it

  • 66.5% of 53,205 sessions came from the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand; the US alone 31,913. Sep 5–Oct 4, 2026 · GA4
  • 59.3% of sessions on phones, 39.5% on desktop. Sep 27–Oct 3, 2026 · GA4

The subscriber list is small but not casual. Without naming anyone, the confirmed subscribers write from a United Nations food agency, a multilateral development bank, a national health ministry, a global container shipping line, two international agribusinesses, a consumer-health manufacturer, and universities and school districts. That is the audience this site was built for, and it is why we sell attention rather than impressions.

We do not track email opens — that is switched off deliberately — so we have no open rate to quote and will not invent one. The audience is also still early: this site launched in July 2026 and has grown through the event, not through paid acquisition.

Why now

  • NOAA's weekly Niño 3.4 reading for the week of September 30, 2026 was +3.2°C — the warmest week in the series since 1981.
  • NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, in its discussion of September 10, 2026, put the odds of October-December 2026 being stronger than any El Niño since 1950 — +2.5°C or more on the three-month RONI — at 75%.
  • Attention to El Niño follows the event. CPC's discussion of September 10, 2026 puts the chance of a very strong event at more than 90%. This is not an evergreen weather site; it tracks one event with a known schedule.

The rules

  • One sponsor per period, in all five placements at once. No rotation.
  • Sponsorship is always labelled as sponsorship, and never shapes what the site says about the data.
  • Nothing that moves the page: no interstitials, no autoplay, no animation.
  • Exclusive over sponsorship. Standard display ads from an ad network may run separately — never inside the briefing and never presented as editorial.

Rates

Rates depend on placement and duration. Tell us what you sell and who you want to reach, and we will tell you honestly whether this audience is a fit — including when it isn't. A sponsor who gets nothing from this audience is worse for us than an empty slot.
