Our readers are Rust players picking a server for the next wipe, and they check the numbers before they commit.

They come for live population, wipe schedules and the ups and downs of the server scene. They leave having picked somewhere to play.

Where your placement can go

The rules we keep

Placements run per month and are arranged by email. Sponsored spots are always labelled as sponsored. Paying never changes the order of a list, and it never touches the population figures.

Email hello@rustpopwatch.world with the server or product you want to promote and the dates you have in mind. You will get a reply with the options and current rates.

The problem page

You asked, we answered

How do I advertise on Rust Pop Watch?

Email hello@rustpopwatch.world with the server or product and the dates you want. The reply sets out the placements available and the current rates. Placements are sold per month.

Does paying change where a server appears in the rankings?

No. Sponsored placements are always labelled as sponsored, and paying never changes the order of a list. Population figures and rankings come from the live data, not from advertisers.

Where can a sponsored placement appear?

Featured spots sit on the pages players use to pick a server, such as the server population list, just wiped and the regional and play-style lists. Banners can run on the home page or across the site, and there is a sponsored slot on the force wipe countdown.
