Advertise & Partnerships
Clinch (cupbracket.com) is an independent data site that aggregates standings and clinch scenarios for the KBO, MLB, NFL, NBA, F1, K League, KBL, V-League, Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and Champions League directly from match records, updated daily. It runs on the same engine that served the 2026 World Cup bracket and scenarios in six languages; those pages stay up as an archive. For brands looking at sports advertising we offer sponsor banners (booked by the week), sponsored articles and a match-day sponsor; KBO advertising runs on our most-read KBO pages, and measured reach and rates are published below. If you want to reach sports fans or build something together, get in touch below.
Why advertise here
- ✓Readers come to check clinch numbers, playoff races and title chases
- ✓We publish our method — every figure is computed from match records, and the methodology pages show how
- ✓Most readers are in Korea — KBO pages get the most views and other sports are still small (measured shares by sport are in the estimate below)
Ways to work with us
Display & Sponsorship

Branded Content
Sponsored articles, match previews and campaign tie-ins.
Custom data widget (built after consultation)
Custom build, made after consultation · there is no finished widget yet: we agree the format, the data and the delivery date first · a magic-number / title-race widget for your own site or app (only figures we calculate) · ₩30,000 a week × season multiplier is the basis for the quote, agreed when we talk
Partnerships
Affiliates, cross-promotion and custom collaborations.
Where banners appear
A sponsor banner is one line (text and a link, optionally a small image) in the single sponsor spot on each Korean-language page listed below (mid-page or near the bottom, depending on the page). The spot shows an “Ad” label with the advertiser's name, and the link is marked as sponsored (rel="sponsored"). Spots without an advertiser show our own advertising notice. If several advertisers book the same spot, all of them are shown. Booked dates (Korea dates, first and last day included) are checked in the visitor's browser against the Korea date when the page is opened, cached pages included.

A banner for a single sport is sold only when that sport's pages reach at least 100 people a week in total. This is re-checked every time reach is re-measured, on the 1st of each month. Spots on sports without a single-sport banner still carry site-wide banners and big-game day sponsors.
A big-game day sponsor appears that day (00:00–24:00 Korea time) in the sponsor spots of the Korean-language pages covering that game. Which pages is agreed from this list when you get in touch, and only days when a page covering the game has a sponsor spot are sold. If a sponsor banner is in the same spot, both are shown.
Banners don't appear on pages not listed here (for example the KBO schedule or the site's front page), on pages in other languages, or on pages of cancelled or postponed KBO games. The reach in the estimate below, including the weekly reach behind the banner rate, is measured across all of the target's pages, these included, so fewer people than that see the banner (reach of the pages with a sponsor spot alone hasn't been measured).
Today's rates are the lowest they will be For the same product in the same month, at list price
Sponsor-banner list rates rise as reach grows, and no product's base rate is ever lowered. So for the same product in the same month, no later quote will be cheaper than today's. A different month carries a different season multiplier.
Base rates only go up
Today's banner base rates are set from monthly reach measured 2026-09-10 to 2026-10-09 (daily visitors added up). On the 1st of each month we re-derive banner base rates from newly measured reach, only ever raising them, never lowering them. A banner whose reach-based amount is below the weekly minimum stays at the minimum, sponsored articles and big-game day sponsorships are fixed rates that don't follow reach, and the custom data widget (built after consultation) is agreed from a weekly amount that doesn't follow reach either. Season multipliers (Peak ×2.0 · Regular ×1.0 · Low ×0.7) apply by the month an ad runs, as in the calendar below (not to the flat daily big-game day rate).
Quote-date rate held for the whole contract
A quote is valid until the end of the month it's made in; book within that time and the unit rate on your quote date applies for the whole contract. Even a 24-week run isn't repriced midway.

The World Cup ran 2026-06-11 to 2026-07-19. June's 35,252 pageviews came in the month of the opener and the group stage, when qualification scenarios were in play, plus the start of the Round of 32 (from June 28). They fell in July, from the rest of the Round of 32 to the final, fell further in August and rose again in September.
2026-09-25 (the day of the Asian Games baseball super-round game between Korea and Japan): 587 pageviews that day, 2.6× the 2026-09-01 to 2026-09-25 daily average of 217.9 (that day included). It was the day with the most pageviews between 2026-09-01 and 2026-09-25. A one-day product for days like this is the Big-game day sponsor, below (its flat daily rate is set by the operator, not derived from this record).
Vercel Web Analytics pageviews (Korea-time dates), excluding bot traffic from Singapore and China, measured 2026-10-10. Pageviews are not people. The reach used in estimates (about 6,155 people a month site-wide) is daily visitors from 2026-09-10 to 2026-10-09 added up, so someone who visits on several days is counted once for each day, and the pageview multiple above is not a reach multiple. Some months had fewer pageviews than that figure, such as Jul and Aug in the table above.
Checked 2026-10-01: #1 in Naver web results for “가을야구 경우의 수” (KBO postseason scenarios). Search rankings change.

Big-game day sponsor ₩50,000 a day · List price · VAT excluded
A single big-game day, with one big-game day sponsor per day. A flat daily rate that doesn't depend on the month or the period.
Days on offer
Korea national-team game days, KBO postseason game days, days with a final or title-deciding game, only when a Korean-language page covering that game has a sponsor spot (00:00–24:00 Korea time). The date is set after you get in touch, from days still open, and the sponsorship appears that day in those pages' sponsor spots (which pages is agreed from the “Where banners appear” list).
Flat daily rate
No season multiplier or long-term discount. Pick 1–7 days in the calculator below for an estimate.
One sponsor per day
Each day takes a single big-game day sponsor. Other advertisers can still run a sponsor banner or sponsored articles that day, and if a sponsor banner is in the same spot, both are shown.
Measured on a game day
2026-09-25 (the day of the Asian Games baseball super-round game between Korea and Japan): 587 pageviews that day, 2.6× the 2026-09-01 to 2026-09-25 daily average of 217.9 (that day included). It was the day with the most pageviews between 2026-09-01 and 2026-09-25.
From 19:00 to 23:00 Korea time that day, visitors from Korea made 346 pageviews: 296 (85%) on the Asian Games baseball page, 325 (93%) from Naver search and 313 (90%) on mobile.
Pageviews from Korea by hour: 19:00 57 · 20:00 129 · 21:00 109 · 22:00 51
Vercel Web Analytics pageviews (Korea-time dates), excluding bot traffic from Singapore and China, measured 2026-09-26.
This is one measured day, not a guarantee. Other game days can get far fewer visits, depending on the game, the draw and search visibility.
Estimate by sport and season
Pick a target, start month, period and products to see the estimated reach and list price.
Weeks run from the 1st of the start month. Each week takes the season multiplier of the month it starts in.
Estimated cumulative reach of all the target's pages: about 5,744 people
Based on about 6,155 people a month across all of the site's pages (including pages without a sponsor spot and pages not in Korean) — daily visitors measured 2026-09-10 to 2026-10-09 and added up, so someone who visits on several days is counted once for each day (the number of different people can be lower).
An estimate based on traffic share measured over the last 30 days (2026-09-10 to 2026-10-09) — not a guarantee. A sport's share can change with the season.
Fewer people than this see the banner. This reach, and the weekly reach in the banner rate, count all of the target's pages, but the banner appears only in the sponsor spots of the Korean-language pages listed under “Where banners appear” — anyone who only visits pages not on that list (for example the KBO schedule or the site's front page) or pages in other languages doesn't see it. Reach of the pages with a sponsor spot alone hasn't been measured.
Cumulative reach adds up monthly reach (daily visitors added up) over the period, so a reader who comes back on another day is counted again. The number of different people can be lower.

Indicative estimate at list price (VAT excluded). Final price and dates are agreed after you get in touch; banners appear in the sponsor spots listed under “Where banners appear”. A quote is valid until the end of the month it's made in; book within that time and the unit rate on your quote date holds for the whole contract.
Projected price rises
What the same product would cost if reach grew this much. It's not a forecast of when the site will get there — it's arithmetic at ₩107,000 per 1,000 people reached, and where that comes to less than the weekly minimum the cell shows the minimum (marked ‘minimum’).

Sponsor banner for 4 weeks · Regular (×1.0) · VAT excluded. The monthly site reach in the “now” row is daily visitors measured 2026-09-10 to 2026-10-09 and added up (someone who visits on several days is counted once for each day). The KBO banner keeps KBO's currently measured share (52.5%) and adds sport targeting ×1.3. Base rates are not lowered if reach falls. Reach counts all pages, including pages without a sponsor spot, so fewer people than this see the banner (see “Where banners appear”).
For the whole site and KBO, Aug–Nov is peak season (×2.0) — the playoff race, then the KBO postseason from October. Peak weeks cost 2× the amounts shown.
Season calendar by sport
Each month (Korea time) is marked peak, regular or low. In an estimate, each week takes the multiplier of the month it starts in.

Seasons follow each league's title races and postseason calendar. The whole site follows the KBO calendar, which accounts for 52.5% of pageviews. Monthly reach is an estimate: the site's daily visitors over the last 30 days (2026-09-10 to 2026-10-09), added up (someone who visits on several days is counted once for each day), times each target's measured share — not a guarantee. A sport's share can change with the season. Monthly reach counts all of the target's pages, including pages without a sponsor spot, so fewer people than this see the banner. That window was the KBO Peak season, so monthly reach can be lower in KBO Regular / Low months. Even in Aug 2026, a KBO Peak month, the site had 1,160 pageviews in the whole month, fewer than the site-wide monthly reach used here (about 6,155 people), so monthly reach can be lower even in KBO Peak months.
small: under 30 people a month — this sport's pages are still small. pre-season: measured before the sport's season started, so it can change once the season is under way.
no banner: under 100 people a week, so we don't sell a banner for this sport alone — its season multipliers apply to sponsored articles and the custom data widget (built after consultation). Site-wide banners still appear in the sponsor spots on its pages.
FAQ
How are the ad rates set?
The weekly base price of a sponsor banner is tied to measured reach (Vercel Web Analytics, excluding bot traffic from Singapore and China) and is re-set on the 1st of every month. Base rates only go up, never down — they never fall below the highest price we have set so far. A season multiplier (peak, regular, low) applies per sport. An estimate is valid until the end of the month it was made in, and if you sign within that window the rate on the estimate date is locked for the whole contract. All amounts are list prices excluding VAT; the final amount is agreed when we talk.
What is the minimum term, and are there long-run discounts?
Sponsor banners are booked by the week, from 1 week. Long-run discounts are 8 weeks 5%, 12 weeks 10%, 24 weeks 15% and apply only to sponsor banners and the custom data widget (built after consultation). Sponsored articles are a one-off amount per article and the match-day sponsor is a flat daily rate, so neither gets a long-run discount.
Is reach (impressions) guaranteed?
No. The reach on this page is an estimate based on the last 30 days of measurements (daily visitor totals and pageview share by sport) and is not a guaranteed figure. Shares shift with the season, and the estimate calculator is for reference only. We do not promise clicks, conversions or any other outcome.
Which sport pages take a sponsor banner?
Sponsor banners are sold only for targets whose weekly reach is at least 100 (re-assessed from measurements on the 1st of each month). Right now that is Whole site, KBO, MLB, NFL, K League. Sports below the threshold still take sponsored articles and the match-day sponsor, and the whole-site banner runs in their sponsor slots.
What are the rules for sponsored articles?
Sponsored articles use only verified figures we compute ourselves from match records, and they are labelled as sponsored. We do not write odds, predictions, betting lines or any claim that guarantees results.
