Rent a section. Not our opinion.

Honest MOS sells one sponsor slot per section, 90 days at a time, at a flat fee. You get a labeled unit in front of people looking up the exact thing your business helps with. You don't get a say in anything we rate. If that second part is a dealbreaker, we're not the site for you, and that's fine.

Who reads it

Service members, people about to sign, spouses, parents, and veterans who came with a specific question — what's BAH at my next base, is this job worth it, which discount is real — and stayed for the answer.

12 Aug – 9 Nov 2026 · humans only, bot-filtered. Bots are a big chunk of any site's raw traffic; these numbers are what's left after we take them out.

The four sections

Sold in 90-day blocks only. You're the only sponsor in the sections you buy for the whole term. Sections you don't buy stay open to others.

Tools

$900 / 90 days

Every calculator, tracker, and lookup — promotion cutoffs, reenlistment bonuses, ranks, ASVAB, reserve units — except the housing and PCS tools, which ride with Installations.

Careers

$450 / 90 days

Every MOS, rating, and AFSC page, the branch hubs, the career playbooks, and the best-jobs guides.

Installations

$150 / 90 days

Every base guide, the base-vs-base comparisons, and the BAH, OHA, COLA, PCS, privatized-housing, and VA loan tools.

Discounts

$100 / 90 days

The veteran-discounts directory: the hub, every category, the state pages, and the listings.

What money can't buy here

Flat fee. That’s the only kind.

You pay a fixed price for a 90-day block, up front. No per-click, per-lead, or per-sale pricing, and no bonus for performance. We earn the same whether a reader clicks or not, which is the point.

Money never touches ratings.

A sponsorship can’t change a rating, a review, a sort order, a score, or whether we publish something you’d rather we didn’t. No promoted reviews, no paid placement in any ranking, no buying a better verdict — and no buying a worse one for a competitor.

You get no reader data.

No email, no account, no MOS, no rank, no installation, no verification tier, no activity. The link goes to your site with nothing of ours attached. Nothing a reader writes here is ever tied to an advertiser.

It’s labeled, every time.

Your unit carries a “Sponsored” strip, says in plain words who you are and how you get paid, and looks nothing like our editorial. Every link is marked rel="sponsored".

No endorsement.

Sponsoring a section isn’t a review, a recommendation, or coverage. We won’t write about you because you paid, and we won’t hold back if there’s something readers should know.

We can say no.

We turn down sponsors we’d warn a reader about — predatory lenders, claims sharks, anything that would make us liars on our own pages — and we don’t owe anyone a reason.

The unit, and what you get back

  • One unit per page, placed inside the content where your section's readers actually are — on a base page, right under the BAH numbers.
  • Headline up to 45 characters, body up to 150, button up to 18, plus one line saying who you are and how you get paid. We give your copy an editorial pass and check every figure against your own published terms.
  • The link goes to any URL on your own domain, exactly as you give it. Want UTM tags? Put them on the URL yourself — we don't add anything.
  • End-of-term report: pageviews on your section, unit views, clicks, and click-through rate. Totals only. A “view” means at least half the unit was on screen for a full second; counts come from readers who allow analytics, with known bot traffic removed. Your own analytics will see the clicks land, so you can check our work.

How to start

Tell us which sections you want and when you'd like to start. We'll confirm what's open, you send copy, we invoice. The unit goes live once payment clears and the copy is approved.
