Help > Advertising
If you're not using the book's cover image, or advertising a book, we recommend adding a small image (50px x 66px) to accompany your ad and visually explain your book or product. If you have any questions about this, please contact us at support@goodreads.com
Sponsored posts are paid advertisements. Authors and publishers want to promote their books on our site because they know that the most discerning and influential readers use Goodreads.. Advertising helps us to maintain Goodreads and continue to improve the site.
We have three guiding principles for sponsored posts:
Transparent - We will always clearly identify the post as sponsored.
Relevant – Sponsored posts will be relevant to you.
Consistent - Sponsored posts should feel like a natural part of the Goodreads design and not detract from the overall experience.
If you’re not interested in a particular ad, you can tell us via the menu in the top-right corner of every sponsored post. We’ll remember your preferences, and you won’t see that book promoted in your updates again.
If you have feedback on the sponsored posts you see, or any aspect of their presentation, please contact us.
