Source: waffleboard.io/ranking (September 2026) — third-party estimate of monthly visits (not de-duplicated).
※ The visitors and page views under “Audience” above are our own GA4 measurements (de-duplicated). This comparison uses a third-party estimate of monthly visits so that several communities can be put on the same scale; the methods differ, so the absolute numbers differ.

Engagement and loyalty — No. 1 among major Korean communities third-party data · 4 metrics

Among major Korean communities, Ilbe ranks first in engagement and loyalty — No. 1 on three of the four metrics (pages per visitor, visits with 2+ pages, direct traffic) and No. 2 on visit duration. In particular, each visitor views 16.0 pages a day, 1.9 times the runner-up (8.3). Ad impressions come from time spent and pages viewed, not from the number of visits, so a site with higher engagement delivers more impressions from the same visits.

Sources — visit duration, pages per visitor, visits with 2+ pages: hypestat.com (Similarweb-based, September 2026) / direct traffic: Similarweb (June–August 2026, three months). These come from a different source than the monthly-visit comparison above, so they are shown as a separate block. “Pages per visitor” is daily page views ÷ daily visitors.
Visit duration is near the top, and 16.0 pages per visitor and 84.3% of visits with 2+ pages are the highest in the group (bounce rate 15.7% · Clien 42.3% · Blind 51.4%). In other words, the same visit produces two to three times the ad impressions. Our own GA4 shows an average of 7.8 minutes and 11.5 pages per visit; the absolute values differ because the measurement methods differ.

Relaunch discount in effect — when we rebuilt our inventory around impression-based (CPM) pricing we halved the base rates, and an additional 50% discount applies on top. There is no set end date; any change will be announced in advance.

Flat-rate packages — a “weekly flat” package holds the slot for the whole period. Impressions are not guaranteed (we share measured reference volumes on request). Creatives are due three days before the start and go through review. Early cancellation carries a fee of 30% of the remaining period.

CPM = price per 1,000 impressions; CPC = price per click. Rates are in Korean won (KRW), VAT excluded. Exclusive periods or placements and targeting of specific boards are negotiable. Click-through rates (CTR) per placement are being measured and will be published on this page from October 2026.

We accept JPG, PNG and GIF image banners (up to 300 KB; sizes as in the tables above).
